Give Attention To My Words

PROVERBS 4:20-22 NKJ 20 My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. 21 Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; 22 For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh.

Giving attention to God’s Word is not as easy as it once was. Today we have a multitude of distractions. Busyness seems to be a disease shared by everyone. We all have more than we can do.

Yet …

God doesn’t change. His Word doesn’t change. It still says the same thing it did a thousand years ago – and it will still say the same thing a thousand years from now.

“Give attention to my words….”

We are confronted with a choice. What is most important? To what shall we give our limited time? God, or….?

God makes promises no one else does – or can. He created, so He knows how things work.

Life. Life in its fullness. Life as God intended it to be. And health. Isn’t that what everyone would like? That is the written guarantee offered by God to the human race – for paying attention to what He has said.

SAY THIS: I choose to pay attention to God’s Word. I choose life and health. I choose God.

Repent Means Change Your Beliefs

MATTHEW 4:17 NKJ 17 From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” The word “repent” as used in the New Testament, means to have a change of thinking, which results in a change of action. Repent does not mean to ask forgiveness. You could ask for forgiveness all day and never repent. Repent does not mean to have regret, remorse, or sorrow. You could be remorseful, full of sorrow, and regret greatly what you have done, yet never repent. Repent does not mean to “shape up” and “live right.” Of course, the right kind of repentance should cause your actions to change so that you will be living right. But repent does not mean “to live right.” It is even possible to quit a sin without repenting. People can quit a sin (at least temporarily) for many reasons. For example, the danger of being caught. That does not mean they have changed their thinking regarding the sin. Repentance has to do with your beliefs, not primarily your actions. Do ...

Life Can Be Tough

JOHN 16:33 ICB 33 “I told you these things so that you can have peace in me. In this world you will have trouble. But be brave! I have defeated the world!” Jesus never promised us that everything would be perfect here on earth. He recognized that we would encounter trouble. But His instructions were to be of good cheer – not to let it get us down. As we encounter difficulties in life, it will help us to remember the big picture. First, God is our Father and has a wonderful eternal plan for us. We are His children and He loves us. Second, this time is but a training period for our future life with God. We are supposed to be learning to trust God and to obey Him. So, every problem we ever face is an opportunity to walk in faith and please God. Every problem is an opportunity to overcome with God’s help. How can we expect to receive the blessings promised to the overcomer if we never have anything to overcome? What is the answer when we seem overwhelmed with trouble? Look to Jesus. He...

What Is Faith?

ROMANS 1:17 ESV 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” Since the Bible reveals that we, who have been made righteous by receiving Jesus Christ, are to live by faith, we need to know what faith is. Faith is what you believe. In the New Testament, faith is the noun form and believe is the verb form of the same word. Faith is not difficult to understand. If you believe something, that is your faith. Faith and belief are the same thing. A belief is something you have accepted as truth and consider to be true, whether it is actually true or not. Faith is not a feeling, attitude, outlook, or state. Faith is primarily a choice, a decision of your will. Nothing can force you to believe. What you believe is a decision you make. Here is a definition: Faith is always a decision, based on some evidence, resulting in some action. So faith is when you are persuaded by the evidence you have been presented, ...
