Proverbs 23:15-18

There is something I can do to make my Father rejoice, and that is to be wise. It will not only be for Him, but for me as well. Behave and live in righteousness is worthy for just one reason, God. I say what I say, and do what I do because of Him. My actions fall into the purpose of pursuing to please God. Wisdom has come to my life, as I have been seeking our Lord in all that I do. There are some decisions more easy than others, so as areas were I have more victory. Whenever temptation comes in those hard areas I still think about it, but it is only by His grace that I receive His strength. It is wise to look after Him first, than to decide for my own ways. My ways are foolish and imprudent rather than His, sometimes His ways might hurt or I could have no idea where I am going. Jesus has called me to follow Him, without mattering if I know where, what, how am I going to do what He wants, I just need to focus on following Him. If I try to go in front next to Him is much more difficult to make the turns with Him, but if I am behind and letting Him be the one who makes every decision I can more easily tell where He is going. Maybe in that path I can see others next to me or all the people around, and the things that they are doing can call my attention be really tempting; but  turning into my ways and go with them wouldn’t be worthy after following Jesus for that long. It is encoring to know that during that path He smiles and rejoices as I act and talk wisely. There is and end in both ways of acting, but after being in the path far from God and seeing that awful end coming close I don’t want to go back to that. Now I know that pursuing God I have eternal life and the “end” is heaven. 

Application:

Look for wise thoughts.

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
