Good morning. Do you give your all at work or do you try to get over? God isn’t pleased with lazy people; for they bring poverty upon themselves and they irritate their employers. The Bible declares; work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.

Proverbs 10:26
Lazy people irritate their employers, like vinegar to the teeth or smoke in the eyes.

Good morning. Nothing we do can be hidden from God. God knows our thoughts and our motives. The Lord knows what’s in the depths of our hearts. As we go through this journey called life and God shows us what’s really in us; let’s seek to keep the good he shows us and rectify the bad that’s within us.

Proverbs 20:27
The LORD’s light penetrates the human spirit, exposing every hidden motive.

Good morning. As disciples of Christ the knowledge we gain is not just for us. As we learn from the Lord we are obligated to teach others and those that we teach should pass it along. We should live a life of faith that others are willing to learn from us and are eager to spread the word. No one person can teach everyone, as many members in one body we all have our part. Together as the body of Christ we can be more affective than one person trying to go at it alone and be ineffective.

2 Timothy 2:2
You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others.

Good morning. With so many things going on in the world and so many things around us that can easily distract us, we must remain focus. We must keep our eyes fixed on the Lord and remain steadfast, unmovable always abounding in the work of the Lord. Daily we must keep our feet from straying into all kinds of evil. The Bible declares to watch as well as pray. We must be on the lookout for traps set to make us fall. Straight and narrow is the road that leads to our Father’s house, let’s not veer off it and find ourselves on a road to destruction.

Proverbs 4:25-27
Look straight ahead,
and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path. Don’t get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil.

Good morning. Being the life of the party is only good for our public image. It means nothing if God looks at us as dead. We need to deal with the reality of what’s deep in our hearts and come clean with God. Don’t get so caught up in your public image that you make hell your permanent dwelling place.

Revelation 3:1-6
The Message to the Church in Sardis “Write this letter to the angel of the church in Sardis. This is the message from the one who has the sevenfold Spirit of God and the seven stars: ” I know all the things you do, and that you have a reputation for being alive—but you are dead. Wake up! Strengthen what little remains, for even what is left is almost dead. I find that your actions do not meet the requirements of my God. Go back to what you heard and believed at first; hold to it firmly. Repent and turn to me again. If you don’t wake up, I will come to you suddenly, as unexpected as a thief. “Yet there are some in the church in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes with evil. They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy. All who are victorious will be clothed in white. I will never erase their names from the Book of Life, but I will announce before my Father and his angels that they are mine.
“Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.

Good morning. Can someone give us a compliment without it going to our heads? Can someone acknowledge us, praise us for the works we’ve done, recognize our contributions and we stay humble? We should never let what others say about us give us the big-head. When they speak praises about us we should immediately give God all the glory because without him we wouldn’t be nothing. So, the next time you let words blow up your ego remember pride ends in humiliation and humility brings honor.

Proverbs 27:21
Fire tests the purity of silver and gold, but a person is tested by being praised.

Good morning. There is no need to fret or fear for the Lord is with us. When the enemy tries to destroy us the Lord is with us. When unfavorable situations and circumstances arise in our lives the Lord is with us. Trials and tribulations help cultivate our maturity in the Lord. We wouldn’t seek the Lord or have a prayer life like we do if trials had never come our way. So, don’t get mad and think God doesn’t love you when you find yourself in a trial. Begin to ask the Lord what do you want me to learn? What are you pressing out of me? What are you placing inside of me? We should learn something from trials and tribulations and most importantly we should always remember the Lord is with us through it all.

Isaiah 43:2
When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.

Good morning. When adversity comes you will find out what’s really in a person. You will find out if their faith is as strong as they say it is or you will find out that the person has been all talk and has no faith or power. Adversity tests the character of a person and reveals truth. What do people see in us when adverse situations arise in our lives? Do they see a faith walker or an air talker? Do they see someone strong in the Lord? Or, do they see someone who has cowered to the enemy? Adversity can either strengthen you or weaken you; you decide how you will allow adversity to affect you.

Proverbs 24:10
If you fail under pressure,
your strength is too small.

Good morning. Now that we are in Christ we need a change of mind; our spirit is willing but our flesh is weak, that’s why when situations arise our mind wants to revert to our old nature before Christ. It is so important that we renew our mindsets daily to respond to life’s situations the way the Lord would have us to. Therefore, we must make it a point to commune with God daily, get in his presence daily, feed our mind and spirit with the word daily, and resist the devil and he’ll flee. A made up mind for Christ will keep us focused on this journey.

Ephesians 4:22-23
throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes.

Good morning. Who or what has taken our attention from God? We don’t pray, fast, or study the word like we should because we’re too busy entertaining something or someone that isn’t of God. Our objective should be to please God, live Holy, and be a light to this dark world. We can’t do that when we won’t separate ourselves from the very thing or person who’s captured our attention. The Bible declares Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? Let’s turn our hearts back to God.

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