However, don’t be happy that evil spirits obey you. Be happy that your names are written in heaven.

– Luke 10:20 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))

Never boast about the abilities that God gave you in the first place but rather be thankful that He chose to save you.  He could have passed you over but He didn’t.

…but if anyone has a desire to become great among you, let him be your servant;

God will only raise you up when you lower yourself.

Little children, we must stop expressing love merely by our words and manner of speech; we must love also in action and in truth.

Just saying “I love you” isn’t enough if you don’t back it up with your actions.

“But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall enter the ark– you and your sons and your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.”

– Genesis 6:18 (New American Standard Bible (©1995))

Notice that the covenant or agreement was between God and Noah.  As a result not only was Noah saved but his whole family was saved all because of Noah’s faith.  God loves to save entire families…don’t give up on them coming to the Lord one day!

The Lord is near the broken-hearted; He is the Saviour of those whose spirits are crushed down.

When we go through an emotionally difficult time know that God is right there with you.  He was as human as you and I and understands what we go through.  Call on Him and He will carry you through the rough times.

However, the Lord stood by me and gave me strength so that I could finish spreading the Good News for all the nations to hear. I was snatched out of a lion’s mouth.

Don’t fear to spread the gospel when Jesus is at your side!  He will protect you!

But God has given us the revelation of these things through his Spirit, for the Spirit makes search into all things, even the deep things of God.

– 1 Corinthians 2:10 (Bible in Basic English)

The Holy Spirit whom Jesus left to us in His place on earth, is the key to finding out all you need to know about and from God.  And since He is God Himself, He knows everything.  Don’t ignore Him!  He’s our most valuable resource!
