Title: Do You Desire These 3 Traits?
Text:
1 Corinthians 16:13-14 (HCSB)
13 Be alert, stand firm in the faith, act like a man, be strong.
14 Your every ⌊action⌋ must be done with love.
Observation:
Today I have three things that Paul said to the Corinthians in his letter to them on my mind. I conclude from reading this letter that our problems may be big, but our God is bigger.
Do you desire to become more of these three things?
- Be Alert
Mark 13:33 (HCSB)
33 Watch! Be alert! For you don't know when the time is ⌊coming⌋.
1 Peter 5:8 (HCSB)
8 Be serious! Be alert! Your adversary the Devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour.
2. Be Strong
Joshua 1:9 (HCSB)
9 Haven't I commanded you: be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."
Ephesians 6:10 (HCSB)
10 Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and by His vast strength.
3. Be Love
1 John 4:7-8 (HCSB)
7 Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
8 The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
Prayer:
Father, I exalt Your name and Your Word. Father, we need You, and can't make it without You.
Father, help us, who are called Christ followers, to be alert, to be strong, and to be love. Father, draw us closer to You in righteousness, and in truth. In the mighty name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
