Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord
READ, LINGER, PROCESS…
When one’s ego is inflated, one is without integrity.
Kill… your… ego (and kill your TV while you’re at it).
If this old house could speak, its stones would cry out from the walls, and the rafters would answer them from the woodwork.
Flaming arrows, shining spears, and chariots of fire…
“And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass” (Zechariah 6:1).
Beautiful imagery.
The mind that acknowledges God sees His high standard and becomes aware of the distance between worldliness and divine righteousness. The Lord is totally contrary to man. Man is a contradictory fool. To acknowledge the Lord as God is to realize God has a plan.
The Lord longs to dwell among His people, the ones chosen for that purpose.
Is God at the outer edge of your awareness?
It is an encouraging thing for the believer to learn that Christ was seen before His first coming by so many Old Testament prophets. The books of Isaiah, Psalms, and Zechariah, present Christ the Messiah long before His first arrival without knowing His identity.
The superiority of Biblical truth is unmatched in all the annals of religion and intellectuality.
We are neither mistake-proof nor sinless—do not look to each other for perfection. Look to Christ.
We all struggle against our flesh. No individual is free of this personal struggle. Therefore, we all disappoint each other and we all fall short of God’s glory (perfection). We should be careful not to put too much trust in others. Be faithful to the Lord.
It is amazing when one person stands up against wrong and others are too weak in God’s word to do the same—too weak to stand up for what is right.
Let the Lord make a difference in your life so you are prepared to make a difference in the lives of others. Let the Lord give you a place to stand for what is right—a place to stand up for his truth.
Give a person religion without Christ and the result will be arrogance on an ego trip.
Faith: Always looking to heaven, even while walking through the fires of life on earth.
There is a delicious gladness, a taste of delight in every word of God.
We are more than spiritually bankrupt, we are spiritually dead. A dead man cannot save himself.
The perspective of life is enshrined in God’s Word.
At salvation, a fresh stream begins to flow into a stagnant pool.
Heavenly Hosts
Divine escorts at our side,
unseen hosts to be our guide,
safely dwell in God’s hand of fate,
till the dawning of Heaven’s gate.
