1 Corinthians 6:19
19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
Think about this verse. Your body has God dwelling inside it if you are a follower of Jesus. How is your temple? Are you keeping your temple clean and Holy? Is it a place God is happy to dwell in? Is it being used for His glory? These are questions we need to think about and if changes need to be made to honor God then let's do it!!!!

Jeremiah 16:17
17 For My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, nor is their iniquity hidden from My eyes.
Seen this yesterday and it spoke to me so I wanted to share it with you:
Don't try to please everyone. Jesus never did.
Note to self!!! Jesus was more interested in loving the outsider than being like by people in power. How about you?
Chew on that today!

“Jesus said to the twelve, ‘Do you want to go away as well?’ Simon Peter answered him, ‘Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.’” John 6:67–68
We all have to ask ourselves this question as well. Do we want to follow Jesus or go away? He alone holds the key to eternity in heaven but some would rather have what the world has to offer. May we all have the desire to follow Jesus as our Lord and Savior.
Think on this today....are we truly following Jesus or the world?

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.
Psalm 143:83. "God is faithful..." (1 Cor. 1:9)
Just breath God has everything under control for you!!!

Worship the LORD with gladness. Come before Him, singing with joy. - Psalm 100:2
This verse is not something we should just do on Sunday at church, it should be a part of our daily life. Worshipping God with gladness and singing His praises because we love Him and appreciate everything He has done and will do for us!!!
So ask yourself is this verse a part of my daily walk with the Lord???

"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." John 10:27
What voice are you hearing to follow in your life? Your own? Friends? Media? Family? This is an important question as we have ONE voice that we should be listening too....Jesus!!! He will lead and guide us in truth where all other voices may lead us away from the truth of God!
So ask yourself who are you listening too????

As followers of Jesus this is our goal:
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7
When our days on earth are done we can say and others can say about us we gave our all for Jesus!!! Chew on this today and evaluate if this is where you are at!!!

Psalm 33:18
Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His mercy,
I pray this is you this morning as I will say for me it is a firm yes!!! I fear the Lord as He is all powerful and will judge sin but I also love God and know He loves me as He has shown me mercy through His Son Jesus Christ! OH what an awesome God we have!!!
Is God's eye on you this morning??.....I pray it is!

John 6:37
37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.
Most places you work can cast you out for whatever reason they want. A place you eat can ask you to leave if you are disruptive. A teacher can kick you out of class for various reasons. But guess what? If you come to Jesus with your sinful condition He will take you in and never cast you out!!! He has paid for your sins, loves you, and just wants you to put your faith in Him and follow Him. Who in the world would refuse that and to know you have eternal life on top of all that! Praise the Lord!!!! Thank you Jesus for not casting me out!

Matthew 11:28-30
28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
I don't know about you but I need some rest! Good news! Jesus offers that rest in two ways. First, as we labor for Him and live this life for Him He provides the rest we need, Especially the rest of being secure in Him. Then He also gives us the rest for our souls when eternity roles around for His followers. The key point is to know His as your personal Lord and Savior for without Him you will find no rest here or in eternity!
Thank you Lord for rest!

Nehemiah 8:10
10 Then he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Do you take time to enjoy God? You should after all He has provided everything we need in life. I like reading this verse...eat and drink what God has blessed you with....bless somebody else who has not been blessed like you....live every day as a holy day to God....don't sorrow but have joy in the Lord for He is our strength!!! Without Him we are weak!
Thank you Lord for you are the TRUE joy in life!!!
