Ephisians 5:15-17

Mostly teenagers and young adults live with no fear; we believe that we are invencible, that nothing is impossible for us. We don’t take any precaution of what could happen or the implied consequences of our actions. The flesh in us can be so free in our lives and we haven’t even noticed yet. Even when we suffer the consequences, we tend to “learn” the lesson for a short period of time and then continue living the same way like fools. Paul alerts us from living this way. If we don’t gather heavenly wisdom and start living with it, our days will be bad. Being wise will help us find and do what is correct and best in each day. Life is a gathering of moments, good life is taking wisely the most of these moments. For this we need to be humble and learn God’s wisdom. A repeated act for a period of time will become a habit. Let thinking reasonably every action with wisdom to be a habit, and our days will be good. Walking wisely is good, but walking wisely in His ways is greater. We know that His will is good pleasant and perfect, but for knowing His will we must live in a prayer life surrendering all ourself in Him. It is important to let our hearts delight in Him. Then God will write His will in it and guide through. 

For many years I didn’t want to hear God’s voice and lived in rebellion. My acts weren’t pleasant to Him and in few cases I only held in human wisdom. This only led me to bad days, disappointments and failures. Even though I knew that what I was doing was wrong I didn’t care and kept living as a fool. But God never left, his love was there always for me. I got tired of living that life and Jesus hand appeared telling me He is the way. Now I try to live devoted to Him, asking for wisdom for all the areas of my life.

Application:

Delight myself every morning in God’s presence, reading his word and worship.

1 Corinthians 9:22

What another demonstration of love to our neighbors or to people than to be emphatic with their lives and share with them the gospel? Knowing that God called me to be a disciple and to share the gospel to people has opened my eyes. His calling qualifies me, even though I feel like I am not ready or don’t have enough love for others, I have stopped trying and just letting Him work in me and through me.  Being honest, it is hard for me to be open to all people I face or get to know, but it is even harder when it is people that I know or are my friends. I believe this happens because of my lack of faith in Him. Now that I am in a real relationship with Him, my love and passion has been growing. My heart opens more and more every new time we get to do outreaches or share the gospel.  I can’t love people with my heart, but I can love them with His love. In my strength is hard to lay down and try to talk to everyone, but His faithfulness and passion for them is what makes me move. N

Hebrews 11:1

It seems that for all our lives and during every phase, we humans actually keep on wishing, wanting, and expecting  for something to happen or to come up to. Most of us will be influenced by the circumstances in our lives and the words of other people. It seems that we are constantly under pressure and bombarded with things that we don’t  even expect; like if we would become the person that the circumstances are dictating or what other people  are saying. Our expectations of life and the desires or hopes of our heart are biased to the wrong way.  Hebrews helps us define what faith really is, if we pay close attention. It is faith that is what holds all of these points, letting  us know what really is going wrong is our faith’s direction. We have the steering wheel of our own faith, it is us who  decide where we want it to be anchored or to whom or what we rely it on.  During my life I have been always a dreamer, having life goals, and constantly looking towards the

Luke 21:19

While I was thinking of standing still, a soldier was illustrated in my mind. When a superior calls a soldier to stand still, the soldier must leave whatever he is doing and come up firming his body. Then he has an attitude of listener, because the superior surely has something important to say. After the superior finishes his command, the soldier must wait until he has permitted to “relax”.  We can take certain points out of this illustration. The soldier has attitudes of obedience, service, and discipline. Jesus is our chief in command and we are his soldiers, we have to fight for souls. As any soldier, we need to look sharp and in shape. Otherwise we are going to die. We shall seek Jesus daily to know him more and delight ourselves in Him; so that our faces can reflect Him. Our ears need to be sensible to His voice, in a battle of so much noise and action, confusing a command from a different source will have terrible consequences. Our most important weapon is His word, sharper
