Titus 1:1 (NIV)
1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God’s elect and the knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness—
The knowledge of the truth leads to godliness. I have been “doing” a lot lately. Do you know what I mean? I have been busy for God and have felt, well… a little tired. That tiredness actually produces (in me) more distance than closeness. It’s not like I am not close to God, or have become immoral, but I am not as close as I want to be, mainly because I am tired. So when I read this passage this morning it was as if I was reproved by the Spirit who was saying, slow down, and just “be” in me! It isn’t how much you do that leads to godliness, it is sitting at the feet of Jesus and just being with Him, because that knowledge, that time with God will lead to the godliness (think beyond morality), that I desperately want.
Help me to slow down Lord! I want to get things done for you, but I see it is a trap to get me away from you. Jesus, can you help me? It seems impossible, but I know that you can. I love you Lord.
