Often times we celebrate when someone becomes a Christian, but too few of us ignore the necessity for discipleship in teaching that new baby Christian how to stand. When we listen to God and are willing to obey, He guides us to divine appointments for us to meet with people who have been calling out for Him.

Obedience to God often involves giving up what we want in the moment and trusting God that what He has for us instead is worth the momentary sacrifice. The Bible promises that though we are called to live against the grain of the world, our obedience and sacrifice will be worth it in Heaven.

We must be watchful of the devil and his prowling on us to entice us into sin. At the same time, we must look to Jesus who is the all powerful King who has promised to come back for us and reign over all.

Sin is pleasurable, but that pleasure only lasts for a time until consequence and suffering kick in. We can choose to live it up in sin and not think about when midnight strikes, or we can make the choice to live with the Prince of peace who promises to satisfy us completely and give us abundant life.

We may feel like our sin is too great for God to fully forgive, but Jesus’ blood is strong enough to clean all our sin. Instead of living as though we cannot be clean, or living in sin and taking advantage of God’s grace, we need to humbly confess our sin and go on in our lives as clean as God has made us.

Although parents make mistakes, the command from the Bible to honor them still stands. Even Jesus honored the Father while He was on earth, and so in the same way we are to honor our parents, even if it is simply for the fact that they gave us life.

The best reaction to when we are stumped by a difficult circumstance in life is to seek God for answers because He can handle our questions. In this world there will be many moments where we find ourselves stumped, but when we enter eternity with Christ, He will make all things known to us, and so until then we can take heart and keep pressing forward.

We can all strive to look normal or attractive to other people, but regardless of the outward appearance we can be completely empty on the inside without Christ. God made us in His own image, and while we can care for our physical health our focus needs to be on allowing Him to work in us and through us.

Choosing to not give into sin because of moral pride sets us up for failure because we can never resist temptation completely on our own. Realizing the obedient lifestyle that God has designed for us and the purpose He has for us allows us to face temptation grounded on a foundation of Scripture.

The only reason we should fear anything is if we do not have God living in us and fighting for us. The Bible tells us that God is for us, not against us, and He is bigger and stronger than anything the devil could throw at us and therefore we have no reason to fear.

When we find ourselves in a troubled spot and ask God for help, He promises to help us out, however too often we get tired of waiting on Him and we find our own means which always makes things worse. God has given us the Holy Spirit to help guide us so that we can be out of the woods and available to help others find their way as well.
