Let us all Remember, that this life, and our Faith, is not a game. We cant just dress up our lives to look good, but really not have pure motives. God sees everything, and knows our hearts. Not that we won’t make mistakes, but that we do walk in faith. It is Jesus who makes us right before a Holy God, and the Holy Spirit, who strengthens us to persevere, and be faithful. One day we will be made perfect, but until then, may we be filled with the spirit, humbled by the gift of salvation, through Faith, and walk with confidence that God loves us. May we show that same love to others today and every day.
Every man’s way is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts.
Proverbs 21:2 NASB

If you are the center of your own universe, ie you worship yourself, how will you ever, find the one true God. If this is you, Jesus, is the only way to finding God! Praying your eyes will be opened to this truth, just as ours were opened when WE were blind. Thank you all, who follow me, and listen to what the Lord puts on my heart to share. You are a blessing to me, and encouragement.
A fool does not delight in understanding, But only in revealing his own mind.
Proverbs 18:2 NASB

God hates the proud heart, so we are to walk in humility. We do this, by be filled with his spirit, knowing God’s Word, and trusting in his sovereignty, that his plan is best, even when we don’t understand it. When the time is right, our God will lift us up. This whole chapter is a great one to study, as well as James 1 (my favorite), to better understand, going through trials. Jesus, may we walk in humility today, and every day. Your will and timing is perfect, and we submit to you. Amen.
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time,
1 Peter 5:6 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/1pe.5.6.NASB
Jesus was saying to the Jews, this Gentile Roman centurian had more faith than you have shown me! Read the story in Matt 8:5-10.
Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel.
Matthew 8:10 NASB

To those who are at the top of the mountain. BEWARE! It is God who has brought you to this place, and God who will knock you down, if you don’t give him your praise and service. Thank you Lord, for this reminder, of how easily, our wicked hearts can deceive us, if we are not filled with your word, and your spirit.
Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling.
Proverbs 16:18 NASB

This was a response from God, for being outwardly religious, but inwardly wicked. All our hearts are inherently wicked, but Jesus sent his spirit, and his word, to help us change our hearts. If our hearts are changed, then our actions will overflow with pure motives. This would be a great life verse, don’t you think? God Bless, Alan
I want you to stop and think about this, with me for a minute. Jesus’s way, is not the world’s way. We are called to Love our enemies, not destroy and overcome, like the worldly view. We overcome with Love and Compassion, just as Jesus did. Think about an enemy, or someone you are at war (there is strife of some sort) with right now. Show compassion and love to them, but don’t do it to get something. Do it because that is how Jesus did it. The rest is not up to us. God Bless you today.
Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
LUKE 6:36 NASB

Lord, may our hearts humbly bow before you, in persistent prayer. May we be alert, to the needs of others, so we might lift them up. Reveal yourself to us, through answered prayer, even though it may not be, what we wanted the outcome to be. May we always remember, that you care about us and love hearing our petitions.
Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving;
COLOSSIANS 4:2 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.4.2.NASB
God……became man, humbling himself, and being obedient to his calling, even unto death. He did this for all who would believe in Jesus, and his perfect sacrifice, that we could never offer up. Thank you Jesus, and may we Love, in a similar fashion, and tell all those, the good news!
Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
