Daily Devotional - Titus 2:11-12

Titus 2:11-12 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,

My father use to tell us that life is choice driven. That in all things we encounter in life, we make the decision on how we are going to respond. Paul teaches that the grace of God, which brings salvation, gives us the power to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts. This means we have to choose to live soberly, righteously, and godly. The greatest part about this choice is we have been given the power to overcome all temptations because of God's grace. I pray each of us looks for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed. I pray we remain zealous in our desire to make righteous choices, so our God is glorified in all we do. In the gracious name of Jesus, I pray, amen. (James Thomas)
