Goodness of God!

 “Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men!”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭31‬:‭19‬ ‭

When we think of the goodness of God that He gives each of His followers all we can do is bow down and praise Him from the bottom of our hearts. We are not worthy of His goodness but yet in His love He gives it to us anyway. Thank you Lord.

Citizen of heaven

 “For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭

What great verses to think in today! If you are a follower of Jesus….your citizenship is in heaven!!! Praise Jesus! We know await His return. When He comes He will transform our bodies to be like his…perfect and glorious! He has won the victory! Do you believe it? Does your life show it? 

Thank you Lord and come quickly!

Wins souls

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

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭11‬:‭30‬ ‭

As followers of Jesus we have a job to do on behalf of God. Win souls! Tell the good news of Jesus to others do they may come to Jesus and put their faith in Him. The Bible says we are wise if we do so! So let me ask are you wise?

Conclusion

 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man’s all.”

‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭12‬:‭13‬ ‭

The wisest man who ever lived made the statement above. Solomon. It is true and we would be wise to understand it and obey it! Fear God! Know and hold Him in His right position as God! Obey His Word! Do these for it is what we were made to do!

Knowledge

 “Let us know, Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord. 

‭‭Hosea‬ ‭6‬:‭3‬a

May God grant us the knowledge to know Him deeper every day and then act in obedience to what we learn so we can love Him more and more each day!!!

Be content!

 “Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.”

‭‭I Timothy‬ ‭6‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭

We are told here being godly and being content is a great gain for ourselves. God has given us everything we need so be content with the basics! That sure isn’t what the world teaches us it! 

Think about how God has blessed you with what you need and live for Him and praise Him for it!

My Redeemer!

 “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭19‬:‭14‬ ‭

God is our strength. He is the one who provides all both physically and spiritually so we can survive! He also us our Redeemer! Redeem means to purchase by a payment of a price. The price for our redemption was the blood of Jesus. Just think on that a bit. This our lives should be lived out in a way that is pleasing to God by obedience to His word in all areas of our life.

He knows

 “The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him.”

‭‭Nahum‬ ‭1‬:‭7

We must always remember God knows all! He knows if you have put your trust in Him or not. He is a good God and also remember only God is good according to scripture. He also is our stronghold, to whom else can we turn with all the answered and power? None!

Praise the Lord for His goodness and strength!

Are you happy?

 “Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in the Lord his God,”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭146‬:‭5‬ ‭

We find as we live out our lives there is only ONE way to truly be happy and that is to be a follower of God! All others ways are temporary but His way is eternal!

Bless the Lord!

 “Bless the Lord, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His word, Heeding the voice of His word. Bless the Lord, all you His hosts, You ministers of His, who do His pleasure. Bless the Lord, all His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul!”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭103‬:‭20‬-‭22‬ ‭

We are to bless the Lord and be His light to the world! Are we?

Never!

 “For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father’s, and of the holy angels.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭26‬ ‭

Never be ashamed of our Lord! Proclaim Him always!!!!

Do good!

 ”And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.“

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬ ‭

Some days it may seem to us of “what’s the use” of doing good to others when others are not doing good to us! Well here we are told by the word of God…do good and don’t lose heart! We are serving the King and need to always remember that! When we do good to others it shows the love of Jesus as He has shown us! Do good!

Children and heirs!

 ”The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.“

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭

Chew on this today…the God of all creation had made us his children and heirs through the death of His Son. He loves us and provided everything for us to be in this position if we will just surrender our lives to Jesus! Wow!

Bread alone?

 ”But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”“

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬ ‭

Here as Jesus was being tempted by Satan Jesus gives us a major key to life as followers of Him….”every word”! Gods word is more important that anything for us as it is the guidebook for life God has given us. Read it, meditate on it, learn it, obey it!!

Always pray!

 ”Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart,“

‭‭Luke‬ ‭18‬:‭1‬ ‭

When we are walking with Jesus we must do as Jesus taught us here…always pray! That is our communication line and keeps us in touch with God. Not lose heart….we will have difficult times so we keep the faith and keep living for Jesus! 

Both of these are keys to the abundant life in Christ…practice them daily!

Be a doer!

 ”But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.“

‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭22‬ ‭ 

May we all do what God tells us here in this verse! Be a doer of His word not just a listener! 

Chew on that!
