We brag on ourselves all the time. But it is not for us to do so.

Let others brag and boast on you.

Proverbs 27:2 (KJV) – let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.

I Peter 4:16 (KJV) – but now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.

When something is borrowed to you, that does not mean you own it. It’s a loan, you have to return it.

Your body is not your own. It’s a loan.

One day, you’ll have to return it.

I Corinthians 6:19 (KJV) – what? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

When you do a good deed to help others, not to be seen by others, God will reward you in public.

When you do a good deed to help others, just to be seen by others, whatever you receive, that is all the reward you get.

Whatever you do, do it unto God, your reward is so much greater.

Matthew: 6:2 (KJV) – therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Most shop according to popluar name brands and wear those names proudly.

Why? They want to be known by the brand they wear.

There’s one name that so many are ashamed of.

If you’re ashamed of God, Jesus will be ashamed of you.

Mark 8:38 (KJV) – whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

We all may not be on the same level of knowledge as the next person, when it comes to the word of God.

But, don’t be too quick to dismiss it. One day, you’re gonna need it.

I Peter 2:2-3 (KJV) – as newborn babies, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: if so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

Hebrews 4:16 (KJV) – let us therefore come bodly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

So often, we want to help those that help themselves.

Not often do we help those that are less fortunate.

But when you do, you have done it to God.

Matthew 25:40 (KJV) – and the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

What we do comes from our heart.

Therefore, guard it. It’s your life.

Proverbs 4:23 (KJV) – keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Satan plays unkind thoughts in our mind, and we allow it. Most often, those unkind thoughts play like movies, and we don’t think to stop them.

You have authority over your unkind thoughts. Cast them down with the word of God.

II Corinthians 10:5 (KJV) – casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

Proverbs 23:7 (KJV) – for as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

We don’t know what tomorrow may bring. But we say, what we’re going to do, as though tomorrow is guaranteed.

You should say; “if it be thy will, I will do ____”.

Proverbs 27:1 (KJV) – boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest no what a day may bring forth.

I Peter 4:15 (KJV) – for that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

We very seldom want to wait on something that we so desperately desire.

Wait on God and you will receive what you could never imagine.

Just wait!

Isaiah 64:4 (KJV) – for since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
