Friday – November 26th – Titus 2:9-10 -----
1:9) Exhort bondservants to be obedient to their own masters, to be well pleasing in all things, not answering back,
10) not pilfering, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
The Daily Walk Bible inspirational thought for today:
LEGALISM IS BOUND TO PRODUCE PRIDE OF HEART.*
Hello Friday! What a great day to celebrate being part of the Kingdom of Heaven. I am excited that as I woke this morning, I could rest on the assurance that I am a beloved child of God. My first breath came as a reminder that God provides the air in my lungs and the beat in my heart. My first step from bed stands as a reminder that my path today is to focus on being a positive representative of Jesus. My first words serve as a reminder that all that I say must be grounded in love and grace. My first interaction with another human being assures me that God will place people on my path that I will have the opportunity to share my faith. Wow what a great day! How does your day start?
In our pick verses for today, Paul continues his teaching on right living and right attitude by believers within the church family. In Paul’s day and within the Roman culture, slavery was a common and accepted practice. Within this cultural setting Paul advised slaves and masters to be loving and responsible in their conduct. This is a radical departure from the typical and traditional relationship which existed outside the Jesus movement. These basic standards of mutual respect set by Paul can help any employee/employer relationship. Employees should always do their best and be trustworthy, not just when the employer is watching. Employers should always show respect and humility to the employees. Where Christians are involved work situations should operate in peace and never be hostile or unhealthy.
Blessings
