Scripture
2 Timothy 2:15-16
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.

Application
Pine trees are my favorite tree and not just because of Christmas. We had groups of them behind our house when I was a kid. They were my fort, my climbing tree, my lair and my place of solitude. Those trees always stood strong and proud. We can be those trees for others. When we prove ourselves by not being gossipy and avoiding those conversations we shine with God’s light. We become places of solitude for hurting people. So stand tall and strong. You never know who is going to need the security of your pine tree fort.
Prayer
Lord, thank you for providing me with places of shelter when I am hurting. Let me be thaat shelter for others around me. ~Amen
