Though we may talk a good talk, actions speak louder than words. Walking the walk of a Christian is what will draw people to the Lord. People was to see if you are who you say you are.

There should be no debate or dispute on who was the greatest motivator of all time because we all know who it was; however, whether or not we choose to believe in Him and follow His example is an individual decision.

We must stay alert spiritually, to be able to decern truth from a lie, light from darkness, and the real from the counterfeit.

We should be careful to be mindful of our place in the Kingdom of God. We will at no point be able to predict our own future or live successfully without Him. He is sovereign; therefore, James tells us that “If the Lord wills, then we will be able to do this or that.”

When we have disagreements, which is a part of life, we should stop and take a moment before reacting in a negative way. When we allow the Lord to guide us, there can be harmony and peace even with differences of opinions.

The scripture tells us that if we continue to add to our faith, virtue, steadfastness, self-control, godliness, and brotherly love, they will help to keep us from being nearsighted. When we live only focused upon ourselves, we can become blind to the world around us, physically and spiritually.

God deals in fair weights and with equity, and He always blesses us above and beyond what we actually ask for.

We are the New Testament church. We have what the world needs to be saved. We must not keep it hidden but start sharing it! It is God’s will that ALL should be saved.

Knowing what our responsibilities and how a little about how to fulfill them, takes some of the guess work out of our day-to-day tasks in the Kingdom. We have been assured a harvest by God if we sow the seed of His Word, but we must not become weary and faint.

When we realize that we are not in competition with one another, it will take away the struggle and disharmony and repair our relationships.

There are many decisions we have to make as we navigate through the stormy seas of life; therefore, we need to always choose Christ first and foremost in our lives. This will help make the subsequent choices that we will have to make much easier.

We have the power to make our life count and be worth recording for others to read and learn from, just as the writers of the scriptures did. They were not perfect, and yet their accounts of redemption and overcoming are what makes their stories so valuable to us.

Though the truth does hurt at times, it is usually shared to assist us. We must be willing to hear the word of the Lord and obey it no matter the spokesman or woman that is bringing the message to us.

Trying to be like others all of the time and worrying about what others think is just exhausting. We need to accept ourselves for who we are and enjoy life. It is okay to be different and unique. That is how we were created to be.

Fear and dread can cause us to live in doubt and stop us in our tracks, when we are meant to walk by faith and live in victory. If we cast all of our care upon Him, he will set us free.

The scripture tells us that God is a God of justice, equity and fairness; therefore, we should not question his methods or his decisions, but trust that He has our best interest at heart.

Things can busy and crazy in our lives, but there must come a point where we stop just patching things temporarily and resolve to get the job done correctly. Though time, effort and money may be spent, it is well worth getting things done right!

Though movies about time travel are fun to watch and often have intriguing plots, we know there is no such thing as a time machine. As we see from these depictions, if we did go back to a certain point in time and change something we did or said, it would then affect everything thereafter. If we live the life we have been given to the fullest, then we will not live with regrets, nor with the feeling that we need to go back. This is possible when we give God control.

When we become a family, we are in this thing called life together for better or worse. We live, laugh, love, cry, and grieve together. Knowing someone has our backs makes it all worthwhile and doable, and adding Jesus into the equation, is the glue that holds everything together.

There may be something to the saying, ‘It’s not what you know, but who you know.’ Networking is not a new concept and was very prevalent in Bible times. We all need each other, and we definitely need to know and be known of the King of kings and the Lord of lords.

When reading the Word of God, He does not lead us to believe that everything is going to be peaches and cream all the time, but he does give us promises that He will see us through every step of the way.

Think about not only what you say, but what you do. Non-verbal communication can often speak louder than words. If we would allow God to do his job and go about our day just showing mercy as we have also received mercy from Him, we would be much more content and need less doctor’s visits!

If we would take a moment to look around us, we would see that the blessings of God on our lives would be innumerable. May we make this our normal practice daily rather than always being a moaner, groaner and complainer. God is good!

The Comeback King God is not waiting to hit us over the head with a Billy club when we mess up. The Word of God says, “…He is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” God is in the business of restoration.
