1 Peter 4:1-2
Verse 2- a lot of people are just trying to please other people. Other people will try to get
you do something. The people that you often try to please at school are those that you
probablywon’t even see after high school. You got to arm yourselves and be prepared to
face lusts and temptations. You have to make a decision and cut some things loose in order
to be stronger. You can’t be busy trying to please men.
The truth is things can affect you- you don’t have to act like they don’t.
1 Corinthians 15:33-35 Some people try new drugs because they are hanging around
people. Be careful what you listen to and what other people tell you. “Communications”
in verse 33 is people’s lifestyles affecting you. What you do is who you are.
Proverbs 20:13 Love not sleep. Don’t sleep when you should be working or taking care of
your business. God does not put a premium on laziness. It also does not mean that people
should work 3-4 jobs either because this can be selfish. For God though, you got to burn the
the candle sometimes.
