June 8, 2022: Day 122 – Titus 1-3 and Psalm 16 and Proverbs 12

The Apostle Paul is writing to Titus whom he calls his “true son”.  He lays out the command that Titus has to establish leaders in all of the churches and the bar which each person must reach in order to be a leader.  I need to warn you that it is a pretty high bar.  You can see the list of qualities in 1:6-9.  I read this list to all of our officers during the training so that they can understand what they are up against and that they would recognize that we are not called based upon our skilles but rather based upon the grace of God.  

For Psalm 16 there is a phrase that struck me and which you find in a popular song that I enjoy.  Look at vs.8: “I have set the Lord always before me.  Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.”
