July 01, 2016: SOAP #2402: Isaiah 1-3; Titus 3

Scripture: Titus (NIV) 3:1 Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, 2 to slander no-one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility towards all men.
Titus 3:8 …devote themselves to doing what is good.
Titus 3:14 Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good…

Observation: Paul is closing his letter to Titus who has been left in Crete to set things in order in the church. The letter contains instructions for Titus in dealing with several problems. In this closing portion, three times Paul writes Titus that people should do “what is good.” Doing good should be a priority.

Application: Even Jesus “went around doing good,” (Acts 10:38)   Obviously “doing good” should be my priority. I should make a conscious effort to become aware of how I can “do good” today.

Prayer:   Holy Spirit, poke my attention when I am confronted with an opportunity to “do good.” Amen
