Matthew 18:22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.

When you set your mind to do something for God, what sort of things stop you from completing your task?

Do you get despondent when people come up against you? Do you get angry with people who try to stop you? Do you object to people who do not see what you see?

It may seem very hard to keep going when so many around you seem to be against what you stand for, but that is just the way of the world.

God sees every step we take and He notices what we do. Keep going for His sake and not for your sake.

2 Timothy 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

When we present the Gospel to others we need to make sure that we are telling them the truth just as Christ has given us the truth.

This is God’s Word we are spreading and if we bend it and shape it into our own words it stops being God’s Word and becomes just another thing we say!

We know when we make it up ourselves and we should be thoroughly ashamed of those lies we spread.

When we give out God’s truth we need to stand proud and know we have done what God has intended!

Revelation 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.

Don’t expect God to give everything to you your own way and according to your own rules!

Yes God loves you and probably wants to spoil you rotten, but He is also just. That means that we will not get away with everything just because He is our Father!

Here He reminds us that He will rebuke and chasten us if He needs to. Correction is part of growing up in Him.

So when we know we are doing something wrong we need to do our uttermost to stop it and repent before it is too late!
