When one swears to another, they want to prove their word is true.

You are not to swear.

Trust in the Lord.

Blessed are you, who does.

We are free in Christ.

That doesn’t mean to use your freedom for the lust of the flesh.

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.

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.

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.

Wisdom is key. We are to get it and apply it.

And with everything you get, get understanding.

Proverbs 4:7 (KJV) – wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
