Forgiving
“And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”
Ephesians 4:32
This verse has popped up several times over the past couple days. May we be reminded to be like Jesus…kind, tender hearted, forgiving. All can be tough to of at times but as followers of Jesus we are told to do so. Let’s be obedient!

I will keep!
“Depart from me, you evildoers, For I will keep the commandments of my God!”
Psalms 119:115
The world will do its best to lead you away from obedience to God’s Word. Don’t fall for the tricks of Satan. Always obey the Word of God!!! Stay away from those who tempt you to disobey your God!

All His!
“And he said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, And naked shall I return there. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord.””
Job 1:21
Job lost everything but he kept the right mind frame. Everything is Gods. We are just users of His things. May we keep the right mind frame in all situations and Bless the name of the Lord as well. We do not know what is happening in the spiritual world as Job did not know Satan had requested to test God’s servant. Stand firm in the Lord for we will be home with Him soon!

Under authority!
“Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.” And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.” The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!”
Matthew 8:5-10
We are under the authority of God. Thus we should know His Word and do it. When God speaks we obey. It proves our faith!
Can Jesus say the same about you as He did the centurion? Great faith!

Number our days.
“So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.”
Psalms 90:12
All of our days are numbered. We are here only a short time. True wisdom comes from God and His wisdom says worship Jesus. Time is ticking…are you wise?

Exceedingly Abundant
“And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.”
I Timothy 1:14
May we all agree with Paul this morning what He wrote to Timothy… “the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant “!!! My oh my we can shout a hallelujah to that. He continues to pour out that grace to us everyday and for that we give thanks!!!

Find Him!
“And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;”
Acts 17:26-27
As Paul says we are all “one blood”! Made by God. He gives us life and takes it back at His appointed time. He puts us where he wants us and desires all will seek Him and find Him. He is not far if you truly seek Him!
Chew on that today!!! Have you found Him???

Be ready!
“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;”
I Peter 3:15
Sanctify means set apart for a holy purpose. So as followers we set God apart in our hearts from everything else and worship Him as our all in all! Then when others ask us about Gods we are always ready to tell them about Jesus! His death, burial, resurrection, love, mercy, grace, and forgiveness!!! We have nothing else in our lives more valuable to talk about than Him!!!
Are you ready? Can you do it? Yes you can!!!! So do it!

Sing praises!
“Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.”
Psalms 30:4
In the good times and in the hard times may we worship God through song. Praise Him!!! Give thanks every time we think of His name for He alone is worthy!!!
We love you Lord!!!

Early!
“Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.”
Mark 1:35
Perhaps if Jesus found it useful to rise early and spend time in prayer we should follow His example!!!
Do you do this ?

Search the scriptures.
“These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.”
Acts 17:11
“These” in the verse above were the Bereans. When taught the made sure what they were being taught was actually in the scriptures and true! A good lesson for us…know your Bible and be sure that what is being taught is in God’s Word!!!!
Are you searching the scriptures?

Are you cured?
We are sinful wicked people! We don’t like to admit it but it is what God tells us in His Word.
“The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?”
Jeremiah 17:9
There is only ONE cure for this sinfulness:
“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.”
1 John 1:7
Are you cured or still afflicted…it comes down to your choice!

No fear!
“The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?”
Psalms 27:1
When you are right with God through the shed blood of Jesus, you should have no fear of man because you are in the hand of God! A child of His and He will bring you home to Himself! Our Heavenly Father is the only One you should have a healthy fear of because He Is God!!!

Training
“ train yourself to be godly.”
1 Timothy 4:7c
In our Bible study we talked about this verse. To be very good at something you must train very hard and be disciplined. So let me ask you…how hard are you training to be godly???
Chew on that today and be honest with yourself!
Tom
How to act!
“Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;”
Colossians 3:12
As followers of Jesus we in this verse are told how we are to act towards others.
1. Holy-like God himself
2.Beloved-deployed and cherished by God.
3.Merciful-giving others the same mercy God gave us.
4.Kind
5.Humble- putting others before yourself.
6.Meek-humbly submissive to God’s will
7.Longsuffering which is patient as God is with us.
Ask yourself if these characteristics describe you as a follower of Jesus? If so…awesome! If not we got work to do!
