Continue to Do Good Regardless of Your Audience

And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Galatians 6:9 NKJV

*Sometimes you grow tired of doing certain things, especially when the behavior is not reciprocated. However, if no one else acknowledges it, please know that God sees you. Allow the attention of the Most High to be the strength that keeps you going...Pleasing Him should be your focus, and He is ultimately the rewarder of those who serve Him with gladness.

Hope

For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance. Romans 8:24‭-‬25 NKJV

*What we hope for and desire should go beyond what we see...Tap more into the supernatural capabilities of God, and believe in receiving what goes beyond your imagination. People simplify God based on what they know and have experienced...People also don't give Him enough credit. You believe for the impossible in one area, but limit Him in others. I say we must train ourselves to constantly believe for the impossible, and put our faith into action.

What Did God Say to You?

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 NKJV

*No matter what people do, what you see, and how you feel be strong and encouraged. You know what God promised you, and what He told you to do despite any circumstance. It's our job to rise above things that shouldn't matter to replace them with the promises of God. Forget the rest...Walk boldly in what He told you...

Sexual Connection

Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. I Corinthians 7:1‭-‬3 NKJV

*Notice it says have your own husband and your own wife..Not have your own boyfriend or girlfriend. Also, each roll in sexually connecting is gender specified.  Don't get caught up in what the world depicts as ok in satisfying your sexual hunger. Secure yourself, guilt and negative consequence free, in God.

Actions Speak Louder than Words

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. James 3:13 NKJV

*Wisdom is indicated, and not just stated. Anyone can offer advice and sound good, but do they walk out the wisdom that God gave them? Do they progress as much as they pass on verbally?

The Art of Restoration

Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Galatians 6:1‭-‬2 NKJV

*Notice how the word tells us to gently restore the person. Many believers have lost the art of gentleness. Instead they throw the book at others while they are in hiding with their sin, or go off on someone in order to shame them into what you think they should be doing. I think the saddest course of action is just ignoring people who fall short all together, and not wanting to "involve" yourself in the restoration process. This is why it is important to be led on how to handle people, and to have a heart of empathy. Otherwise, you may be doing more harm than help in "the name of the Lord."

God Will Serve "It" to You

All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. John 6:37 NKJV

*This is so true...All that God has ever given to me has come to me, and I never had to chase it. I grow tired, weary, annoyed, and concerned like the next person. The difference is that I don't hold on to that, I trust God, & I won't give up. God is too real and awesome for that....#HoldOn2HisPromises

Leave It to God

Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! Psalms 46:10 NKJV

*Sometimes we need to remember who God is, and the fact that He always has everything under control. We don't have to do anything extra when we trust Him, & allow Him to guide us. People of this world have different plans to get them through...Ones that take more work, but as a believer what don't have to do what everyone else is doing when you trust in God.
