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!

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!

Christ Died For Me! Romans 5:8

"But God shows His love for us on that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" - Romans 5:8 Sin. God. Not friends. God tells us to love one another, but we only have one enemy. Satan. The person who wants to wipe out mankind forever. One of his main servants is Sin. Something that cannot get is close to God. But how does he bait us in? How? Worldly pleasures. Money, Fame, Huge businesses, Children and everything you could ever wish for. Satan shall give you these things but they shall not last long. Only things from Jesus last eternal, if we follow Him. SEE Joel 2:32 Jesus paid a big price to make us clean and pure. He died. It was only a heavenly body that could rescue us. Why not the Angels? You may ask. You see, they needed to be in the form of a human, which could not be possible before Jesus died. So God sent his Son. He gave up his pride and joy. His most beloved son. SEE John 3:16. We do not have to pay that huge debt. We would have to DIE if Jesus had not d...

Why remain pure? Learn about pureness in this amazing devotional....

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.

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...
