If you constantly analyse what others do, you’ll always find fault. Instead of judging others, why don’t you allow God to let you know the various things that aren’t going on well in your life so you can deal with them?
We live in a world that is constantly evolving new things. That means ideas are at the forefront of many people’s minds. And that’s not a problem. But some people are vain talkers. These are those who deceive others with empty words as promises but do nothing in the end. Beware of those people. Not everything that glitters is gold.
Be on guard every day, especially in what you hear online. It is not everyone who preaches the gospel preaches the truth. Do not give attention to anyone who does not acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God, for that person is a liar. Guard your ears and eyes, lest you be deceived by false messiahs.
The Bible says in Romans 12:14 that you must bless those who persecute you and not curse them. God knows how easy it is to curse instead of blessing anyone who makes your life miserable. That is why He inspired Paul to emphasise “bless” twice in that same verse.
Please be careful to speak nicely to people you meet, especially for the first time. Remember that the Bible encourages us to be hospitable to strangers because we don’t know whether we may encounter angels unawares (see Hebrews 13:2). People are valuable; don’t treat them as trash cans.
You are not called to do things people like, but what God tells you to do, which some people will like it and others won’t. Don’t be so bothered by what others say about you.
Beloved, believing in Christ is never a mistake. It is rewarding because Your faith is based on Him, who never dies or is subject to fading with time. Believe and live what the Word says about your life because God will never fail you.
Jesus said, “Consider carefully what you hear… With the measure you use, it will be measured to you—and even more” (see Mark 4:24). That means that you must be careful what you let the windows of your life – your sight and ears, get exposed to because it directly affects your life.
Thoughts and words are powerful. And since they can be heartfelt, keep your heart with all diligence, dear one. Do not allow unnecessary issues to bother you, lest you talk rushingly out of anger and resentment to hurt many more lives.
In your anger, watch what you say. It is better to keep quiet when angry, calm your raging emotions, and pray before responding to people.
Not everyone will like you for what you do, even if you always do the right thing. Sticking to saying the truth will attract enemies from diverse areas – government and even families. So enough of the people-pleasing, and do what God tells you to do.
International Women’s Day comes off each year, and it’s such a special day to celebrate women. On behalf of The Bible Daily Network, I want to honour all women who have laboured and continue to help make this world a better place. Here is an open letter to all women to celebrate this special day.
