We live our lives thinking we don’t need God.

You can do nothing without Him.

John 15:5 (KJV) – I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

We examine others and put them under the microscope.

You should be examining yourself.

I Corinthians 13:5 (KJV) – examine yourselves,  whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Long life comes with obedience.

Keep God’s commandments.

Proverbs 3:1-2 (KJV) – my son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandements: for length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

Your body is God’s temple.

I Corinthians 3:16 (KJV) – know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

We are to thank God for everything!

That’s EVERYTHING!!

I Thessalonians 5:18 (KJV) – in every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Jesus didn’t die for some of us or a choosen few.

He died for all of us.

That means you too.

Romans 5:8 (KJV) – but God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

We dont always know what to pray for or how to pray.

God got you!

He sent the Holy Spirit to intervene on your behalf.

Romans 8:26 (KJV) – likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groaning which cannot be uttered.

Doubt causes you to lose your faith and believe based on the circumstances.

When that’s the case, you’re all over the place.

James 1:6 (KJV) – but let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

God is our hope, and we are to trust Him.

When you do, you’ll be able to withstand the harshest of times and still prosper.

Jeremiah 17:7-8 (KJV) – blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the rivers, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither show cease from yielding fruit.
