Stop - Day 2 - Complaining

We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise. - 2 Corinthians 10:12

 Note: I have started a STOP series (Day 1 yesterday) that will help you stop or learn more about many sinful habits that even Christians have. It will also serve as a reminder of God's Word to people. Day 3 is tomorrow!

People who are always comparing themselves to others are not wise. Why? Because, if you are comparing yourself to a non-Christian, you have something better! You have something better! The life of God! God himself has come to live in you, he works in you and has saved you! Jesus is working inside of you and has given you His Name which is greater and more powerful than any other! Comparing ourself to worldly things is worthless!  You may be comparing yourself because you are suffering. Here's an uplifting scripture to meditate on:
“We have sufferings now. But the sufferings we have now are nothing compared to the great glory that will be given to us.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:18‬ ‭

I hope that helped. Make sure you don't give in to the great temptation of comparing yourself to others of the world and maybe even Christians! Use your talents for God's glory and always remember: God knows why, just follow his plan. Don't ASK why. ASK the next thing for you to do and STOP COMPARING!

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...

Key = Blue = Scripture  Red = Answers to questions  Green = Verses to read in your spare time. Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart. Before you ask this question you must ask yourself, am I pure? Have I sinned by mistake and need forgiveness? Or are my thoughts starting to make my light darken? 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...
