Good morning. Comparing ourselves to others only leaves us miserable. We need to learn to be content with the skills, talents, abilities and gifts that God has given us. When we spend time perfecting our skills, talents, abilities and gifts, we won’t have time to look at what other people are doing. God created us all different. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. There’s no need to try and be like someone else or compare ourselves with others.

Galatians 6:4
Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else.

Good morning. We must do a daily inventory of our spiritual walk with God. He’s given us a checklist of what shouldn’t be in our lives. If we find these things in our lives we need to turn them over to the Lord. Now that we are in Christ we are new creatures. We shouldn’t be memorializing the old man. We should let our old nature die and stay buried. Let’s stop living like this is all there is to life. Let’s stop living worldly. We cannot afford to be carnal minded in this season. For we want our names to be found in the Book of Life.

Galatians 5:19-21
When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

Good morning. There’s no need in giving God any excuses about why he shouldn’t use us. He knows exactly who we are, what we’ve done and what we’re going to do. He knows all of our shortcomings, disabilities and fears. Nevertheless, he still calls upon us to do a work for him. Our only answer should be yes Lord, I’m a willing vessel Lord. We shouldn’t try to talk God out of using us. We shouldn’t try to give him excuse after excuse why we’re not the right ones for the job. God is not in the business of making us comfortable. He’s in the business of stretching our faith and getting the glory out of our lives.

Jeremiah 1:5
“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.”

Good morning. God has called us to holiness not happiness. We serve a holy God and therefore, we should be a holy people. It’s not hard living holy. Just like we purpose in our minds to do other things, we can purpose in our minds to live holy, to live the word, and to do the will of the Father. If we’re not living holy, the devil didn’t do it, we did it. We made the choice to live anyway that pleases the flesh and that’s contrary to the word of God.

Leviticus 20:26
You must be holy because I, the LORD, am holy. I have set you apart from all other people to be my very own.

Good morning. There will be times in our lives when God reminds us who he is and what he’s done for us. Sometimes, we tend to forget that if it had not been for the Lord on our side our enemies would have consumed us. Sometimes, we tend to forget that we’re nothing in our own strength and might. We should be grateful that God is so gracious to remind us of his strength, power and glory, and that he doesn’t destroy us for believing our own hype. He is the Lord our God; it is he that has made us and not we ourselves.

Exodus 20:2
“I am the LORD your God, who rescued you from the land of Egypt, the place of your slavery.

Good morning. God created us in his image therefore, we should look like him, talk like him and act like him. We shouldn’t be trying to change the way God made us. He didn’t make a mistake when he chose us to be a man or a woman. He didn’t make a mistake when he gave us our skin color. He didn’t make a mistake when he gave us our eye color, our accents, and all of our other features. When we look at ourselves in the mirror we are looking at a reflection of God.

Genesis 1:27
So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

Good morning. We’ve always been taught to keep the main thing the main thing. And here is the main thing; have we been transformed and renewed in our minds? Have we circumcised our hearts and cut out all the evilness? Have we asked God to purge us and purify us? Fixing up our outer appearance is not the main thing, it’s superficial. Letting God do a work on the inside of us is the main thing.

Galatians 6:15
It doesn’t matter whether we have been circumcised or not. What counts is whether we have been transformed into a new creation.

Good morning. Other people’s behavior shouldn’t alter our behavior. We are so quick to react like world and we wonder why we can’t win souls to Christ. Don’t stop treating people good even if they treat you bad. Don’t stop loving people even if they don’t love you. We are children of God, therefore, we don’t do quid-pro-quo. God never said; I’ll love you if you love me back. God never said; I’ll only do good to you if you treat me right. We’ve sinned against God and yet, He woke us up. We’ve did everything we thought was right in our own eyes and yet, He allowed grace to abound even the more. If we’re going to claim to be children of God, then we need to possess some of his characteristics and attributes. God sees and God will reward. We just have to make up our minds; that we are not going to let the world dictate our behavior.

Galatians 6:9-10
So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith.

Good morning. We must be careful that we are not living to please our flesh. If we find ourselves spending more time doing worldly things and only giving God an hour on Sunday, we might just be pleasing our flesh. If the only time we pray is to say grace over our food, we might just be pleasing our flesh. If the only time we crack open the Bible is on Sunday, we might just be pleasing our flesh. Pleasing our flesh only leads to death and hell. Now is time for corrective action. Now is the time to repent. Now is the time to surrender our all to God. Don’t waste time pleasing the flesh; be productive and get in the presence of God.

Galatians 6:8
Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.

Good morning. No one or nothing can make us act out, we choose to act out. We control our actions. Therefore, we can’t blame anyone else for our behavior. Even if someone makes us mad, we can’t use the excuse; because they made us mad we changed our behavior. For the Bible declares; be angry and sin not. So, let’s take ownership of our behavior, repent and ask God to teach us how to respond instead of react to life’s situations.

Galatians 6:5
For we are each responsible for our own conduct.
