WORDS FOR MY SOUL

READ: Hebrews 10:14

“How do you talk to yourself?”

Stop putting yourself down by saying, “I keep falling, so I’m no good. I’ll never do anything right.” If you keep telling yourself that, you will find evidence to prove it. Putting yourself down reinforces rather than corrects your imperfections by placing unnecessary attention and energy on everything that’s wrong, rather than what’s right with you. Why would you do this knowing that the only possible result is a negative outlook, more negative feelings, less appreciation for the gift of life? Think on that!

WORDS FOR MY SOUL

READ: Genesis 22:1

“The test of faith and obedience.”

The rewards of obedience are awesome, but sometimes the process can be agonizing. Before God promotes you to a position of usefulness in His service, He qualifies you. We admire the faith of Abraham, who took his son Isaac up to Mount Mariah and laid him on the altar. But the story doesn’t make sense until you read the first verse of the chapter, where God tested Abraham. What did God test? His faith! His obedience! And God blessed him when he passed the test.

Understand this: when you pray and ask God for success, you’re inviting Him to test your faith and obedience.

WORDS FOR MY SOUL

READ: Philippians 4:6-7

“When worry comes!”

When worry comes go to The Word: (4) “They will fight against you, but… not prevail… I am with you to save… and deliver you” (Jer 15:20). (5) “You will be secure, because there is hope; you will look about you and… rest in safety” (Job 11:18). (6) “I will lie down in peace and sleep, for though I am alone…Lord, you will keep me safe” (Ps 4:8).

When your peace is gone, and your mind is worried, reprogram your thinking with the promises of God. Write them down, carry them with you, read them daily. The answer is in The Word!
