From 2 Timothy 4:1-2: “In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and His kingdom, I solemnly urge you: proclaim the message; be persistent whether the time is favorable or unfavorable; convince, rebuke, and encourage with the utmost patience in teaching.”
Always be prepared
Proclaiming God’s Word
Staying persistent
Every season stirred
Always be patient
Encouraging words
Sharing Father’s grace
Every season heard
Always be faithful
Remaining steadfast
Enduring hardships
Every season cast
Always be truthful
Teaching Gospel’s facts
Turning toward God
Every season acts
Always be strengthened
Believing in God
Kneeling and praying
Every season lauds
From 2 Timothy 4:5: “As for you, be sober in everything, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, carry out your ministry fully.”

“Ready” is my word for 2023 — so yes, I am making sure I am “ready” in more ways than one. This poem points to some important ways: patient, fruitful, truthful, strengthened… ah, yes… putting on the armor of God. I loved the line: “Remaining steadfast.” That’s an important key! Thanks for your delightful poem, Richard. ❤

It’s the patient part that is hard- we want results now, forgetting how patient the Lord has been with us.
