Pretty Powerful

Are you guys good at fixing things? I wouldn't say I'm totally incapable of fixing something. It depends on the severity of the damage, I guess.  Actually, for me and my husband, if something is broke, and someone can fix it in a timely manner, we would just ask how much.  Now, if the price is crazy and there'd be no way we could afford the help, then that is the time we would go to YouTube. You guys know what I'm talking about.  Nowadays, there seems to be a DIY tutorial for anything!

Good thing for these YouTube videos! They totally are very helpful. See. my husband, he has good eyes and can read instruction and follow them step by step and fix things that way. However, for me, I do not have patience for all of that. And I also don't really have good eyes. As I'm speaking on my devotion right now, my husband says, "you have pretty eyes."  Thanks babe but that's besides the point. I'm all about the power of demonstration.

From prison in Rome, Paul wrote, “You . . . know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, persecutions, sufferings” (2 Timothy 3:10–11)

Paul in the Bible was a good example to his younger pupil Timothy. Timothy would go places with Paul and watched him do all the things he did.  Paul was a powerful example to his young protege Timothy who traveled with him and watched him in action. Simultaneously, he urged Timothy to: Simultaneously, he urged Timothy to “continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures” (vv. 14–15).
We are called to live out God's word as we teach and encourage others. (Daily Bread)
Matthew 5:16 ESV

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.


1 Timothy 3:7 ESV

Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil.
