Scripture:
Titus 2: 14 & 15 "who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds. These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you"
Observation:
God had given us the cross and guided us from the darkness and sanctified us from all the ungodliness. Paul writes to Titus, that we are shown by God to live a righteous life and the directions of righteous life in God's words. We should take charge of our life a life God has given by blood of his sacrifice to live the direction and define our life which God our Savior has planned for us. We may not easily get destroyed or distracted by community of non-believer but to build relationship within the community of God's servant to practice and account for our direction. God didn't sacrifice for the sake of us having good job to great job, or from poor to riches. He sacrificed himself so that we may be free from sins, and redeem our self to be the proud individuals which God has created us to be.
Application:
Stop isolating myself from the community. Take charge of the life which God has given. Work to build communion within my community and share through community and be accountable with each other.
When we miss the bus to get to work on time, the bus is not going to be kind enough to see you running to catch the bus and stop and wait for you, the bus will continue on with its route, as there are much more responsibility than me. However, God take all of us individuals with great responsibility and he will not let us miss any bus or be late for anything, he will make sure we are on time. He has given us chance to hop on his bus, and he waited patiently for us to arrive to hop on, once we were on the bus he was wise and kind enough to give us free pass to get on the bus. Be responsible for my actions and life, the redirect my life to be for the purpose of God. I want to work for God and I want to be the example to others to be the kind and wise bus driver who will be patient and wait for all individuals to hop on the bus.
Prayer:
Father God, give me the courage to be accountable with my community. Find a community of your servants so that we may share and encourage one another to build relationship and grow within your words. Father I pray for BUILD, Father let our group be a group with the clear direction of your goals and wisdom. Father God, you sacrifice yourself to redeem me from the darkness, and bring me near to light. Father continue to work your spirits within to grow me and educate me to be faithful and righteous servant of your words. Father help me to prioritize you in my life. Father your unconditional love and blessing are bountiful and yet we take so much fro granted. Father thank you for the cross and thank you for your continuous guidance and love. In your precious name amen.
