Philippians 4:4-5
Do you really rejoice? People should know that God is in control.
People should know that the Lord is at hand. Do people see you rejoice
in God and give God the praise. Do people say that you are not able to
pass over a matter and not able to control your emotions? If you
always do what you feel that is not good. If you show love or speak
when you don’t feel like than that is pleasing to God. You should care
what people say about you because it says “let your moderation be
known unto all men”.
You don’t want to be nonplus in worship. You want to give something in
worship.
Proverbs 19:20-21 How many of you are jealous for God? A lot of
people don’t talk enough about godly advice or counsel. Some people
don’t really want to hear godly advice and instruction. They get mad if
someone tries to give them advice. People should be asking questions
about life instruction and decisions.
James 1:19-26 The bible says you need to be swift to hear and slow to
speak. When people have a problem then they want to talk. Other
times, they do not want to hear anything. The bible says that we are
supposed to provoke each other to do good things. Sometimes people
say that you need to hear that word or boy you should have been at
church. We need to hear the word.
Matthew 6:28-33 People sometimes say that you have to be practical-
I got to pay bills. Everyone has to pay bills but God is more important
than your bills. Do you believe that the most important thing that you
get right in your life is God? Do you ask God when you wake up in the
morning to guide you-do you seek him first? Some people will sacrifice
their life for a job that will lay you off tomorrow. If you follow God, he
said all these things will be added unto you. You got to hear counsel.
