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!

Revere Christ as Lord!

"But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." - 1 Peter 3:15. Whenever we are being trialled or tested for our faith, we should never deny it. Take the opportunity to tell them about God. Preach to them and give them the chance to hear about God. It may work, it may not. But all you know is, you accomplished your part of the mission. You've preached to them. Now it's there decision to come to Christ. Notice the Bible says do it with GENTLENESS. We don't use violence to try and preach the Gospel. We don't force people to believe in our reality. We use one of the fruit of the spirit (See Galatians 5:22 for a full list) Now you may wonder why Peter says 'with respect' when God says: "Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:" - Acts 10:34.

Most Powerful

8 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. (‭Psalms‬ ‭16‬:‭8‬ KJV) In this verse, David is actually having a revelation about Jesus from the Holy Ghost. Let me explain. You see- as Christians, Jesus is the one who is before us. The One we follow. He is at our right hand and protects us. And because of Him, we are not moved. The Lord is you Leader, Provider and Guide. Without him, your steps would be without guide and you would have no knowledge of the path you are taking. You would be vulnerable to Satan and he will be able to destroy you. But-thank God- he can't destroy us. Christ lives in us, the most powerful Thing ever!
