DAY 303 – THREE HUNDRED AND THREE DAYS STAYING, SEEKING, AND STUDYING GODS WORD! TITUS: 1:This letter is from Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ. I have been sent to proclaim faith to those God has chosen and to teach them to know the truth that shows them how to live godly lives. 2 This truth gives them confidence that they have eternal life, which God—who does not lie—promised them before the world began. 3 And now at just the right time he has revealed this message, which we announce to everyone. It is by the command of God our Savior that I have been entrusted with this work for him. May God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior give you grace and peace. CHARACTERISTICS OF A LEADER: TITUS: 1: 6 An elder must live a blameless life. He must be faithful to his wife, and his children must be believers who don’t have a reputation for being wild or rebellious. 7 An elder is a manager of God’s household, so he must live a blameless life. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered; he must not be a heavy drinker, violent, or dishonest with money. 8 Rather, he must enjoy having guests in his home, and he must love what is good. He must live wisely and be just. He must live a devout and disciplined life. 9 He must have a strong belief in the trustworthy message he was taught; then he will be able to encourage others with wholesome teaching and show those who oppose it where they are wrong. TITUS 1:15 Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure. But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, because their minds and consciences are corrupted. 16 Such people claim they know God, but they deny him by the way they live. They are detestable and disobedient, worthless for doing anything good. IT IS SO APPROPRIATE THAT THESE SCRIPTURES WOULD FALL ON “HOLLOWEEN” - IT SPEAKS OF BEING HIDDEN IN THE SECRET PLACE OF THE MOST HIGH! PS 31: 20 You hide them in the secret place of your presence from those who scheme against them. You keep them in a shelter, safe from quarrelsome tongues. 21 Thank the Lord! PS 31:23 Love the Lord, all you godly ones! The Lord protects faithful people, but he pays back in full those who act arrogantly.24 Be strong, all who wait with hope for the Lord, and let your heart be courageous. PS 61:1 Listen to my cry for help, O God. Pay attention to my prayer.2 From the ends of the earth, I call to you when I begin to lose heart. Lead me to the rock that is high above me.3 You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.4 I would like to be a guest in your tent forever and to take refuge under the protection of your wings. Selah 5 O God, you have heard my vows. You have given me the inheritance that belongs to those who fear your name.6 Add days upon days to the life of the king. May his years endure throughout every generation.7 May he sit enthroned in the presence of God forever. May mercy and truth protect him.8 Then I will make music to praise your name forever, as I keep my vows day after day. AND HERE IS ALL OF PS 91! PS 91: 1He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.2 I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!”3 For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapperAnd from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover you with His pinions,And under His wings you may seek refuge;His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark. 5 You will not be afraid of the terror by night,Or of the arrow that flies by day;6 Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon.7 A thousand may fall at your sideAnd ten thousand at your right hand, But it shall not approach you.8 You will only look on with your eyesAnd see the recompense of the wicked.9 For you have made the Lord, my refuge,Even the Most High, your dwelling place.10 No evil will befall you,Nor will any plague come near your tent.11 For He will give His angels charge concerning you,To guard you in all your ways.12 They will bear you up in their hands,That you do not strike your foot against a stone.13 You will tread upon the lion and cobra, The young lion and the serpent you will trample down. 14 “Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name.15 “He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;I will be with him in trouble;I will rescue him and honor him. 16 “With a long life I will satisfy himAnd let him see My salvation.” PS 121:I look up toward the mountains. Where can I find help?2 My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.3 He will not let you fall. Your guardian will not fall asleep.4 Indeed, the Guardian of Israel never rests or sleeps.5 The Lord is your guardian. The Lord is the shade over your right hand.6 The sun will not beat down on you during the day, nor will the moon at night.7 The Lord guards you from every evil. He guards your life. 8 The Lord guards you as you come and go, now and forever. AND NOW A WORD TO THE WISE – GODLY WISDOM FROM PROVERBS 31! 10 “Who can find a wife with a strong character? She is worth far more than jewels. 11 Her husband trusts her with all his heart, and he does not lack anything good. 12 She helps him and never harms him all the days of her life. 13 “She seeks out wool and linen with care and works with willing hands. 14 She is like merchant ships. She brings her food from far away. 15 She wakes up while it is still dark and gives food to her family and portions of food to her female slaves. 16 “She picks out a field and buys it. She plants a vineyard from the profits she has earned. 17 She puts on strength like a belt and goes to work with energy. 18 She sees that she is making a good profit. Her lamp burns late at night. 19 “She puts her hands on the distaff, and her fingers hold a spindle. 20 She opens her hands to oppressed people and stretches them out to needy people. 21 She does not fear for her family when it snows because her whole family has a double layer of clothing. 22 She makes quilts for herself. Her clothes are made of linen and purple cloth. 23 “Her husband is known at the city gates when he sits with the leaders of the land. 24 “She makes linen garments and sells them and delivers belts to the merchants. 25 She dresses with strength and nobility, and she smiles at the future. 26 “She speaks with wisdom, and on her tongue there is tender instruction. 27 She keeps a close eye on the conduct of her family, and she does not eat the bread of idleness. 28 Her children and her husband stand up and bless her. In addition, he sings her praises, by saying, 29 ‘Many women have done noble work, but you have surpassed them all!’ 30 “Charm is deceptive, and beauty evaporates, but a woman who has the fear of the Lord should be praised. 31 Reward her for what she has done, and let her achievements praise her at the city gates.”
