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 (Titus 2:10).
Examine your
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 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 me 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

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 me 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~”
