Making Promises

When you want out of a situation, don’t make promises to God, and don’t keep them.

He will hold you to it.

It is better not to make promises at all.

Ecclesiastes 5:4-5 (KJV) – when thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

Enjoy Your Labor

If we are not enjoying the fruits of our labor, we can’t blame anyone but ourselves.

It is God’s will for you to enjoy all that you’ve worked for.

Ecclesiastes 5:18 (KJV) – behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.

There Is One

You may be the only bible someone may ever read.

Let it be true, and that there is one God, and one mediator between God and men . . . Jesus Christ.

I Timothy 2:5-6 (KJV) – for there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

Be Grounded

When something is grounded, it’s easier to withstand things that come against it.

When you’re grounded in the word of God, its easier to withstand the storms in your lives.

Matthew 7:24-25 (KJV) – therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
