Psalm 45:11 Let the king be enthralled by your beauty; honour him, for he is your lord.
What do you strive to achieve in your life here on earth? Do you strive to look good to other people?
Our aim should be to look good for Christ and to try to please Him with everything we do and say.
We can fully honour Him by following His will in our lives and obeying Him with everything – body and soul!
Psalm 149:4 For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.
How do you go about talking with God? Do you stand up and demand things from Him expecting Him to answer everything?
Or do you humble yourself before Him without shouting about it in front of everyone? Do you spend time waiting for Him to answer?
God is going to answer you when you are willing to humble yourself before Him and others!
Psalm 5:7 But I, by your great love, can come into your house; in reverence I bow down towards your holy temple.
The greatest gift God gave us was His Son; through Jesus’ death on the cross we are able to come into the presence of God in Heaven.
Even though God cannot abide sin, and we are sinners, Jesus paid our sin debt on the cross enabling us free passage into Heaven.
So what is stopping everyone from going into Heaven? Unbelief in what Christ has done!
Luke 14:28 Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?
What sort of effort do you put in to doing things for yourself – things which you want in your life?
When we want to build something or make something, we go about it by making sure we have the right stuff and the right methods…
Why then should we not make sure we have the right stuff and methods for ensuring Christ is always in our lives?
