Teaching and Training, Day 35

The Lord be with your Spirit. What a beautiful phrase! Read 2 Timothy 4:19-22.

As Paul closes out his letter to Timothy, he adds some final words or greeting to individuals and then closes with these final words in this verse pictured above. Not just that the Lord should be with you, but that the Lord be with your spirit.

On the days when we are discouraged or delighted, the days when we are overwhelmed or overjoyed, no matter our circumstance, the Lord is to keep our spirit in check and lift it up. He is with us, but not just that. He is with us in very specific and sustaining ways. The Lord is all that we need and all that we desire. He is the one who sustains our spirit every day.
