”Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.“
Psalms 139:23-24
Another couple verses to think hard on. Asking God to search us can be difficult knowing we have issues we need to deal with. But God is the one who can heal anything we struggle with so He is exactly where we need to go. Seek God and be healed by the precious blood of Jesus and then have the promise of eternal life!

”for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’“
Matthew 25:35-36
Think on these verses very hard today. Jesus tells us here when we minister to others it is like we are ministering to Him. He made it a priority to minister to people for the purpose of showing love and sharing that salvation was at hand through Him.
What are we doing to minister to people? Jesus expects us to do so as followers of Him!

”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
As we follow our Lord Jesus and continue to change through the power of the Holy Spirit to conform I to being Christlike our thoughts and what we say should reflect our change! Lord help us to be like you in every area of our lives including our thoughts and what comes out of our mouths!

"Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest." (Matthew 9:38)
We all need to pray this as many souls are lost and need to hear the good news of Jesus Christ. We also need to remember if we are followers of Jesus we are one of the laborers and do our job of sharing the gospel. It is not an option for those who love God and love people for eternity is on the the line!

”But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.“
Galatians 5:22-25
Listed are the fruits we are to develop and live by as followers of Jesus. As told we are to kill our fleshly desires and passions and follow the Spirits leading which leads us to be like Jesus. As we follow the Lord may we grow more each day to be like God desires us to be!!

”Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.“
I John 2:15-17
These verses explain themselves. Now we have to ask ourselves…do we have the love of God in us or are we in love with the world? It is an important answer that we need to answer honestly for it determines if we are right with God or not.
Chew on this today and let God move you where He wants you!
