Do you get the impression that leaders like to be around you? Your
bosses? Pastor? Senior staff members? Pro
22:11, He that loveth pureness of
heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend. In need of God’s
supernatural help? Ps 31:24, Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen
your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord . “Courage” means to be obstinant
or resolute. You keep doing and being what you’re told to be and do, and He’ll
strengthen you.

Pro 16:9, A man’s heart deviseth
his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. Quit looking at your goal and
start looking at your immediate tasks.

Ps 119:149b, Hear my voice
according unto thy lovingkindness: O Lord, quicken me ACCORDING TO thy judgment.
God’s methods are often harsh: do you really want His intervention? Some
lessons can only be learned through hard, harsh methods.
- Tuesday, 12/13/16 Rev 16:9, And
men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God...and
repented not to give him glory. In problems, don’t be guilty of looking at
others’ actions and not your own. You can only control/change you.

1 Chron 16:24, Declare his glory
AMONG the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations. When was the
last time that you bragged on God in front of people whom you knew were
unsaved?
Tuesday, 11/22/16 Mal 3:1a, Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me. Pastors, SS teachers, parents: remember that those are God’s people that you speak to; they’re not yours. And, remember that your job is to point them to Christ and not to yourself.

Eph 1:2, Grace be to you, and
peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. This is what
you got from Heaven this morningvia Special Delivery...pass it on.

Ps 119:67-68a, Before I was
afflicted... Thou art good, and doest good. Can you, in the midst of
affliction, still count God as being good? Can you partake of the unique solace
to which we often refer others who are hurting?
Tuesday, 10/25/16 Exo 33:13, Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me
now thy way, that I may know thee... Knowing His way is good; doing it is
better; but they are not the end goals. We’re to learn them so as to know Him.
Quit practicing religion and get acquainted with, and love, a Person.
Tuesday, 10/18/16 Neh 9:31, Nevertheless
for thy great mercies’ sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake
them: for thou art a gracious and merciful God. Notice, in spite of their
sin, He did not forsake (leave them behind). Do those who’ve sinned against you
and tried to apologize feel forsaken (no longer worth your time and effort)?
Confirm your love. Jacob
needed to get things square with God. Gen 32:24b, And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until
the breaking of day. 1You need to meet God alone,
and take ownership of your sin. 2It’ll not be a pleasant
experience (wrestling is strenuous.)
