There are some books of the Bible that are so short, we can easily skip over them. The Gospel of John, rightly, gets a good deal of attention. And 1 John gets a bit of air time from pulpits. But 2 John and 3 John are often overlooked. Yet, here in these books are some gems. Consider this great verse:

John Stott
walk inthe truth
Father,
You are worthy of following after. We want our children to walk in the footsteps of the godly. We know that at your right hand are pleasures evermore and that those who go after other gods have a multiplication of sorrow. Because of this, we want our children to walk in the truth. We acknowledge that far too often we have not been consistent ourselves. At times for our children to walk in the footsteps of the godly, they must sadly step out of our own steps. Forgive us for this, Lord. Lead us, lead them, into the path of righteousness. May we delight in truth.
Amen.
