My prayer for you for today is that you will live a godly
life devoted to God, in Jesus name.
Titus
1:1-2
This
letter is from Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ. I have been
sent to proclaim faith to those God has chosen and to teach them to know the
truth that shows them how to live godly lives. This truth gives them
confidence that they have eternal life, which God—who does not lie—promised
them before the world began.
Slave - a slave of
God and an apostle of Jesus Christ. When I read this opening to Titus this
morning I couldn’t help to have the “Wow” thought (Once again). At first when
you read Paul stating that he is a slave of God you think that this is a little
inappropriate, but the Holy Spirit passed the image through my mind of a slave.
A slave is loyal to his master doing his every request with no complaint and
never questioning the authority of his master. A slave is fully and completely
devoted to his master and his work. And then Paul adds on “and an apostle of Jesus Christ.”
My dear friend there is something in this that we should
take very serious in our reminder today. If you are a slave to God you will
never do anything to anger Him or embarrass Him. You will seek to do His will
and obey His commands. You will work for Him with a joyful heart and never
complain and always with contentment. And above that you are an apostle of
Jesus Christ who must proclaim the truth to all that God chose and teach them
this truth that will show them how to live a godly life. This truth will give
people confidence that they have eternal life which God promised to all that
believe.
So today I remind you to be a slave, a slave of God and
to live for Jesus. Have an amazing day dear slave of God.
Cheers
