Titus 2:4-5.....

My absolute favorite book besides my Bible is Created to be His Helpmeet by Debi Pearl. I have went through and read it numerous times. I pulled out my copy yesterday to find some answers and realized I had really paid attention to the first half of the book (on how to make your marriage glorious) and not paid much attention to the second part of the book. When I started putting what I learned in this book to practice our marriage completely changed! It helps alot that I have the greatest husband! It is amazing when you receive Biblical truth with all your heart and believe it and put it in to practice, how it transforms your life! There are fifty million books on marriage, but are they filled with biblical truth or man's truth?

The second part of the books deals with Titus 2:4-5. She takes every part of those verses and breaks them down word for word. Titus 2:4 "That they may teach the young women to be sober...." What does that mean?????? The definition of sober is to do one's duty, be moderate, self-controlled, thoughtful, and to learn to make wise decisions and judgements." WOW! That means all our planning, scheduling, organizing ect.....is actually what we are supposed to be doing? I know from experience once that goes, everything falls apart! My focus this week is to work on being sober. I have my list ready to go, and I will make adjustment accordingly! Lucky for my I have two organization masters at my disposal! Rachel Smith and Jennie Bender are just a click away! What can you do to be sober this week? Isaiah 33:6 "And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure."
