Jesus Sustains Me

This year's Bible Reading Plan is based on my Word of the Year: Resilience.

This is a step in the Path of Holy Grit—a journey shaped by endurance, faithfulness, and grace.

This is not just a reading rhythm. It is a spiritual stance.
You do not break. You bend. You build.
Stay grounded. Stay gritty.
You are Resilient on Purpose.

Pauline Epistle Rememberminder: Titus

---

People may not read a Bible, but they are reading you. Let what you believe show up in how you live.

Titus 2:7 (CEB):

“Set an example of good works in every way. Your teaching should show integrity, seriousness…” 

Pauline Epistle Rememberminder: 2 Timothy

---

Even if you feel tired or unnoticed—your faith is still working. Stay faithful. Finish well.

2 Timothy 4:7 (MEV):

“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” 

Affirmations about Good Christian Conduct (Titus)

---

Show What You Believe

Key Thought: Godly living makes the Gospel attractive to others.

In the book of Titus, Paul teaches that sound doctrine must be matched by sound living. Believers are called to live in a way that reflects spiritual maturity, self-control, and integrity. Our behavior either confirms or contradicts the message we preach. Whether in leadership, work, family, or community, our conduct is a visible witness. Christian character is not just what we say—it is how we live when no one is watching.

 

Affirmations:

1.   I submit to authority as a sign of trust in God’s order.

2.   I do good deeds that reflect the grace I have received.

3.   I speak truth with kindness and avoid slander.

4.   I am peaceable and gracious in all situations.

5.   I work with excellence as unto the Lord.

6.   I pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace in every setting.

7.   I reject divisive conversations and choose unity.

8.   I model good behavior for others to follow.

9.   I am patient and steady in every season of life.

10.                I make the Gospel attractive by the way I live and love.

 

Affirmations about Good Christian Conduct (2 Timothy)

---

Live What You Believe

Key Thought: My conduct confirms the faith I profess.

In 2 Timothy, Paul urges believers to hold fast to sound doctrine and display Christlike behavior, even in difficult times. Conduct is not separate from faith—it is how faith is seen. Whether we are facing opposition, teaching others, or enduring hardship, our lives must reflect patience, kindness, peace, and integrity. Good Christian conduct is not about rules; it is about becoming more like Jesus in both public and private life.

 

Affirmations:

1.   I submit to godly authority and walk in obedience.

2.   I do good deeds that reflect God’s grace in me.

3.   I choose peace over conflict and love over strife.

4.   I speak with care and refuse to slander anyone.

5.   I am a faithful and diligent worker in every assignment.

6.   I pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace.

7.   I avoid pointless arguments that stir up division.

8.   I teach others with clarity, patience, and truth.

9.   I remain kind and gentle, even when challenged.

10.                I live with consistency and character, proving my faith by how I live.

 

Finish Faithfully (2 Timothy)

---

Paul is at the end of his life. And what does he do?

He writes to the next generation.

He charges Timothy to keep preaching. Keep standing. Keep going.

Paul is not reflecting on his accolades. He is reflecting on his faithfulness.

This book reminds us that we all pass the baton—whether we realize it or not.

What are you depositing in the lives of those coming behind you?

Your words matter. Your walk matters. Your yes matters.

Finish well. And pass it on.

Pauline Epistle Rememberminder: Jesus Is the Model for Good Works in Titus

---

Your life preaches. Let your words and actions reflect the goodness of the One who saved you.

Titus 2:14 (MEV):

“He gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us… and purify for Himself a special people, zealous for good works.” 

Pauline Epistle Rememberminder: Jesus Is the Legacy in 2 Timothy

---

Faithfulness is not always loud. But it echoes. Keep showing up with Jesus at the center. That is the legacy.

2 Timothy 4:7 (CEB):

“I have fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith.”

Faith in Action (Titus)

---

Titus was left to bring order to a young, messy church—and Paul gave him one core instruction: teach people how to live what they believe.

Because faith is not just a confession—it is a calling.

Sound doctrine and sound behavior go hand in hand.

This book challenges us to let grace be our teacher—not just saving us, but shaping us.

You do not have to be perfect.

But your life should point to the One who is. 

Five Things I Learned about Christian Pursuits

---

1 Timothy reminded me that not everything is worth chasing. Paul gave Timothy—and all of us—a list of what to run after: righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, and gentleness. These are not easy or flashy pursuits. They are quiet, steady, and deeply spiritual. They require discipline, surrender, and the willingness to grow even when no one is watching. These pursuits shape character and build legacy. Paul was clear—what I pursue reveals what I value. Chasing the right things puts me in position to lead well, live well, and finish strong in faith.

Five Things I Learned from the Book of 1 TIMOTHY

---

1 Timothy felt like spiritual mentorship in letter form. Paul was pouring into Timothy the way I imagine a seasoned leader pours into the next generation—with honesty, urgency, and love. What stood out most was his insistence on sound doctrine. Paul was not playing about the truth—he knew how quickly things could spiral without a strong foundation. He also emphasized prayer as a priority, and that convicted me. Prayer is not a side note—it is the starting point for everything. I was also struck by how much weight Paul placed on godly leadership. It was not just about gifting—it was about character. And when he told Timothy to set an example even though he was young, I felt that. Sometimes we disqualify ourselves because of our age or season, but Paul reminded us that faithfulness speaks louder than years. Training in godliness takes work, but Paul made it clear: it is worth it.

Affirmations from the Book of TITUS

"Grace That Teaches Me to Live Right"

Key Thought: God’s grace empowers godly living, spiritual maturity, and sound doctrine.

Titus was clear, direct, and deeply grounding. These affirmations reminded me that grace does not just save me—it shapes me. It teaches me how to live right. How to lead with love. How to walk with integrity. This book challenged me to examine not just what I believe, but how I live that belief out loud. These affirmations helped me see that godliness is not stiff or self-righteous—it is Spirit-formed, grace-driven, and intentionally practiced. I am being trained by grace to say no to things that pull me off course, and yes to the life God is calling me to. I saw the value of peace, the strength in humility, and the fruitfulness that comes from a life surrendered to what is good. Titus reminded me that doctrine and discipline are not enemies—they are partners. Grace equips me not just to believe the Gospel, but to become a walking witness of it.

 

Affirmations

1. I am saved by grace and called to live a godly life.
2. I reflect Christ in how I live, lead, and love.
3. I am being trained by grace to say “no” to ungodliness.
4. I show integrity, dignity, and sound speech in all I do.
5. I live in a way that makes the Gospel attractive to others.
6. I am zealous for good works and faithful in service.
7. I submit to authority with a spirit of humility and honor.
8. I avoid foolish arguments and choose wisdom and peace.
9. I am renewed by the Holy Spirit daily.
