“When pride comes, then comes shame; but with the humble is wisdom” (Proverbs 11:2, NKJV). Pride interferes with our relationship with God and leaves us open to shame. Agreeing with what He says in His Word and the promises He makes to us is true humility in action, and it displays godly wisdom.

“O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause... O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee” (Psalm 25:2, 3, 20). The devil tries to use shame against us to hold us back from fulfilling God’s mission. Although those who disobey the Word can fall prey to shame’s destructive forces, our trust in God defeats this spiritual weapon.

“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death” (Romans 8:2). Earthly laws are made to protect us, but another set of laws operate on the spiritual level. These laws affect our salvation, and it’s important for us to understand them. Jesus shed His blood to establish the Gospel of Grace and give us eternal life.

“I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; and, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down. Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction. Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: so shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man” (Proverbs 24:30-34). The values we embrace eventually manifest themselves for all to see. If we’re lazy, we reap what we sow. Hard work and honest labor indicate a godly attitude in this area.

“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money” (Luke 16:13, NIV). If we put money before everything else in our lives, we can become enslaved to it and end up miserable. God knows that financial wealth can tempt us to trust it instead of Him, so He warns us against having a wrong relationship with it.

“And be renewed in the spirit of your mind” (Ephesians 4:23). There’s a connection between what we think and what we do. When we want to see tangible evidence of true change in our lives, we must renew our thought processes to agree with what the Scriptures tell us.
- March 6
“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things” (Philippians 4:8, NKJV). We fight a spiritual battle in our minds every day. To win, our strategy must be to deliberately avoid thinking like the rest of the world, which is under the influence of the enemy. Aligning our thoughts with God’s thoughts makes us of one mind with Him.

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” (Romans 12:2). The first step to standing out from the world as Christians, and God’s beloved, is to change our way of thinking. We break out of that worldly, tired mindset by studying His Word, which refreshes and renews our minds over time.

“Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus” (Colossians 1:28). Apart from Christ, we’re flawed and incomplete. Only when Jesus is living in us can we truly say we’re perfect, because He makes us that way.

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness” (Isaiah 41:10). There are plenty of situations in life we can’t handle on our own, and contemplating everything that can go wrong can be frightening. God reassures us that when we depend on Him, there’s no need to fear. He’s always with us, and He’ll never leave us.

“Whither shall I go from thy spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?” (Psalm 139:7).
No matter where we go in life, we can’t escape God. He loves us so much that He promises to stick by us, no matter what happens. We can try to run away from Him, but there’s nowhere to hide. Regardless of the situation, when we get in trouble and call to Him for help, He’ll be there.
March 15
“But as it is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him” (1 Corinthians 2:9).
There’s more—much more—to life than what we see and experience here on earth. For those who wonder if this is all there is, we have God’s promise that He has an eternal reward waiting for His children. Living in heaven with the one who is perfect love means unimaginable joy.

“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).
Unlike what religion teaches us, we don’t have to cringe fearfully when coming into God’s presence. Grace is the unearned, undeserved favor He has for us; knowing that He wants to extend that grace to us allows us to approach Him boldly.
March 13
“Let all bitterness and indignation and wrath (passion, rage, bad temper) and resentment (anger, animosity) and quarreling (brawling, clamor, contention) and slander (evil-speaking, abusive or blasphemous language) be banished from you, with all malice (spite, ill will, or baseness of any kind). And become useful and helpful and kind to one another, tenderhearted (compassionate, understanding, loving-hearted), forgiving one another [readily and freely], as God in Christ forgave you” (Ephesians 4:31, 32, AMPC).
To banish something is to forcefully reject it, as in a king banishing an evil enemy from the kingdom. We must forcefully reject any evil issues that can afflict us and keep us in bondage to anger and unforgiveness. Jesus has already forgiven us; we’re therefore to extend that same forgiveness to others.
March 12
“Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says” (James 1:21, 22, NIV).
Evil and immorality are all around us in the world, but believers are to back away from it. God’s Word, which has been planted in us like a gardener plants a garden, keeps us safe. We’re commanded to act on the Word, not just to listen passively.
March 11
“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love” (1 Corinthians 16:13, 14, NIV).
As Christian soldiers fighting a spiritual battle, we’re urged to stand strong and be on guard against the enemy’s attack. The devil wants us to be afraid; however, when we act out of the perfect love Jesus exhibited, it pushes out all fear.
March 10
“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you” (John 14:26, NKJV).
Life can be confusing, but we have divine help in making the right decisions. When we receive a prompting from the Holy Spirit, it’s wise to heed that prompting, whether or not we understand it at the moment. He teaches us things the world can’t, because His knowledge and wisdom are infinite.
March 9
“Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it” (1 Corinthians 12:27, NIV).
Contrary to what the world tries tells us, the church is not a physical building or even a particular denomination, but rather the believers who are part of God’s universal, global church. He has blessed each of us with individual gifts which we use collectively to serve Him.

“Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; and walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light” (Ephesians 5:1, 2, 8).
Walking often involves following, which can be an unpopular concept in the world. However, there’s no better person to follow than Jesus Christ, who did His share of walking during His earthly ministry. Following in His footsteps fills us with light and makes us stand out in a dark world.
