Exerting time and energy to do Godly things can become tiresome if
we are never acknowledged or rewarded for our efforts. Likewise, it
can be wearisome if we meet with difficulties and snags that create
more time and energy to get God's work done. If you are feeling tired
and weary, take Heart! Refresh yourself in His promises. The fruits
of your labor will surely appear if you just keep going and don't quit.
Read Galatians 6:9
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will
reap a harvest if we do not give up." (NIV)
"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall
reap, if we faint not." (KJV)

As Christians, we all have spiritual battles to fight against the subtle traps, deceiving temptations, and outright devastating attacks of Satan. We can't be without the full protection God has provided for us or neglect to maintain and wear any part of His armor. We are to be alert and prepared for anything the enemy may use to hinder or destroy our Christian walk.
Read Ephesians 6:11
"Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. (NIV)
"Put on the whole Armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." (KJV)

Living a clean and upright life serves to keep us on the narrow
path and guards us against temptation and deceit. This is our
desire, to live in this way, because we trust that God will take
care of us for all eternity as He promised.
Read Psalm 25:21
"May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope is in
you." (NIV)
"Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee." (KJV)

Everything we do, everything we learn, and all understanding we
have is to be filled, rich to overflowing with love. Doing so, we can
know the things that are right and Godly. Then we will know God,
for God is love.
Read Philippians 1:9,10
"And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more
in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to
discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day
of Christ." (NIV)
"And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in
knowledge and in all judgment; That ye may approve things that are
excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of
Christ." (KJV)

We are a part of the ultimate reality of God's eternal plan that is working
without interruption or hesitation. There are also the workings of life and living in this world, of which we are a part. The things of this world seem to easily grab our attention. We tend to lose sight of God's ways, which are for our good and His glory, and focus on happenings in this world that keep us struggling spiritually, emotionally, and physically. The things of this world are temporary. The things of God are eternal. Focus on the eternal, then we will have peace and balance in our soul in this world and forever.
Read Colossians 3:2
"Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." (NIV)
"Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth." (KJV)

We are often vulnerable to opening ourselves up to worldly ideas
and actions that seem right at the time, but they are not all right.
They weaken our spiritual holiness and faith. If that happens, we
become ineffective in our testimony, losing that anointing that drew
others to Christ through us. That's why we are strongly warned to be
alert and persevere in our faith.
Read 1 Timothy 4:16
"Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because
if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers." (NIV)
"Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them:
for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear
thee." (KJV)

Sin entered the world because man's foolish thinking was esteemed
more than the wisdom of God. The consequence of that was man's
separation from God. To be in reverent awe and respect of Almighty
God will give us true wisdom, because we will be listening to Him
and being obedient to Him. In doing so, we will become more and
more separated from evil, to places where we can really see and
understand the truth.
Read Job 28:28
"And he said to man, 'The fear of the Lord--that is wisdom, and to shun
evil is understanding.'" (NIV)
"And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom;
and to depart from evil is understanding." (KJV)
