I am reading in I Timothy 4:11-16 today and I am reminded I have a high calling. I am to set an example for believers. I am to devote myself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching, and to teaching. I am to watch my life and my doctrine closely. I am to remember what I do makes an eternal difference. It is humbling. It is outside my natural ability. It requires the power and wisdom of God and the laying on of praying hands over me. I renew my oath by proclaiming “So help me God!”
