  3. ✝️ 2 Timothy 4:9-22

  4. 📖 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion’s mouth. The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (vv. 17-18)

  5. 📝 Only Jesus stands by us, strengthens us, and leads us to heaven. The world may seem appealing, but it cannot save or love us like God does. Don’t envy fame or wealth—trust in Christ alone. He offers what the world cannot: eternal love, rescue, and strength for every battle.

7-Step QT Notes

1. 🙏 Quiet Time

Pause.
Take a deep breath.
Ask God to help you trust His presence and power in every season of life.

2. 📅 November 8, 2025

Today’s passage reminds us:
The Lord stands with you, strengthens you, and will bring you safely home.

3. ✝️ 2 Timothy 4:9–22

Paul, abandoned by many, declares that the Lord stood by him, gave him strength, rescued him, and will bring him safely into His heavenly kingdom. His confidence wasn’t in people or circumstances—but in God’s faithful presence.

4. 📖 Key Verse

“But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me… The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom.” (vv. 17–18)

5. 📝 Reflection

Do you ever feel alone or overlooked? Paul did. Friends left him, enemies attacked him, and his life was nearing its end. Yet he wasn’t bitter—he was bold. Why? Because God never left him.

In a world that promises love but often disappoints, only Jesus truly stands by us. He strengthens us when we’re weak, rescues us when we’re in danger, and leads us home when our race is done.

Don’t be fooled by the world’s glitter. No influencer, celebrity, or success can do what Jesus does. He’s the only one who loves you perfectly, walks with you faithfully, and welcomes you eternally.

6. 💬 What does this passage speak to you today?

  • Where do I look for strength when I feel alone?
  • What does trusting God’s presence look like in my daily life?
  • How can I live today with confidence in His eternal promise?

7. 🙏 Prayer

Lord, thank You for standing by me when others walk away.
Strengthen me today.
Help me trust Your love, Your rescue, and Your promise to bring me safely home.
Amen.

Scriptures

📖 9 Do your best to come to me soon. 10 For Demas, in love with this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. 11 Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is very useful to me for ministry. 12 Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. 13 When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, also the books, and above all the parchments. 14 Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; the Lord will repay him according to his deeds. 15 Beware of him yourself, for he strongly opposed our message. 16 At my first defense no one came to stand by me, but all deserted me. May it not be charged against them! 17 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion’s mouth. 18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

19 Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. 20 Erastus remained at Corinth, and I left Trophimus, who was ill, at Miletus. 21 Do your best to come before winter. Eubulus sends greetings to you, as do Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brothers. 22 The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you (2 Tim 4:9-22, ESV).

Then curse them for me from there.” 14 And he took him to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar. 15 Balaam said to Balak, “Stand here beside your burnt offering, while I meet the LORD over there.” 16 And the LORD met Balaam and put a word in his mouth and said, “Return to Balak, and thus shall you speak.” 17 And he came to him, and behold, he was standing beside his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said to him, “What has the LORD spoken?” 18 And Balaam took up his discourse and said, “Rise, Balak, and hear; give ear to me, O son of Zippor: 19  God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. ...
