Well-Ordered Life

 Nonsensical - I like that word! Its root word, nonsense, stirs my memory to countless comical antics of days-gone-by of a man and three boys. All foolishness aside, Scripture instructs Believers: "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing Salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and Godly in the present age." (Titus 2:11-12). In this world, to deny ourselves seems irrational-illogical (nonsensical), however, that's exactly what we are instructed to do in order to live sensibly holy life! Verse 13 tells us why: "Looking for the Blessed Hope and The Appearing of the Glory of our Great God and Savior, Christ Jesus." A well-ordered, sensible, forward-looking life - looking for Jesus' Return. How I loved those days of utter nonsense here yet I care nothing for a spiritual life devoid of direction. Oh, for Grace to deny myself and embrace The Godly well-ordered life! So be it, Lord.
