Proverbs 21:21- He that followeth after righteousness and mercy
findeth life. Christianity is not an accident but it is something that is done
on purpose.
Matthew 5:1-8 When Jesus sat down he was supposed to get all the
attention because he was getting ready to speak. Verse 4- It is sad to
see people that are not saved. You are not going to get all you want
because the world is not setup like that. Verse- blessed is the person is
that is trying to be controlled. The meek shall inherit the earth but the
world tells you to get what you want for yourself. Verse 6- A lot of
people don’t want to be any better than what they are. If you hunger
you want to be more. Are you the one that has to be pushed or pulled
to do something for the Lord or do you strive to know more? When you
hunger and thirst you want to know more, you want to read the word
more. These statements are not statements of should or want but
statements of being something. Verse 8- It is hard for some people to
say that their heart is pure.
Proverbs 21:22-27 If you are wise then you think through things. Ask
yourself how you deal with situations. Verse 23- He that keepeth his
mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles. If you just didn’t
say anything then everything would be o.k. Just by saying something
even when you didn’t do anything will still get you in trouble. Verse 24-
Your ability to go off does not mean anything to God. People pride
themselves in their ability to go off or cuss someone out. Verse 25-
people who are slothful are lazy dreamers- they are looking at what they
want all the time instead of working. Verse 26- Some people think about
what they are going to get but the righteous think about what they can
give. Verse 27- The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination. It doesn’t
matter what you are do if you are wicked then you are a wicked person.
If you are going to do something for God then have your life be right. It
don’t matter if you are talented if you are tainted. God doesn’t need
fake worship.
Proverbs 1:23-30 God is not going to hear you when we seek him after
the time that we should have sought him.
Isaiah 1:10-18 The Lord does not just want people to come to church if
they are not wanting to do right. Verse 13- He hates church meetings
when people are not doing right. Verse 15- God said that he will hide his
eyes from your worship if you are not right. He said that he will close his
ears from your prayer. Verse 16- The Lord wants to wash you and
make you clean. Verse 18- God doesn’t want you to try to talk to him
and not be right. He can make you clean from your sins.
