Striving for God's Best

Read Titus 2:1-8

 

Today as we finish our look at the roles that men and women have in this life.  Please keep in mind that these roles have been laid out in scripture.  God has given to each gender specific rules for our good.  God wants and has our best in mind and when we follow His plan that best is revealed.  If we choose to reject that plan then His best is at best clouded and unable to be attained.  I believe today we are seeing God’s best clouded because we have taken out of context the roles in which He has given.  I am not in anyway referring that we need to go back to days of old.  But what I am suggesting is that we need godly men and women who desire to live by God’s Word to take a stand against the tide that is destroying our homes, churches and ultimately our nation.  We need to get our eyes of ourselves and on to God.  We are so steeply entrenched in the world’s thinking that this life is all about me and me alone.  In light of eternity this life is but a drop in the bucket.  Men, women lets get our eyes off our selfish desire and turn them over to God and allow Him to give us the desires of His heart in order to save our families and churches.

 

Father thank you for the look we have been able to take at the roles you have given to us.  Help us to be willing to focus on you and your Word as we seek to serve you and each other.
