KNOWING AND DOING THE RIGHT THING

Psalm 41:12

"But you have upheld me because of my integrity, and set me in your presence forever." ESV

When was the last time we examined the quality of our own integrity? We can gauge our integrity by how we behave in private. Is it the same behavior we would do in public with everyone watching? I if can say yes, we have integrity. It is knowing the right thing and doing it always. The Lord has promised that He will support us in our integrity. Our lack of integrity draws us away from the presence of the Lord. How is your integrity?

Heavenly Father, we fail to recognize that subtle things of this world weaken our integrity. We ask for vision and discernment to see the true condition of our hearts where our integrity lives. We desire that our integrity allows You support us in our daily walk through this life. In Jesus' name, Amen.

FREE INSURANCE

Psalm 18:35

"You have given me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand supported me, and your gentleness made me great." ESV

To have the shield of God's divine protection is to be safe in His care though all trials and tribulations. Our God gives us His power and courage to stand strong in the face of danger. There is nothing we have done to deserve this kind and generous favor of God in our lives. It is only because of His great love and grace toward us.

Heavenly Father, we can never earn or deserve the favor You lavish on us. We can only offer our lives to You as witnesses of Your mercy and grace. In Jesus' name, Amen.

WARN, ENCOURAGE, HELP, WITH PATIENCE

1 Thessalonians 5:14

"And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone."NIV

"Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men."KJV

We are called on to take action toward those who are struggling in the faith. Before we can do that, we will need to examine our own lives to see if we are lacking in our walk with the Lord. Then, it will take much prayer and communion with the Lord, asking daily for the fullness and leading of the Holy Spirit to be able to do these things that are asked of us. There are always going to be lazy, boisterous, depressed, and weak people. And patience is a difficult spiritual fruit to practice. It helps if we remember that we were at one time or another, one of those people who needed someone to be patient with us.

Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ fulfilled all these things expected of us toward others. Search our hearts and if we fall short, help us to mature in these areas. Help us to remember from where we came just prior and after we became Christians. Give us the mind of Christ and fullness of His Spirit so that we can help others who are struggling and do it with patience. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
