Be careful of pride!

“Therefore, let anyone who thinks he is standing up be careful not to fall.”
1 Corinthians 10:12 CJB

This is an easy trap to fall into! Be careful of thinking that temptation can’t over take you! Just because you may have been a believer for 20, 30, or even 40 years that you can’t stumble! Honestly this is one of the biggest traps for older believers, thinking they are somehow immune to sin!

“The pride of man will be bowed down, the arrogance of men will be humiliated, and when that day comes, Adonai alone will be exalted.”
Isaiah 2:17 CJB

God, will deal with the pride and arrogance of man! So for now it’s best to keep yourself in check and see if there is any wicked, arrogant or prideful thing in you.

“Examine me, God, and know my heart; test me, and know my thoughts. See if there is in me any hurtful way, and lead me along the eternal way.”
Psalm 139:23-24 CJB

Today, let Adonai search our hearts and let’s be careful of thinking that we are more than what we have been made to be by God! We are all sinners in need of a Savior (Yeshua)!
May your day be richly blessed!

Run to win

“Don’t you know that in a race all the runners complete, but only one wins the prize? So then, run to win!”
1 Corinthians 9:24 CJB

Are we running the race of Salvation to win? In an athletic event only one can win! But in a spiritual race we all can win, we just need to run to win! Don’t be complacent, but be bold!

“Be strong, be bold; for you will cause this people to inherit the land I swore to their fathers I would give them.”
Joshua 1:6 CJB

We can look at the land as running the race to win souls for Adonai! We need to share the Good News of Salvation everywhere and anywhere we can! Win ground for Adonai!

“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you; don’t be distressed, for I am your God. I give you strength, I give you help, I support you with My victorious right hand.”
Isaiah 41:10 CJB

Today, let’s not focus on the obstacles we face, but instead let’s focus on the race we have before us, sharing His Good News to win the lost!
Have a blessed day sharing about Yeshua!

Be an encourager

“However watch out that your mastery of the situation does not become a stumbling block to the weak.”
1 Corinthians 8:9 CJB

This can be a problem for many believers, that they have knowledge and maybe a better understanding of scripture, but instead of using it to encourage they end up discouraging weaker believers!

“Y’honatan (Jonathan) Shaul’s son set out and went to David at Horesh to encourage him in God.”
1 Samuel 23:16 CJB

When we have knowledge of scripture and are mature, we should use that knowledge and maturity to edify and encourage others in Adonai!

“Teach me Your way, Adonai; lead me on a level path and guide me for Your name’s sake.”
Psalm 31:3 CJB

As Adonai leads and encourages you in His ways, look for opportunities to lead and encourage others in His ways also!
May your day be richly blessed!

Paid in full

“You were bought at a price, so do not become slaves of other human beings.”
1 Corinthians 7:23 CJB

How amazing that God so loved us that, He paid the price that we should have! He jumped on the grenade of death and destruction and sacrificed Himself so we can have life everlasting! So don’t become a slave to the world that doesn’t really love you!

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only and unique Son, so that everyone who trusts in Him may have eternal life, instead of being utterly destroyed.”
John 3:16 CJB

This, by far, is one of the most quoted New Testament verses. Even unbelievers know this verse! Realize God created the world and us and He loves us so much that He gave all, His son, so we won’t be destroyed! All we have to do is believe!

“And then, whoever calls on the name of Adonai will be saved.”
Acts 2:21 CJB

Today, let’s realize how much God loves us, which should lead us to simply trust and believe in Him!
May your day be richly blessed!
