“9 THINGS”

Here is a list of 9 things that I read earlier this year that can make a great impact on your life if you put them to use….Aaron Ownbey

  1. Always Put God First In Our Lives – We (humans) exist to bring glory and honor to God and to teach others the love and compassion that God offers if we obey His word. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” (Proverbs 9:10)
  2. Strive To Follow Jesus Daily – Jesus came and gave us the example to follow. If we strive to be like him every day we will have a greater example on those close to us. “He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.” (1 John 2:6) “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)
  3. Try To Study the Bible Often – The Bible is the only guidebook on how we can enjoy eternity. “And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.” (Acts 20:32). “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” (Psalm 119:105)
  4. Stay In Constant Communication With God – Praying keeps us in a close relationship to God. The more we talk to him and rely on him, the closer we are to him. “Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;” (Romans 12:12) “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)
  5. Try To Keep Your Thoughts Positive – Our life is what our thoughts make it. “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.” (Proverbs 17:22) “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4:23)
  6. Strive To Improve Yourself Consistently – Try to find the best in every situation even when it is not the easiest of things to do. “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” (Philippians 4:13) “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:14)
  7. Always Do The Right Thing – Character is the sum of all our choices. Not to mention this is also the Kid Sing motto. “As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.” (Proverbs 27:19) “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” (Proverbs 4:18)
  8. Love Everyone And Strive To Be Kind – God put us on earth to help lift others up to heaven. “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” (Matthew 7:12) “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16)
  9. Be A Faithful Member Of The Lord’s Church – Christ is counting on us to continue what He was doing while on earth. “From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint suppli-eth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.” (Ephesians 4:16) “Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life” (Revelation 2:10).
