solid

Holy God,

Thank You Father. Thank You for solid sleep. Good, deep, solid sleep.

(8:17 a.m.)

Hmm. Solid. Yes, Father. Thank You for things that are solid. Your Word. Your Truth. Your promises. Thank You that I get to read throughout Your Testaments of so much that is solid.

This morning I stop again to ponder the apostle Paul's words to Titus (2:1-5). Particularly his mention of the teaching to older women.

The Message begins this section by describing “[A God-Filled Life]”. Mm, yes, Father! The way I long to live my days. Filled with You.

“Your job is to speak out on the things that make for solid doctrine... Guide older women into lives of reverence so they end up as neither gossips nor drunks, but models of goodness. By looking at them, the younger women will know how to love their husbands and children, be virtuous and pure, keep a good house, be good wives. We don't want anyone looking down on God's Message because of their behavior” (Titus 2:4-5).
