Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in
them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
Take yourself seriously. Examine your life and doctrine
(teaching and beliefs you hold to) and continue in the truth. In doing this you
not only “save” yourself by staying on the straight and narrow and not falling
away; but likewise you become a hedge for those that hear you. Titus 2:6-8
reiterates this principle: “Young men likewise exhort to be sober
minded. In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity,
sincerity, Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of
the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.”
Take some time to sit still and meditate on these verses today.
