1 Thessalonians 4:8-12 Some people get to a point and drop off when it
comes to relationships with other. Think about the relationship with
others and are you trying to make it better. Verse 10 says that we
should increase more and more in loving others.
Proverbs 17:22 Some people’s health is related to their attitude as a
nasty attitude can cause you have more health problems. Some people
can’t work because of their attitude and they are depressed. You might
let your psychology make you sick. Some people are sick and they don’t
want people to pray for them. You don’t want people to pray for you
which is selfish.
Philippians 2.25-30 We should care for others that are sick. If you are
sick you should want people to know so that they can pray for you.
Don’t play around with sickness if you are not really sick. For the work of
Christ, Epaphroditus was putting forth the energy so much so that he
was not regarding his life. People find energy when they are interested in
stuff they want to do. If you are sick why would you have a negative
attitude toward God because he would be the one that would heal you.
Proverbs 17.23- Some people can be bought off. Verse 24- what you
need to do is right their before your eyes. It is not complicated- living for
the Lord is not that complicated. Stop thinking so much and do what you
know is right.
Ecclesiastes 6.9-11 Sometimes you don’t enjoy what you got. Enjoy
what people God has put in your life. Some people are always looking
for something else; they are looking for another job all the time. It is like
people are chasing the wind. Some people think that the grass is greener
on the other side- sometimes you need to water your own grass. If you
can’t enjoy the life that you have now with the people that you have then
the life that you want will be empty too. It is because you are empty,
and are not filled with the love of God in your life.
