“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.
- March 7
“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.

“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.

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it” (Matthew 7:13, 14, NIV).
When choosing how to live their lives, most people choose to follow the world’s philosophies, because those are the paths of least resistance. Jesus warned that most individuals make the wrong choice; He’s the only path that leads to heaven.
March 5
“Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain” (Psalm 127:1, NKJV).
If we rely on our own efforts to accomplish the plans we set for ourselves, all our efforts will amount to nothing. We’re only successful when our plans have God’s blessing; this holds true in all areas of our life.
March 4
“But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, ‘Be holy, for I am holy’” (1 Peter 1:15, 16, NKJV).
When God calls us, we’re to step away from the crowd. As Christians charged with doing the job He assigns to us, we’re set apart from the rest of the world, even while we’re living in it. Everyone should be able to see God reflected in our actions and conduct.

“God-devotion makes a country strong; God-avoidance leaves people weak” (Proverbs 14:34, MSG).
On a national level, a people who seek God’s guidance and welcome His presence everywhere will be honored, blessed, and strengthened. Conversely, the country that rejects Him opens itself up to attacks, immorality, and ungodliness.
March 2
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance” (Psalm 33:12, NKJV).
Throughout history, nations that have put God’s Word first have not only flourished, but have been strengthened and made victorious. Conversely, those who reject Him and ignore His message open themselves up to multiple evil, destructive influences.
March 1
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings” (Jeremiah 17:9, 10).
If we trust in our own thoughts and feelings instead of God’s Word, we’re prone to make mistakes we’ll regret later. God can see into our hearts and minds, and He knows us better than we know ourselves. He knows the motivations behind our actions, whether good or bad.

“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 6:9, 10).
God is holy and sinless, and His nature is such that He won’t look upon sin or evil. He is love, grace, and compassion, but He is also justice and truth. The future is bright for those who love Him and live by His Word, but there will come a time when He’ll no longer tolerate those who refuse to accept Him.
March 6
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths” (Proverbs 3:5, 6, NKJV).
In our spiritual journey through life, there are many paths to choose, but only one that leads to eternal life. Going down the wrong path will lead to a dead end. On our own, it’s impossible to make the right choice, but letting God lead the way keeps us moving in the right direction.

“Everyone who commits (practices) sin is guilty of lawlessness; for [that is what] sin is, lawlessness (the breaking, violating of God’s law by transgression or neglect—being unrestrained and unregulated by His commands and His will)” (1 John 3:4, AMPC).
It’s good to obey rulers and authorities, but not all man-made laws are wise and just; worldly laws can change frequently, but God’s laws remain constant. When earthly laws contradict God’s Word, we must follow the prompting of His Holy Spirit.
