In His Presence

Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

Philippians 4:9

Reading:

Philippians 4:1-14

How should I go about being “of the same mind in the Lord” with So-and-So?

Is rejoicing something that can be turned on and turned off?

Am I known for balance and self-discipline?

What place does thankful prayer have in me?

What do I do with thoughts that fail the test of verse 8?

Should others know that I have “the peace of God” and “the God of peace”?

How do I sharpen my awareness of and my concern for the needs of others?

Am I supposed to let others know of my needs?

Is the opposite of contentment striving to change my state or improve my situation?

[The Scriptures say in Philippians 4:1 -- Stand fast in the Lord]

Grace Appeared

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men.

Titus 2:11

Reading:

Titus 2

What I just said — does it fit sound doctrine?

What do I know about being “sound in faith”?

What I just did — does it fit holiness?

Does my life increase respect for God’s Word?

If I were to go to someone to exhort him to be sober minded, what would I tell him?

And how would I be a pattern of it?

My work ethic — how has it beautified the doctrine of God?

What zeal for good works has redemption effected in me?

If I am not zealous of good works, am I God’s, redeemed and purified?

[The Scriptures say in Titus 2:12 -- Live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world]
