Do What is Good

In the small book of Titus, there is much wisdom and direction.

This little phrase
"do what is good"

is used

SIX

times.

His meaning 
was clear
as he spoke to each group:

Older men - be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled,
sound in faith, in love and in endurance.

Older women - be reverent in their living, not slanderers or addicted to much wine,
to teach what is good, train the younger women.

Younger women - love their husbands and children, be self-controlled, be pure, 
busy at home,
be kind, 
be subject to their husbands.

Younger men - be self-controlled

Slaves - be subject to their masters in everything.

To all men - say no to ungodliness and worldly passions,
live self-controlled, upright and godly lives.



Today, in my life, "do what is good" looks like this:


Cooking
Cleaning
Teaching
Banking
Budgeting
Washing
Wiping
Sweeping
Loving
Hugging

And I will do my best to do them all 
without
arguing or complaining,
as the Good Book 
says.

Today I will 
"Do What is Good".


How about you?
