Titus 2:7 (NKJV) in all things showing 
yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine 
showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility,  

INTRODUCTION

Paul urges Titus to be a good example to 
those around him so that others might see Titus's 
good deeds and imitate him. Paul's life would 
give his words greater impact. If you want 
someone to act a certain way, be sure that you live 
that way yourself. Then you will earn the right 
to be heard, and your life will reinforce what 
you teach. [Life Application SB] 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   A police officer pulled over a 
distinguished-looking woman, the story goes, and asked why she had 
exceeded the speed limit. The old gentleman sitting 
in the passenger seat laughed and said, "Well, 
young man, we were speeding to get to the place 
before we forget where we're going!" Getting where 
we are going is important. 
   Equally important are those who are 
following us because they are on the same journey; 
they just don't realize it yet. Older generations 
may have a hard time keeping up with the 
younger, but let's remember that as long as we are 
still breathing, we are leading the way. Are we 
good examples? 
   While we have all made mistakes and would 
like to turn back the clock to correct some 
things, we know this is not possible. But the 
lessons we have learned from our failures and 
successes can help those following behind. The impact 
we can potentially have on them can mean the 
difference between leaving good memories or letting our 
lessons go to waste. 
   What failure have you experienced that 
you can share to help someone else? [Peace for 
Each Day by Billy Graham]
