Today I want to share our devotional from The Spoken Word Church website!
Each person in your life is a current. This current is taking you toward your goals or away from them.
The worth of any friendship can be measured by its contribution to God's assignment to your life. He who does not increase you inevitably will decrease you.
"Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners." (1 Corinthians 15:33)
AMEN! This is so very important! We should, as 1 Peter 3:15 tells us, ALWAYS be ready to give an answer to those who ask us about this great HOPE that we have within us! But in your hearts set Christ apart [as holy—acknowledging Him, giving Him first place in your lives] as Lord. Always be ready to give a [logical] defense to anyone who asks you to account for the hope and confident assurance [elicited by faith] that is within you, yet [do it] with gentleness and respect.
BUT, other than times such as that mentioned above, we are to focus on our intimate fellowship with JESUS, by HIS Word and by HIS Spirit! And also by fellowship with like-minded believers! In fact, we are commanded to do so in Hebrews 10:25. There will be some during these next days who will make choices that the Spirit of Almighty God has also led YOU to do! Rejoice with them and suppoert them! There will also be those who have been instructed by Holy Spirit to do or say something that YOU may never say or do! Rejoice with them and support them! And then there will be times, occasions, tasks, that Holy Spirit is calling on YOU to do! Set your heart to OBEY! Your blessings hinge on your obedience! AMEN! And whatever YOU choose to do, NEVER even open your mouth against those who have been led in another way! AMEN! Here, to encourage you today to make the choice to make JESUS famous, are Hillsong Kids with "When The Earth Shakes":
Shalom in Him!
