EAGER

TODAY'S READING: Amos 7-9; Ps. 104; Titus 2

Scripture

Titus 2:11-14 [11] For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. [12] It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, [13] while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, [14] who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

Observation

For the grace of God has appeared
By the grace of God ... make me eager to do what is good

Application

teach me to say "NO" to ungodliness, and worldly passions
teach me to live: self-controlled, upright and godly

Prayer

Father,
Two days running, your Word has spoken to me about self-control.
Work a work in me, that I cannot work out by myself.
By your grace, my salvation, make me eager, continually.
