Titus 2 ~ Praying Scripture

Please read Titus 2.

Meditate on verse 10b.

Showing all good faith so that they will adorn

 the doctrine of God our Savior in every respect.

The churches on the island of Crete needed Godly leaders and Godly members.  Paul gave the characteristics, the Lord’s expectations, for men and women, young and old, from all walks of life.   These attributes are listed in Titus 2.  When believers exhibit these characteristics, they show all good faith and adorn the doctrine of God in every respect.

Examine your own life.  How do you adorn the doctrine of God your Savior?  Does your behavior beautifully give credence to the doctrine of God or does it portray things of God as being ridiculous.  The way you speak and act tells the world what you believe about God.   Evaluate your words and actions in light of Titus 2.  God said in Titus 1:16 that those who profess to know God but deny Him by their deeds are detestable, disobedient, and worthless for any good deed.  What would the Lord say about you?

Pray Titus 2:1-8 over yourself and those for whom you are stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).  [I prayed these verses over my son and his wife everyday for 256 days prior to their wedding, so God would establish them in these Godly characteristics.  I continue to pray them over my husband, children, and grandchildren.]

“Lord, let __________ and I speak things fitting for sound doctrine.

Let ________ be temperate, dignified, sensible,

sound in faith, sound in love, sound in perseverance.

Let ________ be reverent in her behavior,

not a malicious gossip nor enslaved to much wine.

May she teach what is good,

so she can encourage ________ to love her husband,

to love her children, to be sensible, pure, a stayer at home,

kind, subject to her own husband

so that Your Word will not be dishonored.

Likewise let ___________ be sensible.

 In all things let _________ and I show ourselves

to be an example of good deeds with purity in doctrine,

dignified, sound in speech which is beyond reproach,

so that the opponent will be put to shame

and have nothing bad to say about us.

In Your name, Jesus~”
