Meditations on ""

It is difficult for us to believe and admit that our familiar defective way of handling challenging situations is not superior to God’s way.

We need not be troubled or allow doubts to sink us. Jesus is always with us, ready to reach out and help us.

When we give our will and life over to the care of God our sins are forgiven, and we are guaranteed life forevermore with our Heavenly Father. What we need to develop is, knowledge of the wonderful plan God has for our lives, and understanding of how we are to put that plan into action.

Our focus on day-to-day living has to be God’s agenda and giving Him opportunity to work that out in our lives.

As followers of Jesus we represent God in all our interactions. How would Jesus speak or behave towards another person? That answer should be our guide.

God wants us to “get it right.” If we will pay attention to, and obey what we learn from God’s Word, God’s Spirit will lead us on the right path every time.

Only God is patient enough to love us and walk with us through all the twists and turns on the journey we need to take to develop patience.

The all-powerful God who created us and the amazing world in which we live, loves and cares about each one of us. If He is sought, He promises to help us.

Consideration and kindness in all our words and actions will go a long way to helping us establish lasting friendships.

A saying we often hear is, “What goes around comes around.” God’s word brings a positive truth to this saying. His promise is that as we bless others we can expect God to bless us.

The beliefs we form need to be compared with what God says is right and good and not by what is acceptable in our culture.

In order to move from a lifestyle of surviving to one of thriving we must empty ourselves of all that keeps us from living totally dependent on God.
