Clothe Yourself in Truth

“Exhort bondservants to be obedient to their own masters, to be well pleasing in all things, not answering back, not pilfering, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.” TITUS 2:9-10

 

PONDER THIS

We might use the word becoming to mean, “to make beautiful.” For example, if a lady buys a new dress and her husband says, “That is becoming on you,” what he means is, “That is very beautiful. That looks good on you.” That is what Paul is talking about in this passage: He’s saying to make truth beautiful. Verse 10 says: “They may adorn the doctrine of God.” Adornment is what makes something beautiful. We need to put on the cosmetics of the Word of God. Adorn yourself with the truth of God.

Some people use the Bible as a club rather than as a sword, but this is not how it is meant to be used. It is a beautiful gift that shows us who God is and how He has designed us to live. It is something that shows us who we really are and who we are made to be as God’s people. It is a beautiful gift we are to share with others. Have you adorned your life in this way? Does God’s Word form your life, or do your desires form your life? To be adorned with the Word of God is becoming of God’s people.

What is beautiful and valuable about Scripture? How has that been made evident in your life?

What are some things that need to change for you to adorn your life with God’s Word?

PRACTICE THIS

Pray and ask God for help to adorn yourself with His truth, and work on the things that need to change in your life for that to happen.
