Guard what's Entrusted

My team is using the SOAP method of doing devotions as a team. We're following a bible reading plan together, and today's passage came across 1 Tim. 6:20. It says, "O Timothy(happens to be my middle name) guard what has been entrusted to you, avoiding Worldly and empty chatter..." As I read this today, I really felt God speaking directly towards me about two things I need to make sure i'm doing as a leader. These are, Praying for my teams protection and truly Loving each person. What a timely word as we're heading off to Japan in less than two weeks! So i pray,

"Father God, I thank you for this word, and for all that you've allowed me to serve you in. I pray now that you'd be with each member of my team and keep them safe with all blessings and your anointing. I also pray for Love to excel in and through each person of this team, for the building up of one another and the spreading of your Love to the people we meet in Japan. I love you God and I pray that our witness now and in Japan would be like a sweet fragrance to you. Amen"
