Contentment

How do you find true peace and contentment in life?

Isaiah 26:3 "You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, whose thoughts are fixed on you!"

Genuine peace is found only in a trusting relationship with the Lord.  Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of God.

Be Blessed by the reading of His word!

Keep Yourself From Idols of The World

1 John 5:19-21 says, "We know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.  And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ.  This is the true God, and eternal life.  Little children, keep yourselves from idols."  Amen.

This scripture talks about the wickedness of the whole world and the many things and people who can distract us from walking in an right attitude of worship.  When you don't place God first in your life, and allow someone or something else to consume your relationship with God, that is called idolatry.  If you are worshipping someone or something else, you have placed them first in your life and not your Father.  Jesus must and should always be your first priority. 

Ask yourself, who and what has captured my heart?  Be honest with yourself today.  Is there anything or anyone else who gets more of your attention than Jesus?  If so, it's time to remove them or it away from being first place in your life.  Acknowledge Jesus in everything you think, say and do!

Choose What's Best

1 Corinthians 6:12 says, "Everything is permissible allowable and lawful for me; but not all things are helpful good for me to do, expedient and profitable when considered with other things.  Everything is lawful for me, but I will not become the slave of anything or be brought under its power."

Today, take time and reflect on where you are in God.  Once you have done that you're able to pray and ask God to increase that area of weakness.  Ask Him to free you from your old ways and old way of thinking.  He will replace it with something that will be helpful and fruitful.  Keep in mind that the Holy Spirit is able to guide you, teach you, and comfort you.  With His help you are able to "Choose What's Best"!

Sonship Through The Spirit

"Therefore, brethren, we are debtors not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.  For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.  For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, Abba, Father.  The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs - heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together'.  (Romans 8:12-17)
