2 Timothy 4:9
9 Do thy diligence [spoudazo] to come [erchomai] shortly [tacheos] unto [pros] me: [me] KJV-Interlinear
9 Make
every effort to come to me soon; NASB
Into everybody's life
there comes along friends and foes.
Paul addressed Timothy
as a true child in faith and a beloved son.
Timothy was raised in doctrinal principles by his parents, as we have
already studied, but the greatest share of his understanding came from Paul.
For just a few decades,
their relationship as mentor and instructor, and student, they both shared many
trials, including imprisonment (of both men) because of their faith.
Timothy was one of
Pauls most loyal friends, sharing everything in truth, and expecting nothing.
True friends never attach
a price nor strings of expectations, on their friendship.
Throughout your life
you will have old friends and new ones, some will be consistent in their friendship
and some will not.
In any case, no single
person goes through life without some sort of friend, whether it be a person from
the other side of the world, as is possible in our current day, or whether it
be a spouse who is right beside you day after day.
Many things and people
help shape our lives and make us into what we are today.
But in every situation
in life, doctrine is the key that places all that we are, into proper perspective
with the rest of humanity and especially with God.
The key to your
orientation to life, first begins with your orientation with God and truth, and
from there, if your interest in spiritual growth is genuine and not pretense or
phony, then everything else in life will come together naturally.
All that is required of
you is a desire to want to learn, and then a dedication to learning as mandated
by God.
