Scripture
1 Timothy 6:11-15
But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I charge you to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords,

Application
Today is National Crayon Day! If you take a quit look at the world you would see lots of black, white and many shades of gray. As Christians, it is our job to color this world with righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. So today I challenge you to pick up your sword (or crayon) and fight the good fight of faith. God has given us a wonderful coloring page. It is time we started coloring it!
Prayer
Lord, thank you for providing us with a beautiful coloring book and lots of fabulous crayons to color with today and every day! ~Amen
