"God Calls Us To Pray ... "

God calls us to pray, "Search me, O God ... Cleanse me from every sin ... ."

This thought is taken from

Titus 1:1-2:10

How are we to live? We are not to be "empty talkers", people who "profess to know God" and "deny Him by their deeds" (1:10,16). We must give no one the opportunity to "speak evil of God's Word." We must be "a model of good deeds", showing "the beauty of the teachings about God our Saviour in everything we do" (2:5,7,10). When we live in a Christlike way, "those who oppose" Christ and His Gospel will be "put to shame, having nothing evil to say of us" (2:8). This is how we are to live. How do we live? This is a question for all of us. It is a question which will make us feel uncomfortable. We don't find it easy to look closely at the way we live our lives. We won't get away with glossing over things. God calls us to pray, "Search me, O God...Cleanse me from every sin..." (Psalm 139:23-24; Mission Praise, 587).
