The scriptures tell us to do everything within our power to live at peace with all people. That means try to be the peace maker in any situation you can. If you feel like you can’t be the one to forgive, how would you fare if Christ thought the same way? Besides, what does it say about you if you CAN forgive? If you’re the one that CAN bring peace? https://www.instagram.com/p/BvLYc88F7Em/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1377mpt258rq
I’m sure not a lot of people will like to see this, but this come straight from the King: if you want to be great (as a Christian) you must serve the needs of others. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuJi45ZFrKi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2cwagtlk3ecd
How do you know if you’re really letting the Holy Spirit guide you to be more like Christ? When people who aren’t your own start to matter to you. When the human race becomes your tribe and you see the need and hurt of others and it matters to you, then you know the Lord is really doing a work in you. You’d have a hard time calling yourself a follower of Christ and have decided some people aren’t with it. If Jesus had an ounce of that mentality, we’d all be in serious doo doo. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt2r5u4lJVl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d8e41x1uc7hy
This is just a fancy way of saying have integrity. The more I learn about my faith the more precious I believe it to be. Jesus did an amazing thing for us and to be called by His name is such an honor. It irritates me when people call themselves Christian and do anti-Christian things... like me when I act like a jerk. I wish I could honor Christ as much as He deserves to be honored but unfortunately I’m too human and not yet uncomfortable enough with my sins. However, God is full of mercy and grace and loves me anyway. It’s this mercy and grace that make it possible for me to have the integrity I wish to have. By His grace, I’m able to walk I His ways. https://www.instagram.com/p/BtxPx3wllIC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=83x2b9yejxm8
Maaaaaan.... God’s timing is on point. I’m over here talking about intentionality, semi-worried about the sacrifices that’ll be necessary to be on mission for the Lord in my daily rhythms and then boom. This happens. Listen to the leadings of the Spirit, y’all. God is good and His timing is perfect if you’re ears and heart are open to Him. https://www.instagram.com/p/BtkZLAuFqrv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=b24bjvt69lfn
This is probably one of the hardest virtues for me to adapt to, therefore it’s probably one of the most important. Jesus was intentional in His mission and purpose in serving the Lord. Whatever gift God has given you, lean into it as service to the Lord. https://www.instagram.com/p/BtfYdQpF21B/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=196bxtw9tmbeo
The peace Jesus offers cant be found in worldly or human things, but it is a peace that surpasses all we could ever hope for. https://www.instagram.com/p/BtSDCFjFkQw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k7hr1q8sc35m
Before Humble Strong existed I was asking God to help me be more patient. This verse helped me then and is apt now. We live in a time when we’re quicker to react to what people say than truly listen, converse or present our thoughts, arguments or positions in a rational manner. Peter was a reactionary while Jesus was a listener. Strive to be less like Peter and more like Jesus. https://www.instagram.com/p/BtFnce4lLp3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1srpl8wgumobv
Sometimes you’ll walk into a room and it will go silent. Should you fear or should you see this as an opportunity? When the light of the Lord is in you, the enemy is on notice. He will come for you. He will attack you and fight dirty. Expect this. But know also the if the enemy is on notice, aware of you, and coming for you, he’s also intimidated by Christ in you. Rest in the Lord and see the enemy’s lies and tricks for what they are. You are a child of the Living God—His beloved child. Know your place and your worth in Him and listen to His voice above any other. https://www.instagram.com/p/BtAVZcCl64s/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1atv8dpzuruca
Been harpin on this all week—everything starts with Jesus. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bszk1YXlWpz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cxhyxbyar614
Because He’s generous like that. But the potency of this kind of wisdom comes from knowing, walking and talking with Him. The fullness of godly wisdom comes from intimacy with Him https://www.instagram.com/p/BsuYnCNlZO5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qolslu5asl7m
Wisdom is a gift from God that can be given in a time of need, but it’s also a mindset—wisdom comes from knowing God is real, seeking Him and respecting His commands. This is what “fear” of the Lord is, it’s awe of Him. That is where wisdom starts. It continues through seeking and practicing His commands everyday. The hardest, simplest, easiest command to remember is love. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bso8h0El8z1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ecnpvl959074
There are many fields of study worthy of our attention and concentration, yet the one that should be primary is the study of the Word of the Lord. Contextually, I mean word as in Logos, aka, Jesus. Jesus shows up in everything. You don’t have to be weird about your study of the Lord. If you’re having a conversation about construction you don’t have to Jesus-Juke your friends when talking about concrete or whatever, but you could think about how your work helps build Jesus’ kingdom or how your integrity represents Him. Think of how you Jesus shows up in the spaces you occupy and the fields you find interesting. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsb62q0lP-c/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9i3lphrswn47
The second virtue of Humble Strong is that of discipleship. The idea here is that of continuous study and openness to learn. Jesus is the truth and if you are open you will see Him in everything, even places that don’t seem to have anything to do with Him. I firmly believe that faith in Jesus can withstand any theological, philosophical or scientific scrutiny or testing and our God is not fragile and can bear our questioning (questioning in the sense of seeking answers, not impudent talkback. He can handle that too, I just don’t think talking back to God is a good idea). https://www.instagram.com/p/BsV6lXUlj5G/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tvwpp8p3b8k0
The first virtue of Humble Strong is prayer. Conversing with God is essential to doing anything well in this life. Remember to make this a practice as common as thinking. Don’t “hash things out” in your head (it’s nothing more than an echo chamber). Instead, invite God unto the conversation and see where Je leads you and how He can help you. https://www.instagram.com/p/BsUIcvCFl4o/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=brwbn6jrb8xr
How do you avoid temptation and sin that pops into your life? How do you make the right choice in a difficult situation? How do you figure out Gods will for your circumstance? Now you know. https://www.instagram.com/p/BpFMg6LBPrn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r3zwdbq56fvz
If you’re gonna be angry, be angry at things that keep people from knowing the truth and beauty of the Lord. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo_--1uBa5v/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y2hywww4fo8h
