Good morning. No matter what we face in life, God can handle it. No matter what situation we bring before the Lord, he can fix it. God created this world and he knows the ins and outs and all that’s going on. We have to always remember who God is, what God can do, how powerful God is, the authority God has and know without a shadow of a doubt there’s nothing too hard for God. This should put peace in our spirit. Knowing when we cast our cares on the Lord he can and will handle it.

Genesis 18:14
Is anything too hard for the LORD?

Good morning. No matter what is going on in the world our souls must be anchored in the Lord. When our souls are anchored in the Lord people can’t make us step outside the will of God. To keep our souls anchored in the Lord we must communicate with him daily. We must read his word daily to nourish our spirits. The saying is true: “Whatever we put in us will come out of us.” When the Holy Spirit resides on the inside of us we will respond to people with the spirit. If the world is inside of us, then we definitely are not anchored in the Lord and we will respond with flesh. We cannot let sin rule in our bodies.

Psalms 119:61
Evil people try to drag me into sin, but I am firmly anchored to your instructions.

Good morning. This world is not our home. We shouldn’t be attached to things of this world, neither should we love this world. We are commanded to love the people of this world and that’s what we should do. When we choose this world over God we have stepped into dangerous territory. The Bible declares we can’t serve two masters; we’re going to hate one and love the other. We have to make it up in our minds who are we going to love. There is no more sacrifice for our sins. Jesus paid the ultimate price. He showed us what love really is. Therefore, how we choose to respond will show him who we really love. Let’s not turn our backs on the Lord and give the world everything and in return end up in hell. We have to give God our all.

1 John 2:15-17
Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.

Good morning. Our lifestyles should silence the naysayers. People that bring accusations against us should be ashamed because when they examine our lives they should find that our lives are lining up with the word of God. Our goal is to win souls to Christ, not join sinners in hell. Although we are free in Christ we still have a standard to uphold. Our freedom in Christ is not a license to sin. Therefore, we should examine ourselves daily to ensure we are living the word and holding up the blood-stained banner of Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 2:15-16
It is God’s will that your honorable lives should silence those ignorant people who make foolish accusations against you. For you are free, yet you are God’s slaves, so don’t use your freedom as an excuse to do evil.

Good morning. Either we’re going to trust and believe God’s word or we’re not. We cannot allow our fears and worries to override the word of God. We have to know if God said it, that settles it. We cannot be so caught up in the cares of this world that we allow the enemy to snatch the word of God from us and we become fruitless. We are commanded to spread the good news about our Savior, however, we can’t do that if we don’t trust who God said he is. Today is the day of decision. We must decide to either trust the Lord wholeheartedly or remain fruitless and doubt his word.

Matthew 13:22
The seed that fell among the thorns represents those who hear God’s word, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life and the lure of wealth, so no fruit is produced.

Good morning. When we mess up and sin we can still go to God and ask for forgiveness and mercy. We know that God is going to deal with us but we can ask him to deal with us when his anger subsides. By no means is this a get out of jail free card; however, God’s ways are not our ways. He wants to see us healed, delivered and set free from sin. So whatever sin we’re struggling with, we must continue to put it before the Lord and ask for a Christ like mind so that we can make godly decisions and not the same fleshly mess-ups. When we continue to commit the same sin it’s not a mistake it’s a habit and if we don’t break the habit it becomes our way of life. We must decide what way of life do we want; do we want God’s way of life or Satan’s way of life? How long do we want our sins to be a stink in God’s nostrils?

Psalms 38:1-5
O LORD, don’t rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your rage! Your arrows have struck deep, and your blows are crushing me. Because of your anger, my whole body is sick; my health is broken because of my sins. My guilt overwhelms me— it is a burden too heavy to bear. My wounds fester and stink because of my foolish sins.

Good morning. When we are having a dispute with someone we should never divulge information that someone has given us in secrecy. No matter how heated we are in the moment we must remember that a soft answer turns away wrath, and that loose lips sinks ships. Even if we know we’re right our main goal should be to try and win the other person to Christ. We have to decide what’s more important; being right or winning souls. The only thing that matters is how we conduct ourselves in the heat of the moment. God knows the truth and truth will always prevail.

Proverbs 25:9-10
When arguing with your neighbor, don’t betray another person’s secret. Others may accuse you of gossip, and you will never regain your good reputation.

Good morning. Whenever we’re helping someone out we shouldn’t broadcast it. God see’s our acts of kindness and he has a reward for us. However, if we won’t our reward right now then by all means we should let everyone know what we are doing to help others, embarrass those we are helping by spreading the plight of their misfortune and act like the world acts when they help out others; this is the best way to be rewarded down here. If we’re going to help someone then we need to do just that and be quiet. If we’re going to complain because we’ve helped them, we’re better off doing nothing. God can use anyone to do his work. We need to be thankful that he chose us to do a work for him and that he has us in a position to help others out.

Matthew 6:1-4
“Watch out! Don’t do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others, for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven. When you give to someone in need, don’t do as the hypocrites do—blowing trumpets in the synagogues and streets to call attention to their acts of charity! I tell you the truth, they have received all the reward they will ever get. But when you give to someone in need, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.

Good morning. There’s no need to boast about anything except that we know God is the King of kings and Lord of lords. We can brag on God and let people know it’s because of His mercy that we are not consumed. We can tell the world if it had not been for the Lord on our side we’d be in a devil’s hell. We can tell the world of the Savior’s unfailing love for us, how He loved us when we didn’t love ourselves. That’s the only thing we should ever boast about. When we take the focus off ourselves and place it solely on the Lord, that’s how we lift our Savior up and draw all men unto Him.

Jeremiah 9:23-24
This is what the LORD says:
“Don’t let the wise boast in their wisdom, or the powerful boast in their power, or the rich boast in their riches. But those who wish to boast should boast in this alone: that they truly know me and understand that I am the LORD who demonstrates unfailing love and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth, and that I delight in these things. I, the LORD, have spoken!

Good morning. Whatever promises God has made to us we can count on them coming to past. God is a promise-keeper. No matter how long it takes for us to see the promise know that it’s coming. Not only is God a promise-keeper he’s also a burden-bearer. We don’t have to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders, we can give everything over to the Lord and let him be the heavy-lifter and carry the load. Many burdens we carry because we don’t trust God wholeheartedly; it’s when we learn to trust God in every area of our lives that worry, doubt and fear are cast out.

Psalms 145:13-14
For your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom.
You rule throughout all generations. The LORD always keeps his promises; he is gracious in all he does. The LORD helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads.
