Good morning. We gain absolutely nothing when we’re stingy and have a closed fist. We can’t just want God to bless us, then we turn our backs on those in need. The Bible declares if we give it will come back to us good measure, press down, and running over shall men give unto us. The seasoned saints used to say; you can’t beat God’s giving no matter how hard you try. The secret to being wealthy is to be a giver. The reality to being poor and losing everything is to be stingy.

Proverbs 11:24
Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything.

Good morning. We all have friends that we like visiting. However, it’s better to be invited to their houses instead of always just stopping by. We have to be careful not wear out our welcome no matter how much our friends like us. If you just have to always be in the presence of friends, Jesus don’t mind you spending all your time with him.

Proverbs 25:17
Don’t visit your neighbors too often, or you will wear out your welcome.

Good morning. No matter what we see we have to remember we’re on a faith walk, not a sight walk. When we walk by sight we start looking at the wrong things and people; then we become envious and jealous of the person we’re looking at. We must keep reminding ourselves that God has plans for our lives. We must hold on to God’s unchanging hand even when it seems like nothing is working in our favor. Let’s not get sidetracked and miss out on having a real relationship with the Lord because we’re too busy looking at everyone else’s relationship with the world.

Psalms 73:1-3
Truly God is good to Israel, to those whose hearts are pure. But as for me, I almost lost my footing. My feet were slipping, and I was almost gone. For I envied the proud when I saw them prosper despite their wickedness.

Good morning. Many people can’t enjoy today because they’re worried about tomorrow. Since we don’t know if our name is written in tomorrow, we should take the time to thank God for what he’s done for us today. We should stop and look at today’s beauty and see the marvelous hand of God. Look up in the sky and see it’s beauty. Look at the birds, squirrels, and trees and see their beauty. We will be able see how thoughtful God is about today if we would just stop thinking about tomorrow.

Proverbs 27:1
Don’t brag about tomorrow,
since you don’t know what the day will bring.

Good morning. We can’t control if someone decides to lie on us, we just need to make sure the lie isn’t true. We don’t have to explain ourselves to people to try and refute the lie. All we have to do is be silent, keep living a life pleasing to God and the lie will be exposed.

Proverbs 12:19
Truthful words stand the test of time,but lies are soon exposed.

Good morning. Now is not the time to turn our backs on the Lord. Now is not the time to start worshipping false gods, our money, our jobs, people, and anything else that’s not the true and living God. There are consequences to forgetting about God and all he’s done for us. Many of us have tried God and found out that he’s a way-maker, a promise keeper, a healer, a deliverer, a miracle worker, etc…, Since we know this, what in the world is worth leaving him for? This world has nothing good to offer us. God said he’s married to the backslider, so repent and turn back to him. Don’t get destroyed because you’ve decided the world is more important than God.

Zephaniah 1:6
And I will destroy those who used to worship me but now no longer do. They no longer ask for the LORD’s guidance
or seek my blessings.”

Good morning. Once we’ve heard the word, we have an obligation to obey and act on the word. Let’s not be one of those Christians that can quote scriptures but have raggedy lifestyles. Quoting scripture does nothing when a change in behavior doesn’t follow. Our character speaks volumes to what we believe about the word of God.

James 1:23-24
For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like.

Good morning. We’ve all heard that there are no guarantees in life and that’s true; but when we are in Christ Jesus he’s given us some guarantees that we can bank on. He guaranteed us an inheritance for believing in him. He gave his life as a down-payment to save us. The presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives is our assurance of eternal life with all its blessings. Through the working of the Holy Spirit inside of us, our lives are being transformed and it’s just a taste of the change we will experience in eternity.

Ephesians 1:13-14
And now you Gentiles have also heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago. The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him.

Good morning. We don’t have to fear diseases or disasters for the Lord will cover us. This doesn’t mean we are not to take the necessary precautions to keep ourselves safe. It means while things are certainly happening all around us it won’t come near us, for the God we serve is faithful and he’s a man of his word.

Psalms 91:6-7
Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you.

Good morning. God is not going to change the word to fit our lifestyles. God is not going to bend the rules so that we can skate by in life. Somewhere along this journey we’ve been deceived in thinking that we can say a couple of “thank you Jesus”, “praise the Lord”, “hallelujah’s”, and God will just cater to us. Don’t we know that God knows if our worship is for real or not? God does not change for anyone. God’s word is not going to change for anyone. It’s God’s way and not our way. So, we can either get right or get left.

Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
