What Kind of Example?

"In all thing show yourself to be an example of good deeds, with purity in doctrine, dignified ... " 

-- Titus 2:7 / NASB

What kind of example are you? Are you the kind of person whose life serves as a powerful example of decency and morality? Are you a person whose behavior serves as a positive role model for others? Are you the kind of person whose actions, day in and day out, are based upon integrity, fidelity and a love for the Lord?  If so, you are not only blessed by God, you are also a powerful force for good in a world that desperately needs positive influences such as yours.

Phillips Brooks once said, "Be such a man, and live such a life, that if every man were such as you, and every life a life like yours, this earth would be God's Paradise."  And that's sound advice because our families and friends are watching us . . . and so, for that matter, is God.

Lord, make us a worthy example to our family and friends.  And let our words and our actions show people how our lives have been changed by You.  We will praise You, Father, by following in the footsteps of Your Son.  Let others see Him through us.
