Day 11

Read Titus 1:2

This truth gives them confidence that they have eternal life, which God—who does not lie—promised them before the world began.

We’ve all experienced broken promises in our relationships and these experiences tend to sow seeds of distrust and cynicism. It is these kinds of earthly relationships that make it hard for us to trust God and follow Him on a daily basis through the good and bad times. Can we really trust Him? Paul comforts and reminds Titus, and us, in this verse that God’s promises always come to fruition; specifically His promise of eternal life to those who follow and trust Him. God’s promises have been true from “before the ages began” and His faithfulness will continue for all generations. As your trust in Him builds, you will follow Him without hesitation and He will lead you to the living water and abundant life that will sustain you through all circumstances

 Ask God to teach you to trust Him and show you His faithfulness.

Day 24

Read Galatians 2:11

“When Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong.”

It may be uncomfortable, but we have a responsibility to our fellow believers to confront them in their sin. Paul set the example for us when he went directly to Peter, he didn’t dance around the issue or talk behind his back, instead he was direct and spoke face to face. Consider how thankful we ought to be for Christ-following friends who have loved us enough to challenge us to get right with God! 

Ask God for the fortitude to accept loving reproof from other Jesus followers, and the humble courageousness to confront others in their sin.
