We bring together some lessons as we close out 1 Timothy 1.

Our Lord is not in the tomb, and he also is not just out there outside the universe somewhere. By scripture we know He is HERE within us.

Daniel and his companions demonstrated for us that believers can live for God even in true captivity. May that instruct and inspire us in these current times in which we live.

In times when there is noise, abundance of opinions, illness, severe illness and plain old -holding patterns-- let us be the more diligent to 'wait upon the Lord'-

Light is one thing every believer both needs and should deeply desire. Defining -light- is very important as well as understanding that all real light has a price to be paid by someone.

Jeremiah had some good advice for believers while in captivity. Appropriate for spiritual application in the days we are experiencing.

According to our Lord's teaching, there is a kind of joy that can banish anguish. Listen and see-
