“DO GOOD!”
Titus 3:8
“This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.”
Years ago when I served on the Idaho Law Enforcement Planning Commission, we required each agency that received financial assistance to submit a report on how the grant money was spent and the result. A report we received from a small town Chief of Police was very brief and to the point: “Hired one man and he done good.”
We had a good laugh at the brevity of the Chief's report and then agreed that while it was brief and humorous, it conveyed more than many reports that droned on page after page but revealed little vital information.
Paul was very direct in his instructions to Titus, his young student in the Faith. Titus was instructed to affirm constantly and to be consistent in his ministry. The thing that he was to stress was the necessity of good works.
Works do not bring about salvation, but they do reveal what are the important things in our ministry. How would others describe your service to the Lord? Could you be described as just talking the talk or walking the walk? Are you doing good works or simply talking about what is good. DO GOOD!
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
