Blessed To Be Used

Dec5

And Mary said: “My soul exalts the Lord,And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.

For He has had regard for the humble state of His bondslave; For behold, from this time on all generations will count me blessed. For the Mighty One has done great things for me; And holy is His name.

Do you take time regularly to delight in the Lord? Has rejoicing in the Lord become a habit in your life?

I have found in my own life that my days go better when I am focused on rejoicing in the Lord. I can find the good in my day. I see where God is at work in me and through me when my heart is set on rejoicing in Him. I can delight in Him as I travel through my day because He opens my eyes to see things that make my heart rejoice in my God. I shall always make it a habit to look to God each day seeking to have Him reveal in my heart something to rejoice in Him.

Rejoice in the day the Lord has made – Psalm 128:24

🌹Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!

Confident Teaching

Jul14

Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment.
James 3:1 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.3.1.NASB1995

Those who teach should first teach themselves.
Do we try to teach others and yet do not adhere to the the Bible by following the ways of our Lord?
A teachers goal in instruction is to love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.
Beware that we do not turn aside to fruitless discussion and speak of things we do not understand.
Romans 2:17-23/1 Timothy 1:5-8 NASB1995

God takes teaching others very seriously. Adherence to God’s Word, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, is of utmost importance for teachers, for they will incur a greater condemnation.

🌹Rejoice that God has chosen you to be a teacher. Just be aware it comes with high expectations. Rely upon the Master.
