Grace for your spirit
Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all. Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you. I Timothy 4:15-16
No one ever climbed Mt. Everest out on a casual walk. When we set out to accomplish anything we have to pay attention, prepare, and persevere. Sometimes the effort will cause some pain, but the result is worth it. Our Christian walk and our Christian ministry is such an effort. The result of our walk will bring eternal salvation for us and those who hear us. Walk worthy.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit

Grace for your spirit
Guard your steps as you go to the house of God and draw near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they do not know they are doing evil. Do no be hasty in word or impulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God. Ecclesiastes 5:1-2
When we walk in the presence of greatness, it is wise to walk softly, and humbly. When we recognize the magnificent power of God, it should motivate us to watch our step, and listen for directions. There is a time to talk and a time to listen. Before the throne of God, we will do better to listen. His presence and His influence may answer our questions before we have to bring up the matter.

When a man's ways are pleasing to the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. Proverbs 16:7
When we have tried everything to be at peace with our enemies, let's give God a chance. God directs us to love our enemies and pray for them. We are directed to do everything we can do to make peace, and we should. When we turn this challenge over to the Lord, God will find a way for our enemies. Job's so called friends had said and done many false things, but at the end, Job prayed for them and they were restored to Job and the Lord. We should never build such a barrier that our enemies cannot find the way to God. Let's build bridges, not walls.

Grace for your spirit
And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: The One who has the sharp two-edged sword says this: I know where you dwell. Revelation 2:12-13
The message to the seven churches of Asia was pretty plain. The one with the sharp two-edged sword knows what you are doing, and He knows where you live. How often have we heard that veiled threat in this world today; "I know where you live". When we feel threatened, those word can haunt us. When we realize that Jesus knows where we live, it should motivate us to live the life that pleases Him. Let's get started.

For I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea; And all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea I Corinthians 10:1-2
What a great picture of freedom is drawn here by God's word. Israel was in bondage in Egypt. They were led by the cloud of God, and went through the Red Sea. When the waters closed behind them, Egypt was gone and the promised land was ahead. It is one of the pictures of the Christian baptism God left for us. As we rise from the waters of baptism, we leave the bondage of sin behind. Led there by His word, we now have a victorious journey to our promised land. Let's not lose our way in the journey as they did. Our victory is near.
