I've gotta be the stronger influence, i mustn't let the people around me affect the way i think or feel! I must stand strong and firm on the character of Christ in me and not be easily swayed by what other's opinion or the the way they act are.. It's so easy to be influnced by the things of this world and not of God, by the tv, by common cultures or traditions that we have been brought up with. Even for Christians both old and young, many have been too used to the world that we're living in and have unknowingly one way or another been wrapped up or entangled by the things of this world. Many churches, and friends that are i have who are Christians, they call themselves Christians and seem mature and know so much about the Bible, yet by the life that they live, they fail to see that they have become part of this world.. following the cultures, traditions, and trends that people of this world follow. We are called to be God's holy people, set apart for Him, and our actions speak louder than words. We can preach to others and teach others all these great things about the Bible and how to live life, but if the next moment we're spotted doing what everyone else is, we will lose all respect and credibilty. You don't see pastors giving a great sermon on a sunday service at church, and the next day find him at a bar or pub drinking.. it just doesn't match, and they don't go together. How we act and what we do should be influnced only by one person and one thing, that is Jesus and the Bible. Jesus never went to parties to get drunk, He never gambled, and never fooled around with people.. All He ever did was to do the work of His father, and spent every moment of His life training up disciples.
We need to have a total brainwash and renewal of mind, to forget and erase everything that we have been taught by this world and brought up with, especially all these traditions and cultures that we were brought up with. The only tradition and culture we should keep and follow is the one from the Bible, and nothing else.
Oh God, help me to love You like You have loved me, because when i have truly loved You with the love that You have. Because then everything that i do for You will be easy, because i would love the things that You love, and find joy in the things that You find joy in. Teach me Your ways, that i may live a life full of Your purpose.
Day 115.
David wanted to build a house for the ark of God to be in, but God spoke to the prophet Nathan who then spoke to David saying that David will not be the one to build God a house, but instead on of his sons will build the house instead. When David heard that, he started giving thanks to God for all the things that God had done for him, and all the promises that God had said He would do for his house in the future. All that God has promised to do for Israel and David was fulfilled, God will do what He says, and His promises will always come to fulfillment.
Psalm 2:10-12
10 Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry,
And you perish in the way,
When His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.
Yes! Blessed are those who put their trust in Him! We are blessed because our trust IS in God!
A good verse for our church! Isaiah 54:2
2 “ Enlarge the place of your tent,
And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings;
Do not spare;
Lengthen your cords,
And strengthen your stakes.
Forever i am Yours, and You are mine..
