SPIRITUAL
DIARY FOR 10-04-02
My
Worship Time Focus: Titus’ responsibilities
Bible
Reading & Meditation Reference: Titus 1:5
Message of the verse: “5 For this reason I left you in Crete, that
you would set in order what remains and appoint elders in every city as I
directed you,”
Crete
is an island at the mouth of the Aegean Sea, which is actually part of the
Mediterranean Sea. It lies south of
Greece and is hundred by thirty-five miles.
The
Jews who live there and had attended Pentecost described in Acts chapter two
probably founded the Church. Paul left
Titus there to appoint and ordain qualified leaders in the Church. The words “set in order” were used to
describe the setting of a broken bone, so this could lead us to believe that there
was some trouble there. At the end of
the verse Paul told Titus that he had directed him to appoint these elders,
which Paul had the authority to do because he was an apostle.
Spiritual meaning for my life today: Paul was able to trust Titus to do the things
that he had directed him to do. Trust is
an important quality in a person life, and I would hope that I would continue
to strive to be a trustworthy person in my walk with the Lord.
The Word of God has reminded me
to strive to be a trustworthy person.
My
Steps of Faith Today: I need to continue to work on not fearing
situations, and also to keep my mind pure and on the Lord and His Word.
Memory
verse for the week: 2Timithy 4:18
And the Lord will deliver me from
every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!
