Example of Doing What is Good
Example of Doing What is Good
Titus 2:6-8
““Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. In everything, set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.” Titus 2:6-8 NIV
The world system seems to reward high-achievers regardless of how they get their results - at least in the short run.
This has made a lot of people compromise in their values or sacrifice their core values in pursuit of highly rewarded results.
This mentality of “the end justify the means” is short sighted to say the least. The “end” such people are looking at is their immediate results, their now, or with posterity in focus - their own lifetime.
This reminds me of king Hezekiah in 2 Kings 20:
Quick backstory - This king was sick to the point of death and God sent his prophet to him that he needed to get his house in order, that the sickness is unto death. The king would not accept this verdict - he turned to God in prayer that he may not die and God answered him and added more years to his life.
Please take some time to read the whole chapter.
Later on, the king sinned (pride was found in him - 2 Chronicles 32:24-26) and God’s judgment was pronounced on him but that it will not happen during his lifetime but during his children’s reign. (Read vs. 16-18). But here was the king’s response:
““The word of the Lord you have spoken is good,” Hezekiah replied. For he thought, “Will there not be peace and security in my lifetime?”” 2 Kings 20:19 NIV
A lot of people go about their lives and make decisions today with no consideration of how it may affect their children or the next generation. So far they can achieve their own goals - they care less what the consequences of their actions or inactions today could be on the next generation.
I want to challenge you today to always measure every of your actions and decisions by how it will affect your children and their children.
In everything, set … an example by doing what is good.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for reminding us that the consequences of our actions and decisions today affect generations to come. Daddy, we pray - help us to be more intentional about being good for posterity sake. In Jesus name Amen! Amen!! Amen!!!
