Praise the Lord!

 “Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul! While I live I will praise the Lord; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.”

Psalms 146:1-2 

Yes I will! There is nothing else created worth praise other than Jesus!!!

Rejoice always!

 “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬ ‭

Paul had many hardships…beatings, prison, left for dead, shipwrecked, and the list goes on. All of this because he loved Jesus and spoke about Him. Yet Paul could say rejoice in the Lord! Always? 

May we ask ourselves…are we always rejoicing in the Lord? We should be for He has given us everything out of His love for us!

Foreigners

 “hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You, that all peoples of the earth may know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and that they may know that this temple which I have built is called by Your name.”

I Kings 8:43 

Soloman, when dedicating the great temple of God included Gentiles (foreigners) 

Thank you Lord for remembering those who are not Jews!!! We are grateful!

In his own eyes!

 “Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts.”

Proverbs 21:2 

Most of us tend to think we are right in what we say and do! But if it don’t align with what God says then we are wrong no matter what we think! God truly knows our hearts!

Tom

Heed and trust!

 “He who heeds the word wisely will find good, And whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he.”

Proverbs 16:20 

Heed the Word and trust the Lord. You will be happy knowing God is leading you!

Tom

Be careful who your friends are!

 “He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will be destroyed.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭13‬:‭20‬ ‭

Wise people follow Jesus. Fools do not. Are your friends wise or fools. Be very careful who influence you!

Tom

Tree of life.

 “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise.”

Proverbs 11:30 

To be righteous we must be in Christ. For we are not righteous in ourselves alone. When we are in Christ we have the tree of life which is eternity with God!!! Thus to be wise is to win souls by sharing the gospel with others so they too can obtain the tree of life!

Are you a soul winner for Jesus?
