LET IT SHINE BRILLIANTLY
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” -Matthew 5:16
As followers of Christ, our chief responsibility is to illuminate His light within our communities. Moreover, we are called to emit Christ’s light through our spiritual gifts, natural talents, and skills. While we must not seek to elevate ourselves, we should enthusiastically and unreservedly showcase our capabilities for the glory of God and the benefit of humanity.
TACTICAL RETREAT
“Come, my people, enter your chambers, And shut your doors behind you; Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, Until the indignation is past.” -Isaiah 26:20
Unfortunately, not all who hear our stories, see our progress, or sing our praises have good intentions. Thus, occasionally, it is essential to keep our thoughts and plans private, even our bodies, from the public. Let envious individuals carry the burden of wondering about our next move. In His time, God will display His favor in our lives for all to see in Jesus’ name!
THE POWER OF FELLOWSHIP
“For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” -Matthew 18:20
Every believer should prioritize reflecting on, studying, internalizing, and regularly practicing this profound statement of our Lord. Regardless of one’s level of spiritual maturity, every follower of Christ is guaranteed a particular blessing by participating in a Christ-glorifying assemblage. Note, this special blessing is only available through gathering in the name of Yeshua Ha Mashiach: It cannot be obtained through the prayers of any prophet, no matter how anointed.
KEEP MOVING
-“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” -Joshua 1:9
Despite what others may say, experiencing failure does not define who you are. Many successful people have encountered setbacks before reaching their goals. Remember, only by giving up do we actually fail. Let’s muster the strength of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us to remain unwavering amid challenges. Amen!
VAUE ADDITION
“As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” -Proverbs 27:17
The love of God motivates us to love everyone. Nevertheless, it is crucial to meticulously assess those we choose as close friends. Authentic friends remain loyal through both good and bad times. A sincere friend doesn’t deplete their friend’s energy – they offer support and enrichment.
May we find friends with whom we can pursue shared growth and success in the name of Jesus!
