Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love, and in endurance.
Titus
2:2
New
International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE
Worthy
of respect! What a goal for our lives whether we are men or women! Don't you
want your life to reflect the character of God because our faith expresses
itself in a life of self-control. This work of the Spirit in our lives happens
only as we dedicate ourselves to being what he is at work trying to accomplish
in us.
MY PRAYER
Father,
please strengthen me through your Spirit so that I may gain better control of
my passions, my speech, my example, and my habits. Help me put to death the
things that would rob me of my spiritual passion and my influence for good to
those who do not know Jesus. Through whom I pray. Amen.
Keep Hearing The Good
News
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word
of God.
Romans 10:17
Let
me share with you what hearing and hearing the good news of the gospel did for
one student in my congregation.
This
student had done badly in her mid-year examination, failing three core
subjects. Her parents then started playing my messages in their home and car as
often as they could. As this girl listened repeatedly to the messages, her
parents shared with me that they noticed a dramatic change in her attitude
toward her studies. She started to place her hope and reliance on God, and
peace began to replace the stress of school.
Six
months later, in her final-year examination, to her delight (and that of her
parents), she scored really well in those core subjects and received two
awards: one for being among the top students in class and another for having
made the best progress!
Beloved,
whatever your challenge is today, continual listening to the gospel of Jesus
always brings faith and peace, and always leads you to good success!
