Notes:
Psalms 119:1-136 (Read aloud with conviction)
These scriptures speak of confidence and not being ashamed.
People fail to realize that God’s word shows us about counsel, strengths and weaknesses, and who people really are.
Respond to the word of God, not your emotions.
Some of us make friends that we want to have instead of godly friends.
Bad friends will soon rub off on you.
If you are talking to someone with a bitter spirit, stop befriending them.
Most people think the will of God is less important than their feelings.
BAIT! : When people seek to be the understanding and passionate person vs. correcting them and protecting yourself.
Everything matters to God! Don’t say it doesn’t matter, because it does.
Think about what pleases God, not what doesn’t make you happy.
You are not strong enough to listen to a bitter person. Don’t be their trash can.
The same thing goes for unsaved people. They will affect your thinking.
Have you snared your own soul by listening to bitter/angry people?
Worldly people sometimes say, “You think you are so godly.” It’s not that you are so godly, it’s that we don’t want to be ungodly.
Being angry with a person without a cause leads to hell fire.
If you’re not trying to talk about salvation, etc. Don’t listen to it.
God knows more about changing people’s hearts than you ever will.
