#12 Serving in life

One of the best ways to feel fulfilled and happy is to serve others! Many people want to be the leader, but we must first learn to serve. Even after we are in a position of authority, service to others does not stop, in fact, it becomes even more important. Gal 5:13-14 "For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."...

#11 Success in life

What does the Bible say about prosperity and success? How can we live a prosperous and successful life according to the Bible? Joshua 1:8 " This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success." Let’s see what God told Joshua. It is really quite simple. Obey God and delight ourselves in the th...

#10 Attitude in life

Here is a great truth: your attitude will determine how much joy, happiness, peace, and contentment you have. Let’s look at our attitude today. I would like you to examine yourself. Ask yourself “how is my attitude?” This week a certain phrase from the Bible kept going through my mind. This phrase was “renew a right spirit within me.” That is from Psalms 51:10. Let’s read our verse for today: Psa 51:10 "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me." Psalm chapter 51 is w...

#9 Victory in life

As I was reflecting on what to speak about this week, I thought about joy and victory. Why? It seems that there is so much negative and depressing news all around us. Our world is changing fast and it can be discouraging at times. However, through Jesus Christ, and the Bible, you can enjoy peace, joy, and yes victory in your life. I would like to quickly talk about how you can live in victory and not defeat. The book of Romans tells us that after Christ saves us, we are no longer a slave to sin....

#8 What the Lord is to me

Today I would like to look at what the Lord is to those who know him as their personal Saviour. He is my light and salvation, my God, and my life. He is my strength and my song today. Let’s look at those things in more detail. Psa 27:1 "The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" Isa 12:2 "Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become m...

#7 The Love of God

Today I would like us to look at the love of God. Many people have never considered how much God really loves them. Today we will look at four ways God has shown his love towards mankind. Our verses for today are found in John 3:16 and 1 John 3:16. Let’s read those verses. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." And then… 1 John 3:16 "Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he la...

#6 Ye must be born again

Every mature person understands what physical birth is. It’s an amazing miracle when a baby is conceived in a mother’s womb and nine months later a new life comes into the world. Every person has experienced this birth. In John 3:7 Jesus tells Nicodemus “ Ye must be born again.” Nicodemus didn’t understand this. He asked “How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?” Jesus explained that every man must have two births, a physical one (by...

#5 Chastening of the Lord

Today I would like us to look at how the Lord rebukes and chastens his children. This is not a popular topic but it is something we need to consider. If we want to grow as God’s children, then we need to listen to reproofs and correction, and not despise or reject them. Our verse for today is Revelation 3:19: "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent." Even though God loves us, he disciplines us and chastens us. Not everything is OK with God, he disapproves of so...

#4 Being Faithful

Consistency, being faith in the little things, is not an easy thing to do. But that is what makes the difference in life, it is what will bring success in our lives. I can set goals, have a desire to serve God, and even manage my time—but then I have to faithfully do those things every day, week, and month. Let's look at being faithful in our daily lives. Our verse for today is found in Proverbs 20:6: “Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find? ” NOTE: Re...

#3 Redeeming the time

This week, I would like to talk about using our time wisely and not being lazy. We often waste time doing vain things. This does not mean we are not to relax and have fun! For example, I watch one Curious George cartoon every day with my little girl. It is well worth watching a 24-minute episode with her. That is not a waste of time or being lazy! We just need to be careful wasting hours away doing vain things. Let’s read our verses from the Bible for today. Eph 5:15-17 "See then that ye walk ci...

#2 Preparing our heart to serve God

I would like to talk about preparing our hearts to serve God. Last week we looked at having the vision to serve the Lord—it’s important to have some goals in life, and know where you want to go. Let’s continue that thought this week by looking at our heart’s attitude. Our verses for today are found in 1 Chronicles 16:23 and 24. We will also look at some more verses from this chapter. Let’s read 1 Chronicles 16:23-24: "Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.De...

#1 Do you have a vision?

Do you have a vision of how to work for God this year? Do you want to read your Bible more? Pray more? Our verse from the Bible today is found in Proverbs 29:18: “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” We all need a "vision," or plan in our lives if we want to accomplish something for God.
