Exaggerated Opinion: 

The only accurate way to understand ourselves is by what God is and by what He does for us, not by what we are and what we do for Him.1.

In other words, don’t estimate and think of yourself more highly than you ought – don’t have an exaggerated opinion of your own importance, but rate your ability with sober judgment.2.

Romans 12:3

Romans 12:3
English: Contemporary English Version (UK) - CEV-UK
3 I realize how kind God has been to me, and so I tell each of you not to think you are better than you really are. Use good sense and measure yourself by the amount of faith that God has given you.

Looking For God: 

Good counsel and common sense are My characteristics; I am both Insight and the Virtue to live it out. With My help, leaders rule, and lawmakers legislate fairly; with My help, governors govern, along with all in legitimate authority. I love those who love Me; those who look for Me find Me.1.

Small Potatoes: 

Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us.1.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

2 Corinthians 4:16-18
English: Contemporary English Version (UK) - CEV-UK
Faith in the Lord 16 We never give up. Our bodies are gradually dying, but we ourselves are being made stronger each day. 17 These little troubles are getting us ready for an eternal glory that will make all our troubles seem like nothing. 18 Things that are seen don't last for ever, but things that are not seen are eternal. That's why we keep our minds on the things that cannot be seen.

Sick Of The Church:

Sick Of The Church: 

I was sick and you stopped to visit…1.

Think of those who are unable to church it on a regular basis. 

 The sick. 

The house-bound – those confined usually by illness. 

A lonely individual. 

The elderly couple. 

And there’s that family – long time no see! 

 Don’t forget to stir, encourage and build them up! 

A word of comfort, a message of encouragement, a telephone conversation, even a knock at their door – all can become to them a candle of hope! 

Come-on!!

1 Matthew 25:36

Matthew 25:36
English: Contemporary English Version (UK) - CEV-UK
36 and when I was naked, you gave me clothes to wear. When I was sick, you took care of me, and when I was in jail, you visited me.”

Harvest Reward

 Insight

Harvest Reward: 

“We are intimately linked in this harvest work. Anyone who accepts what you do, accepts Me, the One who sent you. Anyone who accepts what I do accepts My Father, who sent Me. Accepting a messenger of God is as good as being God’s messenger. Accepting someone’s help is as good as giving someone help. This is a large work I’ve called you into, but don’t be overwhelmed by it. It’s best to start small. Give a cool cup of water to someone who is thirsty, for instance. The smallest act of giving or receiving makes you a true apprentice. You won’t lose out on a thing.”1.

Matthew 10:40-42

Matthew 10:40-42
English: Contemporary English Version (UK) - CEV-UK
Rewards Jesus continued: 40 Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me. And anyone who welcomes me also welcomes the one who sent me. : a ; ; b ; . 41 Anyone who welcomes a prophet, just because that person is a prophet, will be given the same reward as a prophet. Anyone who welcomes a good person, just because that person is good, will be given the same reward as a good person. 42 And anyone who gives one of my most humble followers a cup of cool water, just because that person is my follower, will be rewarded.

Such Comfort!

Such Comfort!: 

Know this; it’s as you pray, the Holy Spirit will shape or influence, give direction to your decisions, comfort you throughout the times of suffering and distress, make you stronger when you have little physical or spiritual strength, pick you up when you’ve virtually abandoned any sense of hope, and, what is more – He’ll never walk out on you!

John 14:27

John 14:27
English: Contemporary English Version (UK) - CEV-UK
27 I give you peace, the kind of peace that only I can give. It isn't like the peace that this world can give. So don't be worried or afraid.

Making Intercession

 Insight, Quotes
Jul 012011
 

Making Intercession: 

Our prayer must not be self-centered. 

It must arise not only because we feel our own need as a burden we must lay upon God, but also because we are so bound up in love for our fellow men that we feel their need as acutely as our own. 

To make intercession for men is the most powerful and practical way in which we can express our love for them. – John Calvin. 

Colossians 1:9

Colossians 1:9
English: Contemporary English Version (UK) - CEV-UK
The person and work of Christ 9 We have not stopped praying for you since the first day we heard about you. In fact, we always pray that God will show you everything he wants you to do and that you may have all the wisdom and understanding that his Spirit gives.
