Titus 2:11-13 – “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people. ¹² It trains us to reject godless ways and worldly desires and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, ¹³ as we wait for the happy fulfillment of our hope in the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.”

I encourage you to be confident that God’s love for you never fails. A new day is upon us, literal in the natural and equally literal in the spirit realm. Doors, crossroads, obstacles, and opportunities are present and about to become more prevalent.  That means that right choices must be made.

• Right choices require right relationships.
• Right relationships require right investments.
• Investment of ourselves into Jesus, His purposes, and others is of supreme importance.

As I read, prayed, and mused on the Word, the Psalms, I shouted to my heart, “Trust Him!”   The prayer was a constant cry for reception and preservation. It was a revelation that this life was temporary, and focusing on the wrong things destroys faith and leads to deception. Right focus puts it all in perspective, and we see eternity, and that provides hope!

In Titus 2:11-12, the apostle Paul unveils an incredible revelation: Grace is a Teacher!  Grace is a teacher, not just an experience of unmerited favor!  A teacher requires more than just getting the book being studied but to learn the principles and precepts contained therein.  We must learn to implement the principles and precepts.

God’s Grace introduces us to God, brings us salvation, and guides us in right living.  But it requires our participation.  Actions confirm the impact and presence of Grace. It gives us the information needed and equips us to implement those truths, transforming them into right actions (lifestyles). Our discipline and discipleship release the Power of a Grace Life that not only guides and guards us but becomes a testimony that draws others to Christ. It is not our words but our lives that are our true witness.

People may not remember or be significantly impacted by our words, but they will long remember our lives!  What we do speaks of who we are in a greater depth than our words. It’s easy to hide behind words but not actions. The adage, “The proof is in the pudding,” is applicable.   Saying, “I love you, or I love God, is proven by our actions.” I’m not promoting legalism or earning God’s favor but manifesting our hearts by our lives! God sees the heart!

Grace brings us into His presence, equips us to remain faithful, and guards us. Rest confidently, knowing He never abandons us.  A Grace-filled life is a life of peace, filled with God’s power and overflowing with love!

Let Grace Teach You Who He is and His Purposes, Precepts, and Principles to be applied in your life of present victory!
