Bible in a Year:
To Titus, my true son in our common faith.
The apostle Paul was a spiritual mentor to Titus, his true son in our common faith (Titus 1:4). In his letter to Titus, Paul offered him helpful instructions and guidelines for his role in the church. He not only taught but modeled how to teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine (2:1), set an example by doing what is good, and show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech (vv. 78). As a result, Titus became his partner, brother, and coworker (2 Corinthians 2:13; 8:23)and a mentor of others.
Many of us have benefited from a mentora teacher, coach, grandparent, youth leader, or pastorwho guided us with their knowledge, wisdom, encouragement, and faith in God. Who could benefit from the spiritual lessons youve learned in your journey with Jesus?
Reflect & Pray
Whos been a spiritual mentor to you? For whom have you been a mentor? And whom might you mentor?
Father, Im thankful for all those who mentored me when I needed them most. Guide me to someone who might need my encouragement today.
Happy FRiday, Mayor ((hugs))
As always, Thanks for keeping us
in the GOOD WORD.
