Saturday – November 27th – Titus 2:11-12     -----     
 
2:11) For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 
12) teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, 
 
The Daily Walk Bible Inspirational thought for today:
      WHY DO WE SPEND SO MUCH TIME FOCUSING ON THE CONCERNS OF THE WORLD WE’LL SOON LEAVE AND SO LITTLE TIME ON THE ETERNITY WE’RE HEADED FOR?*
 
 
     Good Saturday to you on this first weekend of Advent. Yes, we have officially begun the countdown to Christmas. Our Advent series – “Expect The Unexpected” focuses on the way God moves to accomplish His perfect plans that seem out of the ordinary to us human beings. Our inspirational thought for today speaks into the reason for so many unexpected movements by God. We tend to overly focus on the here and now while God is all about what is to come. As we begin this time of preparation may we spend more of our focus on the beauty of the promise of eternity in the presence of God.
 
    In our pick verse today, Paul opens a new topic in his letter to Titus. The next five verses will focus on God’s grace experienced in and through our salvation. God’s goodness is the motive for the Christian conduct Paul has described in verses 1-10. Our salvation is the free gift of a loving God who gives to us, who are undeserving, out of His love and grace. In and through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus the opportunity for eternal life is made available to all people. Sadly though, not everyone will choose to accept what God has to offer. Our salvation brings with it righteous demands of action and accountability on our part. Believers are to renounce worldly desires and to live holy lives. Holiness is to be experienced and lived out in this present age while we wait for our glorious age in Heaven.

Blessings
