Stay Close To God

Updated: May 3, 2020

Do not let your present situation rob you of the joy knowing Christ or keep you from growing closer to Him. Look for the ways to demonstrate your fate. Whether or not your condition will improve, your faith will grow stronger. Be an encouragement by the way you live. The best way to influence someone is to pray for him or her. Do not let suffering to tear you down you have a faith.


Do not be concern about making a good impression or meeting your own needs that you strain relationships in God's family. Do not judge people's spirituality by their fulfilment of duties or by their level of human activity. We must lay aside anything that may distract us for being effective Christians.


Do not be aloud about our personal rights. Do not seek revenge against those who treat us unfairly. Turn our worries into prayers. Whenever you start to worry stop & pray. God's peace is different from the World's peace. True peace is not found in positive thinking in absence of conflict, or in good feelings. It comes from knowing that God is in control.


Let God's peace guard your heart against anxiety. Trust God that he will always meet our needs. Whatever we need, he will always supply. We should never allow difficulties & unpleasant circumstances to turn us away from trusting God. God has not placed you in your present position for your own benefit. He put you there to serve Him. Serving God often demands that we risk our own security. God has a purpose for the situations in which he places us.


Courage does not replace careful planning. If you are changing jobs, positions, or location and can't see God's purpose in your situation, understand that God is in control. He maybe placing you in a position so you can help when the need arises. Ask god for His directions, what should we do. Although God promises to reward our good deeds, we sometimes feel our payoff is to far away. Be patient, God steps in when it will do the most good.


One person who digs a pit for others will fall into it himself. No matter how hopeless our condition or how much we would like to give up, we need not despair. God is in control of our world. No matter what our economic situation is we can love & respect the people God has brought into our lives. In so doing we give & receive blessings. Love is the greatest blessing. Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it is in your power to act. If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered.


We have given two choices: to obey & disobey. There are rewards for choosing to obey & sad consequences for choosing to disobey. When you are faced with the choice always choose to obey. Man gives life to woman. Woman gives life to the World. There is no room to think that one sex is superior to the other.


When we suppose to expose our secret thoughts to God we break our lines of communication with Him. A guilty conscience is a warning signal God placed inside you that goes off when you have done wrong. Let your fear of getting caught be a warning to do right. Correcting yourself in the middle of doing something wrong, may bring hurt, & disappointment but it also will bring freedom from sin's control.
