2 Corinthians 10:17-18 — Are you a self-made believer?
I hear people from day-day-to make statements about how “they did or own” certain things on their own as if they are self-made successes. Everything each of us has ever owned or possessed in this life came from God. You may have lost the possession, relationship, or thing along the way for whatever reason, but He gave it to you to be a good steward over, not to worship it’s existence and being.
Proverbs 3:1-4 — Love, Faithfulness & God’s Favor…
In short, God wants to love us and give us favor and a good name in the sight of Himself and everyone we meet, but there is a level of expectation that we must decide to uphold in our daily actions and reactions for such to happen
Matthew 16:15-16 — “Thank you” and “Please” work… especially with God!
Think for a moment… about the smallest blessings you’ve been a prime recipient of just today. Yes, what if He hadn’t decided to wake you up in a comfy bed and living arrangement, then what?
James 1:21 — In direct or Indirect relationship with God? Yes, it matters!
If God came back at this very moment, pressing pause on all of our lives, what would He find in all aspects of your life? Would the sum of your actions line-up with God’s Word in regards to obedience of His commandments for us all?
Philippians 1:6 – We’re all a ‘Work-In-Progress’… Stop passing out ‘Flawed Pity-Party Invites’.
I’m so glad that God doesn’t throw in the towel on me as one of His children. As often as each of us allows for ourselves to be frustrated and aggravated with others and their flaws, I’m sure God is just a frustrated with each of us in our areas of struggle in our Christian walk.
