Proverbs 19:11-15
Verse 11- You can pass over a matter. A Christian thinks through
things. Certain things should not get you upset and if you keep getting
upset at things that you shouldn’t then you are not right.
The bible says that if you are mad at somebody for a reason that is not
Godly than you are in danger of hell’s fire. Some things you should
make light of and move on and certain things shouldn’t get you all
worked up. Don’t get tripped out on the outside but let God can control
you on the inside. Your emotions have everything to do with God- what
makes you happy, upset and etc.. Certain things as a Christian should
not trip you out- the bible says marvel not if the world hates you. Are
there things that you get upset about that you shouldn’t?
Verse 13- You want to think about yourselves and how you can be a
better son or daughter.
Verse 14- God sees relationships as spiritual and not chemical. It is not
about chemistry.
Verse 15- God does not value laziness. Not feeling like it is not a
reason.
Hebrews 6:10-16
You need to hold yourself accountable and look at what you are doing
for God. Labor of love- the word “labor” means some things that
requires effort. How many of you are active in a ministry?
Verse 11- do your works show? If no one can see what you are doing
for God then you are not doing anything. Diligence- you can tell people
who are putting forth effort or those that are dragging their feet.
Verse 12- You need to hang out with people who are doing something
in the Lord. Are you involved? What is your labor of love? What if your
eulogy was preached tomorrow? What would they say is your work a labor of love?
Proverbs 19:16-20 People get mad because a person wants to do right
and live as a Christian. A lot of times when you give to the poor God
will show you favor. Verse 18- Some kids know how to cry before
they get a spanking. Verse 19- Person who have anger problems will
get in trouble again.
