Good morning. With so much going on in the world and in our lives it’s easy to lose focus on what’s important and that’s God. We have to guard our hearts and minds to ensure nothing or no one takes the place of God in our lives. We must examine ourselves daily. We must examine our friendships daily. We must examine our activities daily and if anything is keeping us away from our relationship with the Lord we need to let it go. God has to come first.

1 John 5:21
Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts.

Good morning. God’s grace is not a license for us to sin. Now that we are in Christ we are new creatures. Sin should not appeal to us anymore. We should hate the very appearance of evil. Our very will should be to do the will of Christ. We are no longer our own. Our lives are renewed in Christ Jesus and we should behave as such.

Romans 6:1-3
Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace? Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death?

Good morning. Do we show people mercy or are we hard on everyone? Have we forgotten we were not always saved? Do we remember when people prayed for us and we still were hell-raisers and couldn’t no one tell us anything, because we knew everything? Yet, God kept us alive long enough to make an intelligent decision to serve him. He showed us love, compassion and mercy despite of who we were and how we acted. The same love, compassion and mercy that God has shown us we need to show others.

James 2:13
There will be no mercy for those who have not shown mercy to others. But if you have been merciful, God will be merciful when he judges you.

Good morning. We must come to Christ in faith and believe he is the one sent from heaven. Some people can see what’s going on in the world and still don’t believe in Christ. We serve the only true and living God; he’s our everything. We don’t have to lack anything because everything we need is found in him. Today is a good day to become relational with Christ. Today is a good day to hunger and thirst after righteousness. Come to Jesus while you still have the chance.

John 6:35-37
Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But you haven’t believed in me even though you have seen me. However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them.

Good morning. God is giving us a choice today; we can serve him and be blessed or serve other gods and be cursed. It’s a simple choice yet so many people have a hard time deciding what it is they want to do. If you die before making the right choice you’ve condemned yourself to hell because not choosing God is choosing Satan. No one can make this choice for you; they can pray for you but you have to make the decision. The clock is ticking don’t let time run out.

Deuteronomy 11:26-28
“Look, today I am giving you the choice between a blessing and a curse! You will be blessed if you obey the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you today. But you will be cursed if you reject the commands of the LORD your God and turn away from him and worship gods you have not known before.

Good morning. When we fail to discipline our children we are asking for trouble. The Lord disciplines us because he loves us and he knows a little discipline will get us back in line where we belong and save our souls. It’s not cute to have an unruly, undisciplined child, for this child will bring shame upon you.

Proverbs 29:15
To discipline a child produces wisdom, but a mother is disgraced by an undisciplined child.

Good morning. The Lord loves you. It’s natural to want love from family members especially from our parents. The hard truth is some people don’t get that. Nevertheless, the Lord loves us and won’t leave us even if our parents decide that loving us and staying with us is too much.

Psalms 27:10
Even if my father and mother abandon me, the LORD will hold me close.

Good morning. We all need a spirit of discernment. People may seem nice and pleasant but we need to be able to discern the intent of their hearts. Even if we’re fooled by people God has a way of exposing what’s really in a person. The Bible declares if we lack wisdom we can ask for it. We can also ask for a spirit of discernment to know who’s really for us and who’s against us.

Proverbs 26:24-26
People may cover their hatred with pleasant words, but they’re deceiving you. They pretend to be kind, but don’t believe them. Their hearts are full of many evils. While their hatred may be concealed by trickery, their wrongdoing will be exposed in public.

Good morning. No matter what’s going on in our lives we are to trust God at all times. All means all; not some of the time, not when things aren’t really bad, but all the time. We may not know how God is going to work things out but we do know he got us and that he will never leave us nor forsake us. So we can cast all our cares on him. We can pour out our hearts to him. For he will take care of all that’s concerning us.

Psalms 62:8
O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge.

Good morning. We must use wisdom in every situation. When we speak we must be mindful who is around us, who we’re speaking to and the spiritual state of that person. When we do things we must be mindful of the same thing. Our actions and speech although good can become a stumbling block for others. As Christians our goal should always be to look out for the other persons good. Because, while we may be able to do anything it’s not always good to do it.

1 Corinthians 10:23-24
You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is good for you. You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is beneficial. Don’t be concerned for your own good but for the good of others.
