Talk no more so very proudly, let no arrogance come from your mouth; for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. (1 Samuel 2:3)

Is the word of God your appetite? Are we really what we eat and digest? Have we substituted our spiritual diet to that of an unfulfilling and non-nutritious diet? What have we accomplished in the process? Today, I challenge you to dispose  of the excess fat gained from this world. 

Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation. (Isaiah 12:2)

Who and what is our salvation at this point in our lives? Do we know what salvation truly means? Is it a temporary means of access to contentment? How do we interpret and incorporate fear in place of salvation. Today, I challenge you with questions only. 

But my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him. (Heb 10:38)

At present, do we justify our righteousness by words or actions? Does our faith in Christ dictate our destiny? Have we succeeded in righteousness only and not faith? It all relies solely on our purpose to live in Christ. Today, I challenge you to apply righteousness and faith so that we are not disregarded by Christ. 

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7)

If peace is provide to us do we embrace it or dispose of it? How do we interpret our version of peace? Does it cover us in every area of our lives? Maybe we comprehend peace on a conditional basis? For the sake of the kingdom of God, I encourage you to think in the mindset of serenity. Today, I challenge you to only allow the peace of Christ to reign in and around you.

Yet they did not obey or incline their ear but everyone walked in the stubbornness of his evil heart. Therefore I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commmanded them to do, but they did not. (Jeremiah 11:8)

There is a voice that we obey. Have we determined what voice and where it derives from? Does this voice dictate our course of action in life? If we are coherent in listening, have we resorted to selective hearing? Today, I challenge you to incline your ear to the voice and command of Christ so that you live eternally. 

But for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. (Rom 2:8)

Convincing ourselves that what we believe is the absolute truth, can be an absolute lie. I say this to encourage you to shift the thoughts of your natural being to your spiritual as it relates to the word of God. For there is no abandoning of our mental ship, when we invite the word of God in and on our journey. Today, I challenge you to develop the word of truth in your lives to rid yourself of any condemnation. Live long and prosper in everything that you say and do. 

The Lord appeared to him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you. (Jeremiah 31:3)

Do we truly have the love that is everlasting? Have we resorted to other means of receiving love? If so, what is the value of it and what is the duration? Today, I challenge you to open your heart to the never-ending love of Christ in your life and forfeit all others.

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable,always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.              (1 Cor 15:58)

Stand firm and remain in position so that we do not miss our place in Christ. Today, I challenge you to continue persevering so that we align ourselves in the calling and purpose set before us. 

Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sin.(1 Peter 4:8)

Since we have been equipped with a heart capable of loving, do we excercise it? Have we dominated our walk with anger, hate, bitterness or unforgiveness? Today, I challenge you to digest the spirit of love like Christ, as if it was part of your diet. 

So that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. (Heb 6:12)

Endurance is part of the recipe of hope and promises to come. Distractions and speed bumps only slow down our progress. Today, I challenge you to remain in the lane of the promises of Christ and avoid any exits or u-turns.
