Hebrews 12:1
Proverbs 17:3
1st Peter 4:12-17
2nd Timothy 3:12
My Notes:
(Hebrews 12:1) Thank God for waking you up each morning. When your not walking with God you are powerless. We do things we don't do normally do (short temper, stupid decisions, misjudging people) when we don't have the Word of God in us. The sins you had in 2008..............were they carried into 2009?
How can you love God and yet know nothing about Him?
Why don't we set aside time for the Word, but will set aside time for everything else you want to do?
Why don't we have to pray for an increased love for food, electronics or TV, but we pray for an increase in our prayer life, time spent in the Word, or a love for Jesus?
Why don't we set aside time for the Word?
I guess there are a ton of reason or excuses. It could be we don't want to. Or that when you read the Word it will reflect the true you. And you don't want to see what you really look like to Christ.
(Proverbs 17:3)When a trial starts is the first thing you should think is that the trial is to try you. To see how far you can be pushed. Will you lean closer to God or back away? Everyone is not selected to have a trial.

(1st Peter 4:12-17) If you get close to Jesus you will have trials. How many of you have been rejoicing in your trials? The reason He says to rejoice in your trials because you are being paired up with Jesus. Think of all the trials Jesus went through. You are being thought worthy enough to be tried. You need to be crucified daily. Dead people are not sensitive. If you draw close to God He will draw close to you. *Note* You draw close to God first not the other way around.
Satan will send anyone He can to make you feel like nothing. People shouldn't be able to get through your battle lines of defense.
You need to be someone God can rest on and feel at peace. Sometimes God Has to help you move stuff thats blocking Him out of your life.
(2nd Timothy 3:12) When someone hurts you have to forgive them and when you see that said person act like nothing ever happened. God will take care of the person. When you plot revenge, you show that you don't trust God to keep His promise.
There will come a time that if you judge someone for their sin you will have to repent. You ain't important. If Christ is living in you. You are dead and it's Christ that there. Not you :) Your are a clear glass box that Christ shines through.
If you are suffering as a Christian don't be ashamed, but glorify God through it all. Sometimes God needs you to stand through your troubles. To get to someone else who is watching you struggle through your trial. If you try to skip out on your trial. He will find someone else to do what He needed you to do, But you will miss out.
God Bless
