When you come, bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments.”— 2 Timothy 4:13

I picture Paul—an old man, shivering in a damp prison cell.

His body needed a cloak.

His soul hungered for the books.

And his spirit longed for Timothy’s fellowship.

Even at the end of his life, Paul reminded us that we are whole beings—body, soul, and spirit.

Our body needs care and rest.

Our soul needs the nourishment of God’s Word.

Our spirit needs the warmth of fellowship of our brethren. 

The same Lord who provides food for the body also gives the living Word for the soul and the comfort of His people for the spirit.

When any one of these is neglected, life grows cold.

But when grace, truth, and love flow together, even a prison becomes a place of peace.

Today, ask the Lord to cover you with His cloak of grace, feed you through His Word, and surround you with companionship in Christ

Bless day With Jesus..
