Today’s Reading:
1 Timothy 4:7–16 (EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)

“Set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.”
(1 Timothy 4:12)

This week’s EFKS theme:
Seasons of Life — Maturity

A Thought for Today

Maturity is seen in the way we live, not simply in how old we are.

What This Means for Us Today

Timothy was young, but Paul encouraged him not to let his age define what God could do through him.

Instead, he was to keep growing and let his life become an example.

Faith takes nurturing, practice, and perseverance. Growth happens as we keep showing up.

Carry This With You

Keep growing into the person God is shaping you to be.

A Simple Prayer

Lord, help me grow in love, faith, and character.
Let my life reflect You.

Today’s Invitation

Choose one area of your faith that needs attention.
Give it a little time today.
