Bible Verse of The Day – 7-11-14

(Revelation 3:16 NKJV)  “So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

Learning how to walk with God takes discipline and sacrifice. There might be things we enjoy that we will have to let go of.

When I was a child going to Sunday school, we sang this song, “be careful little eyes what you see, be careful little ears what you hear, and be careful little hands what you do…because there’s a Father up above And He’s looking down in love”. Not just as children, but as adults as well, we need to be careful.

The things we see, hear and do are the open doors to our heart. These are the doors we need to be protective of, only letting in those things that are good and will keep us on the right path.

Being lukewarm is when we are dabbling a little in things that we know aren’t good for us and also a little with God. We don’t commit to one or the other.

This kind of behavior can cause us to become desensitized to the things that are not good for us, and before we know it, we are heading down the wrong path and our relationship with our family, friends, and those that we were once close with, including God, begins to change.

Be careful and alert to the things we are not supposed to be watching, listening to and participating in. It does affect our walk with God and the protection on our lives as Christians.

(John 14:23 NKJV)  Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-4-13

(Philippians 4:8 NKJV)  Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy; meditate on these things.

There are so many things that can occupy our thoughts. It’s easy to get caught up in thoughts that aren’t pleasing to God.

As followers of Christ, we need to keep track of what influences our thoughts and take charge of those things, in the name of Jesus.

Are we seeing things on TV, in magazines, on the internet or in movies that aren’t pure?

Are we hearing things on the radio, in conversations or in other places that are causing us to think things that aren’t pleasing to God?

Days fly by and it can sometimes be hard to keep track of everything. But let’s make a serious effort to do what God asks of us. Let’s watch and listen for those things that are offensive to God and do what is necessary to kick them out of our thought life.

Today, spend time thinking on things that are pure, true, lovely and so much more.
