I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
—2 Timothy 4:7-8 (KJV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
I am so thankful for Paul's confidence as he faces his death.
