Because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. — John 15:19

 Sometimes Christians present the truth insensitively, which invites hostility and rejection.  But despite our best efforts, we occasionally face antagonism. When this happens, we should react with kindness and humility rather than with vengeance or anger (Mt. 5:43–44; Rom. 12:17–21). The world's hostility is always best combated by the gracious response of love. 

You need not worry about the world's rejection if you are confident in God's approval. I desire a love that is ever-sweet and enduring.

I desire the love that patiently bears wrongs whether they come from an adversary or a friend, regardless of what my Father's hand chooses to deliver.

When I am old and grayheaded, O God, do not forsake me, until I declare Your strength to this generation. — Psalm 71:18

 The child of God is in a better position than anyone else to see ageing positively and with an eye towards the future. Although jumping out of an aeroplane may be impossible due to physical limits, there are numerous more brave—and more admirable—acts that you can carry out. Being steadfast in faith when bodily power fails is more noble than any physical accomplishment. 

Nothing is more honourable than to put your faith in God while people are telling you that "God has forsaken him" (Psalm 71:11). Nothing is more important than telling the next generation about the power of the Lord (v. 18). 

As we get older, we confront a lot of challenges.

But who can enjoy life more than those who have firsthand knowledge of the Lord's faithfulness and the conviction that the best is yet to come? 

The number of years increases, while God's faithfulness keeps growing. We are never too old to smile, laugh, or sing. We are also never too old to have a childlike faith in the blessings each day will bring.

You have bought Me no sweet cane with money, nor have you satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices. — Isaiah 43:24

 Our giving to the Lord should include more than handing Him a “tip” on Sunday from money that’s left over when the bills are paid. It should include all acts of devotion that cost us something.

In today’s Bible reading, God’s people had failed to learn this lesson. They didn’t offer Him “sweet cane” (Isa. 43:24)—a gift that would have required self-sacrifice.

According to Jeremiah, this expensive delicacy came from “a far country” (Jer. 6:20). It was one of the ingredients God instructed Moses to use in the formula for the holy anointing oil (Ex. 30:23), and it was used in the sanctuary to produce a sweet-smelling sacrifice. An Israelite who brought sweet cane was expressing a sacrificial kind of giving that pleased God. 

Ask yourself the following searching question: Is my life characterized by acts of self-denial, the gifts of sweet cane that mean so much to the Lord? How grieved the Savior must be when we don’t offer Him worship and gifts that come from our heart! 

Don’t be satisfied to get by with a minimum of giving and service. Offer the Lord the sweet cane of a zealous, sacrificial life. 

Self-sacrifice is the true measure of our giving.

The gifts we offer to the Lord

Are by His standards measured;

Our sacrifice and lives of praise—

Such gifts are highly treasured.

Let us go on to perfection. — Hebrews 6:1

 As narcissistic as that title may sound, it might help us understand how we, as followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, should regard ourselves as we strive to imitate Him throughout our lives. According to the Bible, we must keep improving each day if we want to resemble Christ more and more. 

We refer to the process of becoming more like Christ as sanctification. When we place our trust in Christ to atone for our sins, it starts. We are "set apart" from the ungodly in God's eyes, or sanctified, and included in His family. But sanctification is also the continuing process through which, as we allow the Holy Spirit to imbue us with His attributes, we begin to resemble our Saviour more and more. 

Our responsibility is to "press on," making an effort to develop spiritually (Phil. 3:12). 

Do you think your spiritual appearance has improved since yesterday? It's a wonderful litmus test for how closely you are following Jesus. 

The development of a saint takes a lifetime; the new birth just lasts a moment. My will gradually gives way as I become more and more like my Saviour, until at last Christ rules supreme in my grateful heart.

I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes. — Romans 1:16

 Such stories actually don't offer anything fresh. They are merely updated versions of practises that have existed since the first disobedience of God by Adam and Eve. 

What then is actual news? It isn't the kind of behaviour that comes effortlessly; rather, it is the kind of behaviour that requires more guts and strength than we have. It's news when someone behaves in a holy, loving, and universally beneficial manner. 

That sort of news is recorded in the Bible. It explains that since Jesus died on the cross for our sins, we can get forgiveness. God sends His Holy Spirit to us when we receive Him to help us become good and accomplish good.

If a man dies, shall he live again? — Job 14:14

 What occurs to us once we pass away? People have been captivated by that enigma throughout history. 

Researchers have tentatively suggested that they might be getting close to an answer. They are investigating claims made by people who say they had near-death encounters that transported them outside of time and space. Some analysts believe that additional study will eventually unlock the death riddle. 

Do we have to wait in dread for their decision? No way at all! What happens after death has already been made clear by God in the Bible. 

When we die, we will be "present with the Lord" if we have placed our faith in God's Son, Jesus Christ, as our Saviour (2 Cor. 5:8).

According to Paul's statement in 1 Corinthians 15:54, "Death is swallowed up in victory" because Christ died for our sins and resurrected from the dead. The harsh judgement of God and an eternity in hell, however, will befall those who reject Christ (Rev. 20:11–15).

The Bible is a good place to look for answers about what happens to us after we pass away. It provides us with God's response to the age's most important query. The empty tomb of Christ convinces us that the enigma has already been resolved. 

Death is not a tragedy; it is a triumph because Christ survives. He lives, and He gives me each day's breath; He lives, and I will overcome death; He lives, and He prepares my future; He lives, and He brings me there securely.

I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content. — Philippians 4:11

 A lot of people resemble that elderly cow. They believe that the "grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." They never stop grabbing, desiring, and trying to get their hands on things that are not theirs. What a wretched bunch they are! What foolishness discontentment is! 

The greatest blessings in life are already yours if you identify as a Christian. Your home is in heaven, and your father is God. Heb. 13:5 states that He will never abandon you, and Phil. 4:19 states that He will meet all of your needs. So be content and offer God thanks for everything He has given you. With that kind of mentality, you will come to realise how beautiful the grass is on your side of the fence. This is a lesson.

Even when they receive much more, the majority of individuals aren't happy with their situation. With You to lead and care for me, I would be peaceful and comfortable, knowing that all of my needs would be met. My joy is this: Not one little need will You forget!

Peter went out and wept bitterly. — Luke 22:62

 Two of Jesus' disciples turned against Him the night before He was killed. When Judas betrayed Christ, He was confronted in the Garden by His adversaries (Lk. 22:47–48). And Peter repeatedly said he didn't even know the Lord (vv. 57–60). 

However, there was a significant difference in what they did afterwards. Judas hanged himself (Mt. 27:5), whereas Peter sobbed painful tears of sorrow and was subsequently tenderly restored (v.62; Jn. 21:15-17). 

The crucial factor after committing a sin is what we do next. What should we do after losing our temper and saying something hurtful to a member of our family? What should we do if a coworker is treated unfairly? What should we do if we realise we are thinking evil ideas all the time? 

Making excuses, defending our wrong behaviour, blaming others, or ignoring God simply serves to compound the original sin.

The Holy Spirit may have shown up a sin in your life to you as you were reading this. If so, you have a decision to make: admit your sin and turn to God (1 John 1:9), or keep denying that you have a problem with it.

Don't add more sin to your previous transgression. Take it right away in fervent confession to the Lord. What you do next is what matters most!

 

Denial makes our sin worse; confession makes it go away. What do we learn about ourselves from 1 John 1:8–10?

What response should we have to sin in our lives? (1 Jn. 1:9).

What underlies our ability to forgive? (1 Jn. 2:1-2).

With God all things are possible. — Matthew 19:26

 I have known Christ as my Saviour and Lord since I was a young child. He has appeared to me as the great Potter who can restore order to the broken bits of both my life and the lives of others. I've enjoyed witnessing the transformation of many otherwise hopeless drug addicts in Christ.  

Do you or a loved one feel broken and shattered today? Keep in mind that no one is helpless and unreachable by God. According to Jesus (Matthew 19:26), "With God all things are possible." 

Never give up, even when it seems impossible to mend the broken pieces of life. We have a King who can mend broken relationships.
