WHAT DOES "ALL" LOOK LIKE?
REFERENCE
Titus 2:7 [ESV] Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity,
Titus 2:7 [Message] But mostly, show them all this by doing it yourself, incorruptible in your teaching,
Titus 2:7 [NLT] And you yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind. Let everything you do reflect the integrity and seriousness of your teaching.
EXPLORATION
It’s an old cliche, “Walk the walk if you are going to talk the talk” and we walk away from the verse feeling like we’ve been there, heard that before… perhaps even a little edgy; wanting more, wanting something new…
I’ve reread the verse over and over and and what grabs at my heart is the word, “all” -
It made me mindful of Proverbs 3:5,6 [NLT] Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
APPLICATION
Trust…with all your heart … Seek his will in all you do …
Now that’s not; “been there, done that!” That’s a work in process.
PRAYER
Father,
Forgive when I read the Bible and perhaps act bored by it.
Help me get to… “all”.
