Stiving to get closer to Jesus every day and sharing what I learn.
“So I will acknowledge in front of My Father in Heaven that person who acknowledges Me in front of others. But I will tell My Father in Heaven that I don’t know the person who tells others that he doesn’t know Me.”
– Matthew 10:32-33 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
Do you want Jesus to brag about you? Brag about Him!
Let your eyes look straight ahead and your sight be focused in front of you. Carefully walk a straight path, and all your ways will be secure. Do not lean to the right or to the left. Walk away from evil.
– Proverbs 4:25-27 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
The enemy will do his very best to keep you distracted from the path God has for you using the things of this world. He’s not a stupid devil…he has had thousands of years of practice enticing the hearts of men away from their Creator. Don’t allow yourself to get side-tracked from the calling of the Lord on your life.
As Scripture says, “Whoever brags must brag about what the Lord has done.”
1 Corinthians 1:31 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
Instead of talking about how great you are or your accomplishments, tell people how great God is and all the things He has done!
By mercy and faithfulness, peace is made with the LORD. By the fear of the LORD, evil is avoided.
– Proverbs 16:6 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
Often times the reason why men can so easily sin with such audacity is that they lack the fear of the Lord. Yes God is Love but he is also the Righteous Judge who will absolutely NOT tolerate sin in His presence. It says in Hebrews 12:29, “For our God is a consuming fire.” You don’t play with fire!
Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? Put your hope in God, for I will again give Him praise who is my help and my God.
– Psalm 43:5 (Bible in Basic English)
We all get sad and depressed from time to time but this verse encourages us to believe that God will give us the help we need as we praise Him.
Godless fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.”
-Psalm 53:1 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
Only a fool actually would open his mouth and say that God doesn’t exist. The book of Romans 1:20 says, “From the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly observed in what He made. As a result, people have no excuse.”
