It’s a beautiful day to be a neighbor.
Today’s Family Wins devotional reflects on Titus 2:7 and 10 — “In everything set them an example by doing what is good… so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.”
A picture frame looks like an afterthought. It isn’t. A frame can help you see the painting, or it can get in the way. The Christian life works the same way. The Gospel is a breathtaking masterpiece, and the life that frames it either tarnishes that beauty or sets it off. F.B. Meyer put it this way: even the lowliest worker can make the Gospel attractive, the way jewels adorn a beautiful brow. Holy lives display its loveliness. The grace of God has always offered salvation, but in Jesus it was brought right to our doors. So Meyer asks a hard question. Have we sat long enough in the School of Grace to learn how to live — soberly toward ourselves, righteously toward others, and godly toward God? Jesus came to redeem us, purify us, and put us to work doing good. Has that purpose been realized in your life? If not, why not? A bad frame draws attention to itself. A good frame points to what it holds. Integrity, seriousness, and sound speech are the frame that points people to the grace of God, which offers salvation to all people (Titus 2:11).

A godly husband isn’t made in a day. Neither is a godly wife, a godly father, or a godly mother. They’re made in moments like this one — one verse, one choice, one day at a time.
