Most often, our self-centerness gets in the way of serving God.

Your service is to God, not for yourself.

God’s will, not yours.

I Peter 3:17 (KJV) – for it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.

Salt and sugar look the same.

So does a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Know the diffence between the truth of God, and the lies of satan.

Matthew 7:15 (KJV) – beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Give thanks to God in everything!

It is his will for you.

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

We often praise others when they do good things for us, especially on on social media.

When was the last time you praised God for the good He has done for you?

Where do you think the goodness from others came from in the first place!

Psalm 107:21 (KJV) – oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men.

You’ll know you’re favored, when your enemies are at peace with you.

The catch – to those whose ways are pleasing to God.

Proverbs 16:7 (KJV) – when a man’s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

Would you like to never suffer for wrong doing?

Before you answer, consider yourself and the person who wrong you.

Show mercy. Show grace.

Galatians 6:1 (KJV) – brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

Whatever wrong we do, it will come back upon us. No one is excluded.

Therefore, if you’re wishing wrong to those who have wronged you. . . you’re included.

Colossians 3:25 (KJV) – but he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

God cannot tell a lie. Satan cannot tell the truth.

But, you do both.

Hebrews 6:18 (KJV) – that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us.

John 8:44 (KJV) – ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Without repentance, most play hide-and-go-see with their sins.

No matter where you hide, your sin will find you.

Numbers 32:23 (KJV) – but if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out.
