1 Timothy 1:4 – Today’s Verse for May 6, 2025 Tuesday

“Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.“
— 1 Timothy 1:4 KJV

Reflection on Today's Verse

We should not to waste time on endless talk—genealogies, myths, debates that go nowhere. Paul isn’t slamming curiosity. He’s reminding us what matters most: building people up in God’s truth, not showing off how much we know.

God didn’t call us to win arguments. He called us to love, to serve, to help others grow in faith. There’s a kind of knowledge that puffs up, and another that lights up the path for someone else. That’s the kind worth chasing.

So much of faith is staying focused. The enemy doesn’t always tempt with evil—sometimes it’s just distraction dressed up like wisdom. But grace keeps our eyes steady. It clears out the noise and brings us back to what’s real: faith working through love.

Personal Prayer

Lord, keep my heart anchored in what matters. When I’m tempted to chase distractions—endless debates, clever words, things that feed pride but not faith—pull me back to You. Teach me to love truth without needing to prove anything.

Help me build others up, not tear them down. Give me a heart that values grace over knowledge, compassion over being right. Make my faith simple, sincere, and strong—always growing, always pointing to You.

Quiet the noise around me, and the noise inside me. Let Your Word be my foundation, and love be my aim. In Jesus’ name, amen.
