Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 22 Sep 2007

In Titus 3:9, the Word of God says, “But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless. 10Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time. After that, have nothing to do with him. 11You may be sure that such a man is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned.” Today’s word of encouragement is about using our time wisely. Relationships with people are one of the hardest things, because everyone is wired and created so differently. The word in Titus 3:9 says it clearly to us about what to avoid, arguments, quarrels, controversies, things that are unprofitable and useless. Let’s not waste our time fighting over foolish things, when we can focus on the things that God has planned for each of us. On a daily basis, people are often stressed and frustrated largely due to relational issues. Either at home, parents, spouses, children, sibling rivalry, at work, at school, etc. How do we learn techniques to handle relational issues? Simply put, it is a matter of remembering this verse, and putting God first before everything else. May today’s word of encouragement be a daily reminder to us all about how important time is, and not to waste our time focusing on issues that drain us spiritually. Let’s stay the course, focused, set our eyes on our prize, the finish line, on God. © Sept 2007 Shaun Lee
