“But you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught. You know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you.” (2 Timothy 3:14 NLT)
In the military implied tasks are those tasks that a soldier, marine, sailor, or airman must accomplish so that a mission can be successful. Implied tasks are neither in manuals or written orders, instead, the individual is just supposed to know what is to be done. If the kingdom is going to grow and more people follow the way of Jesus, then there are things we must do without being constantly told or constantly reminded to do. We are supposed to live the life of a follower that is positive, encouraging, and inviting to all people. We are always supposed to be looking at the world through spiritual lenses, able to see the good in others and the opportunities that are around us to introduce people to Jesus. You are a student of Holy Scripture, confident in the truth that is contained within you. You are to be confident, approachable, and full of grace that is shown in times of adversity and in times of calm. No one should have to remind us of this; because we are followers of Jesus, and we know what we must do to accomplish the mission.
IronMaker’s Daily Challenge: Read 2 Timothy 3 and identify the implied tasks Paul shares with Timothy.
Prayer: Lord, do not let me end this day without completing the task you have given me. Let me live before others, the way to you.
