Today is a new day, when we commit it to God we can handle anything without coming unglued.
These are rough days, lack of love everywhere, be loving yourself and do not respond to mean-spirited actions or words. Maintain your Christ-like attitude and you will get through the day with joy.
Remember we are living in the last of the last days when there is little faith upon the earth and more hostility toward God than ever since the days of Noah.
Do not be surprised at anything, ignore evil done against you without explanation as to why you walk as you do in Christ. Those who are full of hate will not receive an explanation, it is merely more fotter for attack.
Many people now especially in family groups will attempt to bring you down to their level, do not succumb. If we are not concerned whether others like us we will be able to please Christ.
Luke 10:27
"And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”
James 4:4
"You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God."
Galatians 1:10
"For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ."
Proverbs 29:25
"The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe."
We are living in a world dominated by humanistic thinking, even in churches today. We must resist by speaking truth and being willing to lose friends and family to follow Christ.
There is great joy in knowing that we are pleasing God, it completely eliminates the need to please any person. We please people when they desire to please God. Other than that we can say "NO" a lot in a respectful manner and continue on our way.
Hallelujah, when we are not in bondage to the love of men.
