Shipwrecked!

 

Today's verse is 1 Timothy 1:19-20

     Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: 

     Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

    I am speaking to you who have stumbled, seeming to have lost your way. Who can say of yourself that you have been shipwrecked! And like Hymenaeus and Alexander have been delivered unto Satan. Is all lost? Remember what Paul taught the Corinthians: “To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.” There is a purpose, and all hope is not lost, but lift up the hands that hang down, and remember the one who died for you. Do you not still believe? If so, he has not left you, he is still with you, even as he has promised, so endure this season, seek him out, repenting of your bitterness, and in due course he shall lift you up once again. Amen.

To God be the Glory
