Prayer
I reserve a few
minutes for God each day, but how many minutes does God reserve for me each
day? Is it not every minute; morning ,noon, and night. (Psalm 121).
Prayer
Romans 8:26-27 26 In
the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to
pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groaning
too deep for words; 27 and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind
of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will
of God.
Walking in the Spirit
Jere. 17: 5-8 8 Thus
says the Lord, “Cursed is the
man who trusts in mankind And makes flesh his strength, And whose heart
turns away from the Lord. 6
“For he will be like a bush in the desert and will not see when prosperity
comes, But will live in stony wastes in the wilderness, a land of salt
without inhabitant. 7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the
Lord and whose trust is the
Lord. 8 “For he will be like
a tree planted by the water, that extends its roots by a stream and will not
fear when the heat comes; but its leaves will be green, and it will not be
anxious in a year of drought, nor cease to yield fruit.
Perspective
Matthew 23:11-12
11 “But the greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 “Whoever exalts
himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.
Wisdom/Our words/Anger
James 1:19-20 19 This
you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to
speak and slow to anger; 20 for the anger of man does not achieve the
righteousness of God.
Our strength
2 Cor. 12:9
9 And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is
perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my
weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
Temptation
I Cor. 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is
faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but
with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be
able to endure it.
Sovereignty
Matt 22:14 “For many are
called, but few are chosen.
