Titus 2:11-14 (MSG) God's readiness to give and forgive is now public. Salvation's available for everyone! We're being shown how to turn our backs on a godless, indulgent life, and how to take on a God-filled, God-honoring life. This new life is starting right now, and is whetting our appetites for the glorious day when our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, appears. He offered himself as a sacrifice to free us from a dark, rebellious life into this good, pure life, making us a people he can be proud of, energetic in goodness.
This life is simply an appetizer to whet our appetite for an eternity with God. The problem many of us experience is we are too busy to sit down to the table to taste what He has to offer. He wants us to order the sampler platter and savor the delightful flavor combinations a relationship with Him can bring to this life. Instead, we often want to live our lives like a cocktail party with served hors d'oeuvres. We want God to come to us with what He has to offer and have the ability to say, “No, thank you,” if we don’t like the looks of it. Begin tasting God’s bounty! Get into His Word and learn more of Him…taste and see that He is good!
Father, I’ve tasted enough of what You have to offer to know that I want more! I long for more of You in this life and eagerly anticipate an eternity with You! MARANATHA! I love You! Amen!
