A Daily Devotional – Exhortation – The Eternal Word
Comment: Do we have trouble paying
attention. Now I want to play on those words a bit; if we need something from
the department store, the grocery or some other specialty shop, we march right
out and we shop. Yes we look for bargains, sales and sometimes we even settle
for the less expensive product or model! The bottom line is we do not go
without, we pay for what we think we need. Well, need it or not the one
thing we so often fail at is paying attention, we fail to search
out our needs and in the end the knowledge of meeting our needs falls short of
the intended MARK.
Devotional: When
we attend a Sunday Service, we might contribute to the offering box, but this
is about all the paying we will do. When we read, or sit in on a Bible study we
normally do not pay attention for what is being read or said. Our desire to
listen and meditate is less than what God requires of us. We normally are
distracted by – you can fill in the distraction!
“For the Grace of God that brings Salvation
has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and
worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly
in this present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious
appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ”.
Yesterday we looked at Titus 2:11-15 and personally I was
challenged regarding my own personal walk with the LORD of Glory. If we were to
pay attention to the Words of the
Holy Bible, it would always be on our mind. In which way; you might ask? Looking
for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus
Christ for sober, righteous, and godly
living! And why again? For the Grace of God that has brought
to all of God’s children Salvation.
Again why? Because Jesus Christ/Messiah
has redeemed
us from failing to pay attention a lawless deed that He might
purify for Himself, His own special people, zealous for good works. I like what
the apostle says in verse 15. Speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with
all authority. Let no one despise you or your
lack of paying attention.
