Drop matters which don’t matter to your life. As you correct those who offend you constructively unto the glory of God, never forget that forgiveness frees you first of guilt than the one who did it. And if you find it hard to forgive, remember how great a debt of sin Jesus has paid for you to receive the gift of salvation for free.
How easy for the whole land of Egypt to criticise Joseph – newly promoted prime minister for storing up food in cities for seven years. They didn’t know famine was coming. But He had revelation of what’s coming. To learn how to save money and resources for your life in the future, ask God for divine revelation for your life years to come.
The bedrock of your faith in Christ is the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. In that, without believing in it, there’s no forgiveness of sins, hence no salvation.
There’s something unique about you that makes you, you. And God’s Word is saying in 1 Peter 4:10 that; serve others with your gift as a faithful steward of such grace.
All the grace you need to live in godly humility is in Christ, not your human strength or strategies. It’s God who works in you, both to will and do his good pleasure (see Philippians 2:13). Hence, it’s not about you but God in you helping you to live in submission to His ways by the direction of the Holy Spirit and the Word.
Always recognise that it’s not about you but God working in you to produce everything you see in your life. God is your Father. He’s your Source and sustainer. He provides the strength to do everything according to His purpose, including the desires that inspire such acts.
We live in an evil age, and too many things compete for human attention. Bear the yoke of Jesus while you’re young by committing to kingdom service. And you’ll never be disadvantaged in life.
God’s compassions never fail. Why? Because they are new every morning. It will never fade.
Yes, you have issues and needs. But you don’t have to use human calculations to solve all of them, especially when disappointed. Turn them over to the Lord. Let Him show you how to go about those problems. You’ll have peace and awesome outcomes.
Had it not been for Peter’s partners, he would have sunk into the sea even though he encountered a miracle, even though Jesus may have prevented that from happening. And because of the importance of this in our lives, pursuing peace with all people is needful.
No matter how many things you’ve done unto God’s kingdom, don’t pride yourself in it. Give credit to grace for everything, casting all the cares before Him. That’s intentional godly humility, and He’ll reward you for that.
When you start to find your identity in what you’ve achieved instead of what God thinks about you, you begin becoming narcissistic. Recognise grace in all your accomplishments, not your human works.
