Shalom stories

The more we concentrate on the storm, the more we will become distracted, because what takes our attention controls our lives. When we focus on our problems, it's as if we're trusting our circumstances rather than God. Holy Spirit will make us more like Him if we get to know Him and connect with Him. The more we resemble Him, the more we will recognize His complete adequacy for all of life's ups and downs.  The Bible advises us to fix our eyes on Jesus in Hebrews 12:1-2, because even our own eyes can cause us to sin if we lose focus. In Matthew 18:9, Jesus persuades us to pluck out and cast out the sinful eye. Everything that leads us to lose our concentration should be gouged out and discarded.

Obedience is a requirement from God. No amount of money or giving can replace "obedience". We demonstrate and prove our love for God when we obey him. Following God's commands is a necessary part of loving him. Jesus taught his disciples in John 14:15 that if they truly loved him, they would obey his commands. Our positions may be jeopardized if we disobey. Sin and death entered the earth as a result of Adam and Eve's disobedience. Saul lost his reign due to his disobedience. Saul attempted to substitute sacrifice for obedience.

It's easy to forget about the habit when life becomes busy or things are going well. However, making it a daily habit to pray is a wonderful way to stay anchored in your faith on a daily basis.  It's also a wonderful opportunity to make quiet, reflective time for yourself and your God a priority. The Bible says that if we submit our petitions and prayers to God, He will grant us peace! May these daily prayers assist you in finding the right words to pray and focusing your heart and spirit on God's love today.

We want to figure everything out on our own, but that's not how God intended things to work out. Each day, there are several events that are beyond our understanding. Every day, we need a new word from God that speaks to our hearts to help us stay focused on what matters most. Trying to run this course of life without Jesus will leave us completely depleted. Jesus is significant to us because, through His love , teachings, hope, and peace, he assists us in changing our lives, facing adversities, and moving forward in faith.  When we fall short, we require Jesus Christ's gift of repentance.

Anything that includes the presence of God is considered holy. The body that receives the Holy Spirit's gift is special to God and is meant to represent His nature. When we consider ourselves to be God's temple, we should be more cautious about where we travel, what we watch, and what we listen to. Our bodies don't belong to us; they belong to God, so they should be clean and free from unnecessary impurities (see 1 Corinthians 6:19-20). As a result, take good care of it and put it to good use for God's purposes. When we accept Jesus as our Savior, we lose our right to do whatever we want with our bodies.

The Bible teaches us to be grateful in all circumstances because it is God's will for us in Christ Jesus (1 Thessalonians 5:18). We can praise God for his constancy, for the fact that he never leaves or forsakes us, and for the promise of eternal life that he has given us through his Son, Jesus Christ. We have everything because he gave it to us. That includes even us–our lives, our minds, and our bodies are all factors to consider. Our bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit , according to Scripture (1 Corinthians 6:19) . They aren't our bodies in the true sense.  After all, verse 20 reveals to us that God bought us at a price.

What we do first thing in the morning has an important influence on our lives throughout the day. We are much more resistant to the temptation to sin when we begin each day seeking God's love and mercy! Each morning, seek God's presence before your energy and attention are diverted by the tasks that lie ahead. Starting our days with prayer instills faith and serenity in our minds and hearts. By praying for gratitude and humility, we can maintain virtue in our daily tasks and interactions.
