Kindness is difficult to give away because it keeps coming back.

Eph 6:8, “knowing that whatsoever good thing any man does, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free”

Luke 14:13-14, “but when you make a feast call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind and you will be blessed for they cannot repay you for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just”

Acts 20:35, “I have showed you all things how so laboring you ought to support the weak, and to remember to words of the Lord Jesus, how He said, “it is more blessed to give than to receive””

Proverbs 19:22, “the desire of a man is his kindness and a poor man is better than a liar”

Joel 2:12-13, “therefore also now says the Lord, turn you even to me with all of your heart and with fasting and with weeping and with mourning and rend your hearts and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness and repents of the evil”

Psalms 117:2, “for His merciful kindness is great toward us and the truth of the Lord endures forever, Praise you the Lord.”

We must be kind one to another, after all our Father and our Lord Jesus are kind to the just and the unjust. Kindness is one of the things we are told to put on (Col 3:12). Kindness usually does not cost us a thing. There is a scripture that tells us if we do good to others then we will receive the same from the Lord that we have done to others. What a promise! You cannot out give God. When you sow a kind word, or an action then it comes back to you. There is another promise, when you have a feast call those that will not be able to repay you and Jesus said you will have a reward in Heaven! What a promise. Let us be like our Father in Heaven and show mercy and kindness as opportunity allows.

We pray Father for your rich kindness and thank you for your promise that you will return the good we do to others on our heads, we ask that we will forgive all those that have sinned against us because you forgave us and that we will show kindness because of your kindness through our Lord Jesus Christ, may it be so in Christ name.

Having truth decay... Brush up on your Bible...

Rom 10:3, for they being ignorant of God’s righteousness and going about to establish their own righteousness have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God

Rom 12:2, and be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may be able to prove what is good and acceptable and perfect will of God

Hosea 4:6, my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge because you have rejected knowledge I will also reject you that you shall be no priest to me seeing you have forgotten the law of your God I will also forget your children.

Psalm 14:4, have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? Who eat up my people as bread and call not upon the Lord.

Prov 2:3-6, yes if you cry after knowledge and lift up your voice for understanding, if you seek her as silver and search for her as hid treasures then shall you understand the fear of the Lord and find knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding

Isa 47:10, for you have trusted in your wickedness, you have said None sees me, your wisdom and knowledge it has perverted you and you have said in your heart I and none else beside me

Jesus of Nazareth has got to be your only source of truth. Jesus is the truth the life and the way no man comes to the Father but through Him, John 14:6, we must as James says, submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee James 4:6, We have got to not want from any other source, if you submit to God, then Jesus is your only source, the devil has nothing to offer you. Let us read the word of God which produces faith (Rom 10:17) or study more in-depth the teachings of Jesus Christ. Let us be renewed inwardly by the power of God, for it is written greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.

Father we pray you would help us to know your word and open our understanding so we can understand your ways and give us a hunger and thirst for righteousness like You and Jesus your only Son, In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Man's way leads to a hopeless end! God's way leads to an endless hope!

Prov 14:12, “there is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end thereof is are the ways of death”

Jer 10:23, “O lord you know that the way of man is not within himself it is not in man that walks to direct his steps. O Lord correct me but with your judgment not in your anger unless you bring me to nothing”

Psalms 118:81, “my soul faints for salvation but I hope in your word”

Lam 3:26, “it is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord”

Psalms 78:7, “that they might set their hope in God and not forget the works of God but keep His commandments”

Psalms 130:5, “I wait for the Lord, my soul does wait and in His word do I hope”

Prov 26:12, “see you a man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope of a fool than of him”

Rom 8:24, “but if we hope for that we see not, then we with patience wait for it”

1 Thes 5:8, “but let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for an helmet the hope of salvation”

1 Pet 1:13, “wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ”

1 John 3:3, “and every man that has this hope in him purifies himself even as He is pure”

Man and his wisdom and ways lead to death and destruction, and men think themselves to be doing correctly. As Jerimiah said, we are not able to know how to direct our steps but have to have the instruction and training that comes from the Lord through His word and commands. A man by himself cannot change His ways for he has to have at least; instruction on how to turn to God. Look at David a man after God’s own heart, he said he faints but is waiting on God to fulfill His word. We men think that our ways are better and that we are better and trust in ourselves like the Pharisee that prayed with himself. We have to stop trying by our wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and imagination stop using our ways to saved us. What did David do? He waited, he did not save himself. When the enemy surrounds us and we look like we are going to be destroyed, do not be dismayed but hope in the Lord that never forgets and sees the hope we have in him. Let God glorify His name and you thank Him for it. While we wait on God we must try and purify ourselves from the ways of man and the wisdom from this world by renewing our mind, changing our thoughts, and bringing forth fruit unto repentance. God wants to be the Father of His children that says thank you daddy for doing this for me.

Father we pray that we might turn from the hopeless ways of this world and it wisdom. We know that the wisdom that leads to salvation is foolishness in the eyes of the world, for the world says save yourself but you say wait on Me and I will save you. May those that wait on you not be ashamed, Glorify your name, In Christ name may it be so.
