Sharing Our Faith

Scripture: Philemon 1: [6] I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ.

Observation: Active in sharing means to make an effort, to go out of my way to share the gospel. I may share my faith when someone comes to me and asks, but I’m not active to seek people who need to hear the gospel. I share my testimony in church where it is safe but I’m not active seeking those that need it. As I share the gospel the Holy Spirit takes over and I have a better understanding as the words come forth.

Application: I need to be active with my faith and to seek out any opportunity to share with those who don’t know the gospel.

Prayer: My Lord open my eyes to someone today that needs to hear about you. Use me as your instrument to glorify you.

Doing Good

Scripture: Titus 3: [8] This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.

Observation: I like to do what is good, but I don’t devote myself to it. I seem to do good when I’m thinking about it and when it doesn’t interfere with what I want. God is so trustworthy and faithful in all He does and He deserves all my love, praise and obedience, yet I give so little.

Application: In everything I do I need to devote myself in doing what is good and right. Looking for the right way and not a short cut. Devoting myself to doing good and not living only for me.

Prayer: My Lord guide me each day to do what is good in your eyes. May I bring a smile to your face and may I glorify your name.

His Own People

Scripture: Titus 2: [14] who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

Observation: That’s me, one of the people Jesus gave himself for, but how eager am I to do good. I want to do good, God has placed that in my spirit, but at what cost. My laziness and focus of the things of this world slow down the deeds I should be doing to please God.

Application: My main priority needs to be serving God. The Bible makes that very clear. The way I serve God is by doing good deeds to glorify Him. I need to place that first on my list of things to do each day.

Prayer: My Lord give me strength so I may honor you this day. Create my agenda today, may my deeds glorify you.

Mark, A Servant

Scripture: Titus 1:1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God’s elect and the knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness–

Observation: I want to be known as a servant of God. I want to be able to describe myself the way Paul does. I want to live out God’s purpose for me and have people see that purpose fulfilled by the way I live my life.

Application: Each day I need to ask God what his plan is for my life. I need to clear my mind of all my worries of this world and be focused on what God wants of me.

Prayer: My Lord I am your servant guide me each day in your will so I may finish this race in glory and honor to you.

Help Me Keep the Faith

Scripture: 2 Timothy 4: [7] I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

Observation: I want this to be my testimony before I go home to heaven, but I’m going to have to change to make this true. I have a long way to go before this would be true for me. A day doesn’t seem to go by that my faith fails me.

Application: I need to get into the fight and not sit on the side lines. I need to start running harder towards God and my life must have the evidence that I belong to Him. I need to have my faith increased and set goals for what I’m going to do for Christ.

Prayer: God open my eyes to the purpose you have for me in this life. Get me into the fight, help me in this race that I might win with you. Please increase my faith.

Thoroughly Equipped

Scripture: 2 Timothy 3: [17] so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Observation: I want to be known as a man of God. Each day I want to please God and to fulfill my purpose. Yesterday a brother came to me with a problem he was having. God used me by repeating scriptures he needed to hear. It was amazing I want to do so much more of that.

Application: Continue to read each day and journal but to meditate more and remember the scripture and address so I can tell someone where to find it. I don’t want to give others my opinion but the Word of God.

Prayer: My Lord continue to fill my heart and mind with your word. Use me to do good works that I will glorify you.

Strong in Grace

Scripture: 2 Timothy 2: 1 You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

Observation: Most of the time I feel so weak. This morning, I woke up worrying about so many things that it was hard to get up. My strength comes from God by His grace and when I focus on anything except that I become weak.

Application: I need to focus on why I’m here. God created me and redeemed me. He chose me for a purpose and He is always with me and will control my life if I let Him. He has been faithful all of my life and has never forsaken me and I deserved to be forsaken. I need to live in the power of God’s grace.

Prayer: My Lord fill me with your spirit that I live each day in the strength of your grace.
