WHAT ARE WE DOING?

 

Haggai 1:7

"This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'Give careful thought to your ways.'"NIV

"Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Consider your ways."KJV

Our daily schedules are so busy we have organized our tasks by doing things by mindless routine. Unfortunately, it is easy to get into a mindless routine of daily Bible reading and prayer, if we have worked that into our day at all. When we are going along on auto pilot through our day, the enemy has a perfect playground in our minds and lives to set us up for temptation and sin. Take heed of what the Word tells us to do.

Heavenly Father, we ask for Your forgiveness for going through our day without giving thought to what we say or do, but live in mindless routines. We pray for mindfulness of all that we think, say, and do so that we will bring honor and glory to Your name. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

TRUE OVERCOMERS

Salvation is the free gift of God through faith. However, it is our
walk through this world of time on earth that shows whether we
have truly accepted that free gift. If we overcome the obstacles
and trials lying in our path, we will be counted as the true believers
and live forever with Him.

Read Revelation 2:7

"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life,
which is in the paradise of God."(NIV)

"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches;
To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the
midst of the paradise of God." (KJV)

DON'T GET COMFORTABLE HERE

If we are strangers and aliens in this world that implies we belong
to the heavenly realm and not the earthly one. If we allow earthly
things to grab our affections, Godly things will fade. Then we are at
risk for becoming captives to this world. It is crucial to stay away
from those things that tempt us.

Read 1 Peter 2:11

"Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to
abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul." (NIV)

"Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain
from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul" (NIV)

HIS EYE IS ON YOU

Every person will have to give an account to the living God. All actions, thoughts, and secrets are intimately known by Him. Doesn't it seem like a wise thing to make sure all our actions, thoughts, and secrets are brought to Him and covered by His blood?

Read Hebrews 4:13

"Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account."(NIV)

"Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do." (KJV)

HIS WAY IS EASIER

In contrast to the religiosity of the Scribes and Pharisees, the way of
the spiritual life Jesus lived and taught us is much less cumbersome
and bound by traditions. His way is mild and gentle. Jesus showed us
by His life that He was not stern, overbearing, or oppressive. It is in
freedom that we walk as He did, not in obligation and oppression.

Read Matthew 11:29

"Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble
in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." (NIV)

"Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly
in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls." (KJV)

LORD OUR REFUGE

Seeking refuge in the Lord in troubled times is wise. This does not
mean we are running away from our problems and troubles. It means
we are in His hands where He can lift our spirit above our problems
and troubles so they do not overcome us. No one can tell us to run
from our enemies when we are in His hands.

Read Psalm 11:1

"In the Lord I take refuge. How then can you say to me: 'Flee like a
bird to your Mountain.'" (NIV)

"In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird
to your mountain?" (KJV)

GLORIFYING GOD

We all came into this life with nothing. All that we experience and obtain in this life is a journey on our own unique road. If we are true Christians, we will
be glorifying God no matter what is happening on our journey.

Read Job 1:21

"Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised." (NIV)

"And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name
of the LORD." (KJV)
