Adorn the Doctrine

Titus 2.9, 10 Exhort servants to be obedient… shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

The word, “adorn,” caught my attention.

I desire always to be true to God’s Word. I want to never subvert His Ways, change what He’s given, or add to or mishandle His meaning.

But I do want to adorn His Word.

The Hebrew root of the word translated adorn is to put in proper order, i.e. Decorate

1 Peter 3.4b – 5a …even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves…

I am a servant of my Master, the King of Kings, Savior of my soul: Jesus Christ.

May I ever be obedient to His Word; may I ever seek Him, so that I know what obedience looks like; and may I ever adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
