In the world we live in today, it's hard to stick to your guns and do the right thing. There are people who will nag you and attack you for being one of God's people. But you know what? It's been like that in the past and will continue to be that way in the future and the present. But I challenge you not to give up. Stand strong and rest in the fact that God is with you!
I'm sure you're thinking, "If their saying is As for me and my house......then why is there something different in the top picture?" Well, that would be smart to think that! I have it there because it's sort of like rules that go along with that saying.
-We do trust in God. We know that he is with us at all times. With him with us, how can we fear those who are against us?
-We think good thoughts. As tough as that is at times, we know that nothing good comes from hanging onto those negative thoughts. All they ever do is keep our focus off of God and serving Him. Keep focusing on Him and the things that are important to you.
-We do try to do better. There are days that I go to bed and I think of all the things I could have done better. But praise God, he gives me another day to make right what I have done wrong. I thank Him for those little tests during the day and I pray that He helps me pass them.
-We say we're sorry when we mess up. No one is perfect. Let me say that again....NO ONE is perfect. And the next time you think you are, try walking on water! When we do or say something wrong, we say we're sorry and we mean it!
-We believe in Grace. How could you not?? It was grace from my almighty creator that saved me! It made me see when I was blinded by own sins! The grace of God is the most amazing thing you will ever experience, well, besides his unconditional love!
-We love one another. Even those who do us wrong, we pray for them and also remember to love the sinner, not the sin.
-We show respect. We show respect to each other and to our children. There is nothing that bothers me more than those who disrespect their spouse and their children. We make sure that everyone knows that they are valued in the home. Our children are taught to respect their elders and authority. Children need to learn that parents make the rules and they are to follow those rules. There is nothing worse than a child who runs the home. Oh help me!
-We never give up! This is hard to do in a world that beats you up for messing up! It flaunts every flaw you have and never lets you forget it! But I always remember my favorite Bible verse...."I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me!" AMEN!
-We always pray!!!! Before we make any decision, we pray for God's hand in it. We know that nothing good comes from doing things on our own. We must submit to Him, believe in Him, and know that He knows what is best for us. Our future is in His hands. He wrote our life story, so why go against it? If you find yourself talking about it more than praying, well maybe you should pray about it and then talk about how God took those prayers and showed you what to do with them! :)
The sayings above were a little something special I saw and I apply them to my life. You can find other great saying and the right way to live in an amazing book called the Bible! Let me know what it's saying to you!
