When one swears to another, they want to prove their word is true.
You are not to swear.
Matthew 5:34 (KJV) – but I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne.

Blessed
Trust in the Lord.
Blessed are you, who does.
Psalm 84:12 (KJV) – O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
You Are Free
We are free in Christ.
That doesn’t mean to use your freedom for the lust of the flesh.
But to serve others in love.
Galatians 5:13 (KJV) – for, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
Good Things
We all want good things. Yet, some don’t want to do what it takes to get them.
Walk in the ways of The Lord, and He will not withhold anything good from you.
Psalm 84:11 (KJV) – for the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
Not Of It
Christians . . . are in this world, not of this world.
John 17:16 (KJV) – they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Great Gain
If you have godliness with contentment, you have great gain.
I Timothy 6:6 (KJV) – but godliness with contentment is great gain.
Reap The Benefits
There are rewards in waiting on God, to them who intentionally seek him.
Stop depending on yourself. Wait on God and reap the benefits.
Lamentations 3:25 (KJV) -the Lord is good unto them that wait on him, to the soul that seeketh him.
Take It With You
We attach ourselves to material things, not realizing they are only temporary.
You can’t take it with you when you leave this world.
I Timothy 6:7 (KJV) – For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
Don’t Do Them
When we hear the word of God and don’t do them, we make our lives so much worst for ourselves.
Matthew 7:26-27 (KJV) – and every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the wind’s blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
The Broad Way
There are so many that are followers of this world. That’s why, the way to it, is so much wider.
Which leads to destruction.
Matthew 7:13 (KJV) – enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat.
Get It or Get Got!
