In 1 Timothy 2:4 Paul recorded the Lord’s heart. It says, “Who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” That takes us to 2 Peter 3:9. It says that He is, “…longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”

1 Timothy 2:2 ends with the way we are to comport ourselves so that the gospel can be received by others. We are to live in all godliness and reverence. Ask yourself: Does my life exemplify the Lord in every aspect? Worship is a lifestyle. 

I love Psalm 25:14 in the Amplified. It says, “The secret (of the sweet, satisfying companionship) of the Lord have they who fear (revere and worship) Him, and He will show them His covenant and reveal to them its (deep, inner) meaning.”

1 Peter 1:17 says, “And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear.” Lord, help us to please you in all our ways.
