Take Heed to Your Ministry

12 Let no one1 despise your youth, but be an aexample to the believers in word, in conduct, in love,2 in spirit, in faith, in purity.  
13 Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to1 doctrine.  
14 aDo not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy bwith the laying on of the hands of the eldership.  
15 Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.
16 Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

I Timothy 4:14-16

This is, of course, instruction to a minister, but it applies to us as well. Paul is telling Timothy not to allow himself to become careless and neglect the calling, the wonderful opportunity that has been given to him. He said to meditate and think on what great thing has been given to him. He told him to have it fastened deeply in his heart. Timothy was told to give himself wholly to it and be absorbed by it.

This is what God wants from us. Paul also says to watch our life and our doctrine closely. Give attention to yourself and to the teaching. He says to not let down, continue, persevere, because in so doing you are going to save yourself and those who hear you. This applies to us, too.
