Good morning. We’ve been hearing for a while now that debt free is the way to be and it’s true. The Bible declares we are to owe no man nothing but to love him. When we are in debt we are in bondage and we are slave to the lender, and we have no financial peace. The lender lord our debt over us until it’s paid. We can never truly enjoy the fruits of our labor because as soon as we make money we have to give it to the creditors. It’s time to get free in every area of our lives. It’s time to spend within our means. It’s time to cut out unnecessary purchases and have something in the coffer for a rainy day; because rainy days are on the horizon.

Proverbs 22:7
Just as the rich rule the poor,
so the borrower is servant to the lender.

Good morning. If we are fortunate enough to have a true friend we’re blessed. True friends are not afraid to tell us we’re wrong, they are not afraid to tell us to stop having a pity party and start praying, and they are not afraid to tell us the hard truth even if they know we may get angry. If we don’t have these type of friends in our circle, then the people we do have in our circle is doing us a great disservice. Seek real friendship. Desire friends that will help push you into your destiny. Desire friends that will challenge you in the word of God. Don’t settle for friends who always pat you on the back and never tell you you’re wrong. These type of friends will see you walking in error and let you walk right into hell.

Proverbs 27:6
Wounds from a sincere friend
are better than many kisses from an enemy.

Good morning. We serve a just and faithful God. He doesn’t love one of us more than the other one. He see’s everything and deals with us according to our actions. Only what we do for Christ will last. So let’s make sure we are doing things to please him. Let’s make sure we are doing things to advance the kingdom of God. Let’s make sure we are doing things that God will be able to say; well done thy good and faithful servant.

1 Peter 1:17
And remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no favorites. He will judge or reward you according to what you do. So you must live in reverent fear of him during your time here as “temporary residents.”

Good morning. After we’ve tasted and seen that the Lord is good then go back to our wicked ways; there is no more sacrifice that the Lord can do for us. When we deliberately sin we cut ourselves off from God. Jesus died that we may have life and when we sin, we crucify him afresh. Rejecting Christ is a sure ticket to hell. We don’t have to go to hell. Choose life and stop making the name of the Lord a reproach among men.

Hebrews 6:4-6
For it is impossible to bring back to repentance those who were once enlightened—those who have experienced the good things of heaven and shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the power of the age to come— and who then turn away from God. It is impossible to bring such people back to repentance; by rejecting the Son of God, they themselves are nailing him to the cross once again and holding him up to public shame.

Good morning. When we cry out to God we need to be ready to receive from him and be ready to pay the vow we vowed to him. If we tell God that we will serve him if he rescues us and he upholds his end of the deal, then we need to keep our word and serve him. We are only fooling ourselves if we’re telling ourselves; I’m only calling out to God until he answers me. God knows the intent of our hearts and we will get ourselves in trouble playing with the Lord.

Psalms 119:145-152
Qoph
I pray with all my heart; answer me, LORD! I will obey your decrees. I cry out to you; rescue me, that I may obey your laws. I rise early, before the sun is up; I cry out for help and put my hope in your words. I stay awake through the night, thinking about your promise. In your faithful love, O LORD, hear my cry; let me be revived by following your regulations. Lawless people are coming to attack me; they live far from your instructions. But you are near, O LORD, and all your commands are true. I have known from my earliest days that your laws will last forever.

Good morning. Everything in our society is honored more than wisdom. Using wisdom in everyday life is more effective than using wealth and success. Wise people often go unheard and we need to learn to be receptive to wisdom, no matter who it comes from.

Ecclesiastes 9:13-18
Here is another bit of wisdom that has impressed me as I have watched the way our world works. There was a small town with only a few people, and a great king came with his army and besieged it. A poor, wise man knew how to save the town, and so it was rescued. But afterward no one thought to thank him. So even though wisdom is better than strength, those who are wise will be despised if they are poor. What they say will not be appreciated for long. Better to hear the quiet words of a wise person
than the shouts of a foolish king. Better to have wisdom than weapons of war,
but one sinner can destroy much that is good.

Good morning. The Holy Spirit is God’s promise of eternal life for those who believe in him. The Spirit is in us now by faith, and by faith we are certain to live with Christ forever. When the Holy Spirit is working within us, we will believe that Jesus Christ is God’s son and that eternal life comes through him. The Holy Spirit empowers us to serve God and do his will. The Holy Spirit helps us through daily problems when we pray. As a Christian we cannot complete this journey without relying on the Holy Spirit.

Romans 8:9-11
But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.) And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God. The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.

Good morning. Many of us have heard the saying ” if you’re looking for something you will find it”. Whenever we’ve heard that statement normally it was meant in a negative way. The things and information we find ourselves searching for in this life; do we really want to discover the information we’re seeking? We must ask ourselves what is the purpose for me searching out the things and information I do? Why must I know everything? There’s nothing wrong with being knowledgeable and having wisdom about things and people; just know that it comes at a price.

Ecclesiastes 1:18
The greater my wisdom, the greater my grief. To increase knowledge only increases sorrow.

Good morning. God watches how we align ourselves with unjust, unholy, and unrighteous people. He sees how we excuse their behavior by turning a blinded eye. We must stand for what is right and just. We don’t have to worry about if other people agree with us; we just have to make sure that God is pleased with us. It’s time to do right by God and stop trying to please man.

Psalms 82:2
How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked?

Good morning. Sometimes it seems like people who are not living for the Lord get away with everything. It seems like God is not punishing them for their sins and their lives are carefree. We have to stop looking at what they are doing and keep our eyes focused on the Lord. The Lord knows what he’s doing and nothing gets passed the Lord. No one is getting away with anything. So let God be God; and let us serve him with gladness.

Psalms 37:7
Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
