"I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." (1 Tim 2:1-4 KJV) What kind of life are do we lead? Is it acceptable to God? What are the earmarks of our lives? Are they prayer, supplications and intercessions and the giving of thanks? Most Importantly, are we following after godliness and HONESTY? This is the life that is acceptable to God. We deceive only ourselves if our lives are anything different.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for a standard of godliness and honesty! May they forever be the earmarks of our lives. Amen!
1 Tim 2:1-4. . . . Here are my directions: Pray much for others; plead for God's mercy upon them; give thanks for all he is going to do for them. Pray in this way for kings and all others who are in authority over us, or are in places of high responsibility, so that we can live in peace and quietness, spending our time in godly living and thinking much about the Lord. This is good and pleases God our Savior, for he longs for all to be saved and to understand this truth: TLB
