Timely advice to Timothy

Just read this earlier, and it made me think of a few things:

• How timeless the Word of God is
• How easily we forget the advice of the Word of God
  

2 Timothy 6
¹⁷Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. ¹⁸Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. ¹⁹In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
