Today I will be giving 4 short "WORD for the DAY".
I HOPE THAT YOU WILL REALLY PONDER OVER WHAT WAS WRITTEN FOR OUR BENIFIT.
#26
We are never going to find out what pleases the HOLY SPIRIT
until we care more about hearing from HIM than we do about
getting our way.
"You who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city,
and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit." Yet
you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow.
You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes
away. Instead, you ought to say, "If the LORD wills, we will live and also
do this or that." (JAMES 4:13-15.)
#28
Some people demand their rights. But where in the Bible does it say
we have rights?
God is sovereign---He even decides when we live and when we die.
We don't have any rights other than what He gives to us.
"Woe to the one who quarrels with his Maker---an earthenware vessel
among the vessels of earth! Will the clay say to the potter, "What are
you doing?" (ISAIAH 45:9.)
#25
The one thing Satan does not want you to do is pray. If he can keep
you busy, anxious, and distracted enough---if he can keep you off
your knees and away from GOD--- then he doesn't care what else
you do.
"If you remain in me and My words remain in you, ask whatever
you wish, and it will be done for you."" (JOHN 15:7 NIV.)
#27
Satan not only attacks our concentration in prayer, but he attacks
our faith as well. As long as we pray without authority, doubts can
slip in. Our enemy will do everything in his power to increase our
doubts and destroy our faith.
"Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.
Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand
firm against the schemes of the devil. (EPHESIANS 6:10-11.)
I HOPE THAT YOU WILL REALLY PONDER OVER WHAT WAS WRITTEN FOR OUR BENIFIT.
