Be Careful! • Joshua 23:11

There seem to be inconsequential moments in history. From one day to the next, millions of things will happen that never really appear to alter the course of things. However, as you look down into the microcosm of our lives, surprisingly, little things can herald immeasurable consequences. It’s so important for us to exercise discernment and wisdom. We can’t afford to cater to compromise and capitulate in our convictions before the Lord and His people. Like Joshua, we must ‘take careful heed to ourselves,’ in our lives, in our loves, and in our examples towards others.

Pleasing God • 1 Chronicles 29:14

Our tendency is to give importance to earthly things rather than to God. We are created to praise, worship, and bring pleasure to Jesus. Instead, we worship and give priority to the created things over the Creator. Since God so loved us that He gave His only Son for us, we are to love our Lord with all our heart, mind, and strength. All that we are and have comes from God and belongs to God. Therefore, we must live our lives to bring glory and pleasure to Him “...For all things come from You, and of Your own we have given You.” (1 Chronicles 29:14)

Problem or Solution? • Proverbs 16:18-20

Where there are people, there are problems, but where there are problems, there are solutions. Now, we are all people, but the question is whether we are part of the problem or the solution. A life without Jesus is a problem- a pride problem. Proverbs says that pride comes before destruction. As stated above, where there are problems, there are solutions and Jesus is the answer to this problem: Surrendering our life to Him not only prevents us from destruction, it also makes us part of the solution. Now, don’t keep that to yourself, help others become part of the solution!

Who God Values • 1 Corinthians 1:26-31

In our world, the list of “who’s who” points to people that are very famous, important, and successful. A lot of times, the person who has the most fame, influence, and reputation, is most sought after and considered most important. God’s love is real and so different, that it seeks out the weak, the foolish, and the base. This helps us to see that God will love anyone and everyone who comes in humility, repentance, and surrender. He seeks all. God is the initiator and anyone in right relationship to Him is the responder. For true life, right response to Jesus is necessary. (1 Corinthians 1:26-31)
