The Mirror...Who are You?

"Help, Lord, for no one is faithful anymore;
    those who are loyal have vanished" - Psalms 12:1


This verse made me think about the messed up generation we are in. Who knows, their might even be a WW3! David, guided by God's Spirit, was talking about those who worship people as their god. Faithless in God. This is very dangerous because we are an easy target for the Devil. Then we blame God. For something that we did. We chose to Sin. Not God. Only true Christians who mirror Jesus can be called a loyal person. "If anyone hears the Word but does not act upon it, is like someone who has looked in a mirror but after looking in, forget what they look like" - James 1:23-24 

Some of us are like that. We look in the mirror to see Jesus, us, in it and blessings all around us. But within minutes, we forget who we are and continue living against the ways of God. The verse continues: "But the person who looks into the mirror of liberty and God's law and continues to follow it, and is not only hearing the Word but acting upon It, will be blessed in what they do" - James 1:25

 We should remember who we are in Christ and mirror Jesus, who shows us how to be today. "Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever" - Hebrews 13:8. So, if we keep looking, we will continue looking like Jesus!

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!

What makes faith work? Learn MORE about faith in this devotional...

"That according to the riches of His glory, He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith..." - Ephesians 3:16-17 KJV Okay. I wanted to talk a little bit more on faith. When Paul writes 'dwell in your hearts through faith' what does it mean? This means that we have to show our confidence and belief in Christ, before He comes into our hearts. He knows when we want to trick Him or not. So don't bother being cunning! Because wisdom comes from the Lord! So, if our human efforts cannot make faith to work, what can? (Zechariah 4:6) Our confidence and belief in Jesus! We just have to say, "Jesus, take care of this for me. I don't want to any more. I can't do it by my own power." Acknowledging that you can't do it alone, gives you the first step forward. Then comes the hard bit. When I mean hard, I mean HARD. Because most people people fall away aft...

Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...
