The word of encouragement for today is this, doing the simple things right. The simple things in life are for example, reading your Bible every day, praying everyday, focusing our eyes on God and not on man, secure in our identity in Christ, living out the commands given to us through the word of God. However, doing the simple things right is hard but it isn’t impossible. God lays out everything, through the life of Jesus as our example, and if Jesus could do it, so can we!
The simple things in life have been given to us by God, and you know what is amazing, it cost us nothing to gain it. Furthermore, to fully live out and do the simple things right, we will see more to life than now, and that is priceless.
Today, God is giving us all a choice, to live a life being mediocre, trying our hardest and best to fulfill our own desires and needs; or to live a life by doing the simple things right, by desiring His will for us, and watch your life be filled with more than what you can imagine. What decision are we going to make today, I pray that we all would be challenged as we head into the second half of 2007. More is in store!
The word of God says in 1 Corinthians 1:26, “Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29so that no one may boast before him. 30It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."
