Wednesday... Yes, it has been revealed!


Titus 2:11 (NLT), "For the grace of God has been revealed, binging salvation to all people."

Wednesday... Yes, it has been revealed!

In the coffee shop, Aspire, where I usually go to write, it has changed. Last week it was celebrating Halloween now it has changed to Christmas. And that is a big change.

Now Paul in his letter to Titus tells him and us, he reveals another change. And it is a great reveal. And we too need to catch the reveal. In so many ways we haven't yet found this to be true, even in the church, in our families and in our lives but it is true.


Here is what Paul said to Titus and to us and for him and us to tell those around him and us. Titus 2:11 (NLT) says, "For the grace of God has been revealed, binging salvation to all people." The Amplified Bible says, "For the [remarkable, undeserved] grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men." The NIRV, "God's grace has now appeared. By his grace, God offers to save all people." Again, "By his grace, God offers to save all people." The Message, verse 11, "God's readiness to give and forgive is now public."

Now Paul doesn't say, this is true just to the church of Crete. Paul in 1:5 (NIRV) says to Titus, "I left you on the island of Crete. I did this because there were some things that hadn't been finished." And I think that is true of us. In verse 4b, Paul says, "May God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior give you grace and peace." And we also need that today in our churches, in our homes, and in our lives.

Notice something. Pauls says, "For the grace of God has been revealed, binging salvation to all people." It says to all people. All people. God is not prejudice. He does not distinguish any race, any gender and age, any one. He brings grace and salvation to all people, even your husband or wife, or that person you are not wanting to give grace and forgive.

Now when we have been given grace and forgiveness we then will give grace and forgiveness and giving it shows we have accepted it from God. "For the grace of God has been revealed, binging salvation to all people." To all people, to all people, to all people. And that is a great reveal, isn't it? We too can have grace from God which brings salvation to us personally. Just ask him for it. Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Friday... We have this hope of expectancy.

Psalm 5:3 (NLT), "Listen to my voice in the morning Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly." Friday... We have this hope of expectancy. Now David found a great way to start his day. He says in Psalm 5:1-3 (NLT), "O LORD, hear me as I pray." And that is a great place to start. It really is. Morning sunrise He goes on, "Listen to my cry for help, my King, my God, for I pray to no one but you." And that is so important. We don't try to pump ourselves up by ourself. No, we pray to no one but you, God, my LORD, my King. Now this relationship with God is so, so very important. And then David says, "Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD. Each morning I bring my requests to you" And that is so great. And then he says, "and wait expectantly." Yes, we have this hope of expectancy. We are experienced. That is what a relationship with God and a moment by moment connection does. It makes a difference in our daily wa...

Friday... Yes, we can know this to be true.

Psalm 12:6 (NLT), "The Lord's promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over." Friday... Yes, we can know this to be true. Maybe this is what you want to say in this day in which we live. Psalm 12:1-2 (MSG) says, "Quick, I need your helping hand! The last decent person just went down, all the friends I depend on gone. Everyone talks in lie language; lies slide off their oily lips. They doubletalk with forked tongues." Do you ever feel that way?" Have you found that to be true? Well David the writer of this Psalm continues and says in verse 6 something to encourage us, to lift us up, to give us hope. Psalm 12:6 (NLT) says, "The Lord's promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over." The Message Paraphrase says verses 6-8 this way, "God's words are pure words, pure silver words refined seven times in the fires of his word-kiln, pure on earth as well as in heaven, God, keep ...

Friday... So what is it that you really fear?

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT), "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Friday... So what is it that you really fear? Yes, fear holds us back. It seems to take hold of us so that we can't even really enjoy living. Now I have found that one of the best ways to handle fear is to solve the problem of what we fear. Let's say that death is what we really fear. Everyday we wake up afraid to get up because we are afraid to do anything because we are afraid to die. And that is so understandable. Now I have found the solution to fearing death. I have through faith taken care of my fear to die. 1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT) says, "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Verse 22 (CEV) says, "Adam brought death to all of us, and Christ will bring life to all of us." Death was not God's plan. Adam was created for an eternal life but he and his partner, Eve blew it and sin a...
