There is no time to waste, so don’t complicate your lives unnecessarily. Keep it simple. Deal as sparingly as possible with the things the world thrusts on you.
Weariness and exhaustion can do a number on any of us, causing us to lose perspective, driving us to short-term decisions that will hurt our future.
In moments of excitement, we are prone to throw caution to the wind, saying and doing things we would not do in our right senses but we must take heed in the moment of excitement.
Satan’s master weapon of discouragement can lead us to utterances that are contrary to God! and which we may not mean! In the time of discouragement, turn to God immediately for help.
God finds no pleasure with those who are controlled by the flesh. But when the Spirit of Christ empowers your life, you are not dominated by the flesh but by the Spirit.
When you are insulted, be quick to forgive and forget it, for you are virtuous when you overlook an offense
As we get settled into 2024, make up your mind to follow proper order for direction whatever the circumstances. Don’t suffer for disobedience.
As a child of God seeking direction, what has been your approach? Do you hear first from people before seeking God’s views or do you hear first from God before getting people’s confirmation?
The 70/80 years spent on this side of the great divide is too short compared to eternity we are called to in Christ. This gift of life by Christ demands that this side of the divide must not distract or consume us to the extent that we spare little thought for Heaven.
