Timothy and Paul

It is interesting to note the dynamic between Timothy and Paul in 1 Thessalonians 3:5-6. I wonder what lessons there are for us today?

1. The leader doesn't have to do it all
2. Find people you can trust with the most important missions
3. Trust your partners
4. Don't partner with people you can't trust! How different, unimaginably, history would be if Jesus had chosen 12 trustworthy disciples, and not just 11!
5. When you are betrayed, accept that God's big picture is still intact.
6. Like Timothy served Paul, so I serve Christ
