From the reading today in Titus 2:11-12
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age…
When I ponder the instruction to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world, I immediately think about time. How am I spending my time? Am I squandering it on empty and vain pursuits or am I using it to advance God’s kingdom within my family and the world around me?
Father, thank You for the git of time. Help me to think about how I am using this gift. I don’t want to waste it. Please give me the grace and wisdom to live soberly, righteously, and godly until You call me home. Amen.
