Don’t wait until it is too late to get help about an issue that is bothering you. So many times we can not get help right away when we need it. We need to be able to accept correction when we hear people telling us what they don’t like about our behavior. God is looking to change us, but remember that He may rebuke and chastise us as we read in Revelation 3:19, “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.” Chasten means to discipline us or to cause misfortune. There may be times when Jesus allows something unfortunate in our life to change our heart and behavior. God wants to free us from sin, and He does when we continue in His word. Don’t wait until Sunday to hear from God. Listen to God’s word everyday. Don’t wait to forgive someone, but learn to practice what the Bible is preaching. We need to get wisdom to navigate life’s challenges. If your marriage is in need of repair, get marriage books but also ask God to help you, and ask professionals for advice. Marriage is just an example to say that with any problem search for an answer, and when there is no answer, search for what to do with no answer. Don’t wait, call on the name of the Lord today.
Master The Basics
Have you ever thought that life seems to be about more than just what we see and do, but grasping the more concept is out of reach? Have you ever said, maybe we are meant for more? I know I have heard time and time again people saying that they feel like they are meant for more and I believe it is true. I believe God from His parable about the wise managers, He wants us to be faithful in a little and then we can be faithful in much. So many times we get up, brush or teeth, wash our body, and get ready for the day, but we feel like this is somewhat unnecessary. Well, Jesus wants us to take care of the little things, do well with what we have, and then He can give us more. How many times are we getting upset or angry over something small, and then wonder why life is not paying off. We need to rise above our human nature and live like Jesus and be like Jesus!
