20. My child, pay attention to what I say.

Listen carefully to my words.

21. Don’t lose sight of them.

Let them penetrate deep into your heart,

22. For they bring life to those who find them,

and healing to their whole body.

23. Guard your heart above all else,

for it determines the course of your life.

24. Avoid all perverse talk;

stay away from corrupt speech.

25. Look straight ahead,

and fix your eyes on what lies before you.

stay on the safe path.

27. Don’t get sidetracked;

keep your feet from following evil.

“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

Matthew 26:41 NIV Bible

We all have good intentions about all the things we need to do and while our spirits are willing, sometimes our bodies are weak, worn and weary. There seems to be a constant struggle between mind and body. God wants us to be vigilant in watching and praying to avoid giving in to temptation. We need to be spiritually alert to the dangers lurking all around us....those things that could impede our spiritual growth and cause us harm. The key to victory in this area is to be in constant prayer about every temptation we're facing.

Watching involves paying attention to the ploys of the enemy.....false doctrines, dangerous people and trends that could lead us astray. Praying involves bringing all these concerns and needs to God and asking Him for discernment to recognize the dangers around us and the wisdom and strength to not yield to temptation. As we enter into a close and personal relationship with Jesus, our hearts, minds and bodies will be renewed and strengthened and we can have victory over temptation.

Thank you Lord for Your strength. Help me Lord to be vigilant in watching and praying so that I will be victorious over temptation. Give me discernment to recognize the snares of the enemy. Renew my heart, my mind and my body. I love you Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!

"And why worry about a speck in your friend's eye when you have a log in your own?" 

Matthew 7:3 NLT Bible

So many times we find ourselves concerned with the faults of others and we completely ignore our own imperfections, which can sometimes be greater than what we obsess about in someone else. We are all flawed and we first need to examine ourselves and work on our shortcomings before looking at what's wrong with our neighbour. It's the only way we can minister effectively. 

Sometimes the things that we are so quick to point out in someone can be exactly what we are struggling with. Of course, we can be concerned about something that's amiss in another person's life, but God is the ultimate judge. We are simply called to pray for that person, show love, kindness and compassion and leave the change to God. When we condemn and pull others down, we're actually failing to show the love and compassion of God. We need to take our focus off their faults and concentrate on all the good we can see in them. When we do that, it opens the door for us to help them with some of the issues in their lives.

Thank You Lord for loving me just as I am. Help me to view others through eyes of love and compassion and refrain from passing judgement. Purify and cleanse my heart. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
