Titus

6 Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded

Time is short. Choices narrow. Be alert now.

2 Timothy 2-4

12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

I desire to live for God.
------------------

Ecclesiastes

       9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of desire.
Focus on the task at hand!

3 Do not be hasty to go from his presence.

Stick with the boss!

3 This is an evil in all that is done under the sun: that one thing happens to all.

Don't look for a reward now!

4 If the spirit of the ruler rises against you,
      Do not leave your post;
      For conciliation pacifies great offenses.

Stay faithful, no matter what!

------------------

Prov 31

8 Open your mouth for the speechless,
      In the cause of all who are appointed to die.

Speak.
------------------

Prov 26-30

20 Where there is no wood, the fire goes out;
      And where there is no talebearer, strife ceases.

Stop acknowledging and giving attention to nonsense.

25 He who is of a proud heart stirs up strife,
      But he who trusts in the LORD will be prospered.

I trust you Jesus.
------------------

Prov 21-25

15 By long forbearance a ruler is persuaded,
      And a gentle tongue breaks a bone.

Patient evangelism.
------------------

Proverbs 16-20

2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,
      But the LORD weighs the spirits

Correction has to be external.

32 He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
      And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.


Revival begins with the heart.
