SPIRITUAL
DIARY FOR 10-08-02
My
Worship Time Focus: Elder’s qualifications continued
Bible
Reading & Meditation Reference: Titus 1:8
Message of the verse: “8 but hospitable, loving what is good,
sensible, just, devout, self-controlled,” (NAS95) “He must enjoy having guests in his home and
must love all that is good. He must live
wisely and be fair. He must live a
devout and disciplined life.” (NLT)
The
NLT version brings to light what this verse is all about in a way that is more
understandable to me. The elder must
enjoy having guest in his home, and he must love and surround himself with
things that are good, like good books, good music, and other things that are
good for himself and his family. He must
live a wise life and be fair to all he comes in contact with. His life must be devout and disciplined, as
he stays close with the Lord and His Word for direction in living this kind of
life.
Spiritual meaning for my life today: I need to accomplish some of these things
in my walk with the Lord each and every day.
To be disciplined and to surround myself with good things is also
something I need to be better at.
The Word of God has showed me
conviction and direction today.
My
Steps of Faith Today: The words in Micah 6:8 fit well with this verse as
to get direction in my life so that I can serve the Lord better. I do not want to live in fear.
Memory verse for the week: Micah 6:8
He has shown you, O man, what is
good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justly, to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with your God?
