Good morning. It’s better to be humble than to be proud, for God calls pride an abomination. The Bible declares God resist the proud and give grace to the humble. We all need God’s grace in these last and evil days. If you’re having a hard time humbling yourself tell God all about it. It’s better to talk to him about your struggles before he has to humble you. For when God humbles you not a prayer in the world can help you.

1 Peter 5:6
So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.

Good morning. Have you ever needed to be rescued from something or someone? Did it feel good when you were finally out of the situation? Sometimes we may find ourselves in situations and we need someone to help us out of them and when they arrive we are so glad they showed up. We can be stuck on the side of the road, caught in a stopped elevator, in a bad accident, etc… Jesus died so that we can be rescued from this world; for we are just strangers passing through. We should be rejoicing that we have an escape plan in place. When the time comes Jesus will lead the way out.

Galatians 1:4
Jesus gave his life for our sins, just as God our Father planned, in order to rescue us from this evil world in which we live.

Good morning. The Bible declares the promises of God are yes and amen. We can rejoice over that because if God promised us something it will come to past. While we’re waiting on the promise let’s live holy. Holiness is right in the sight of the Lord and the Bible declares to be holy for holiness without shall no man see the Lord. We should have a reverential fear of God and be so concerned with the things of God that we hate the very things that he hate.

2 Corinthians 7:1
Because we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body or spirit. And let us work toward complete holiness because we fear God.

Good morning. Had it not been for God’s grace where would we be? When we first believed he saved us by his grace. Salvation is a gift from God. We can’t earn it, we can’t work for it, therefore, we can’t take credit for the gift that God has given us. Give God all the glory, honor, and praise that’s do his name because without him we are nothing; without him we are like a ship without a sail.

Ephesians 2:8-9
God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.

Good morning. Let us not think that we can keep sinning and not suffer consequences. When punishment comes don’t get mad just repent and turn back to God. God doesn’t automatically forgive us of our sins we have to ask him for forgiveness. Stop fooling yourself thinking you’re perfect and without sin. Be for real with yourself and confront the rebel inside of you. Thank God that he didn’t destroy you in your rebellion against him and that he’s giving you time to examine your ways before it’s too late.

Lamentations 3:39-42
Then why should we, mere humans, complain when we are punished for our sins? Instead, let us test and examine our ways. Let us turn back to the LORD. Let us lift our hearts and hands to God in heaven and say, We have sinned and rebelled,
and you have not forgiven us.

Good morning. When was the last time you took a self-examination? Was your faith solid and genuine? Or did you find that you’ve been wavering in your faith? When we examine ourselves and find that we lack the very things we need for this Christian journey, we have to be real with Jesus and ask him for the very things we lack and it starts with faith. There is no way we can walk this Christian journey without faith. For the Bible declares without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

2 Corinthians 13:5-6
Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely you know that Jesus Christ is among you; if not, you have failed the test of genuine faith. As you test yourselves, I hope you will recognize that we have not failed the test of apostolic authority.

Good morning. Are you living by the spirit? If so, have you given Jesus all of your sinful desires? We must let go of our worldly ways and be led by the Spirit. It’s time out for excuses on why our behavior is not modeled after the word. It’s time to surrender every area of our lives to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Our souls are at stake and we can no longer afford to keep playing games and taking our salvation for granted.

Galatians 5:24-26
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.

Good morning. Whenever we work we want to get paid what we’re owed. We don’t work for free because that would mean we’re volunteers. We should apply this same principle to our daily lives. Our behavior will dictate what punishment we’re owed. And if we’re volunteering to sin then we’re volunteering to be on Satan’s roll-call. Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand.

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.

Good morning. The Lord watches everything we do. We cannot hide anything from him. People may not always be around us but the eyes of the Lord are everywhere. We should never think that we’re getting away with anything. We should always keep in mind that the Lord watches over the good and bad and that we will be held accountable.

Proverbs 15:3
The LORD is watching everywhere, keeping his eye on both the evil and the good.

Good morning. There’s no need to worry about anything. We can rejoice in the hope of Christ Jesus for he died that we may have eternal life. When trials and tribulations land on our doorstep we can be patient and know that it’s only a matter of time before God delivers us. So never stop praying. Never stop seeking the Lord. David said; I called on the Lord and he heard my cry. God sees us and he hears us, so what are we showing him and what are we saying?

Romans 12:12
Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.
