BUT... to do justice (Micah 6:8)

He has told you, O man, what is good;   

and what does the Lord require of you

BUT..

 to do justice,

and to love kindness,

and to walk humbly with your God?

Micah 6:8

Are you seeking something from God today? He has told us what to do. Just for a moment stop and make sure you are offering justice to others, the greatest way to show kindness is to give it.
Start a chain of a random act of kindness today. and most of all
realize who you are walking with... GOD himself.

BUT... take heart; I have overcome the world (John 16:33)

"I (Jesus) have said these things to you,

that in Me you may have peace.

 In the world you will have tribulation.

BUT... take heart; I have overcome the world.”

John 16:33

Some people think that when you become a Christian your life will be easy. This verse reminds us that as long as we are on this earth we will have troubles.
BUT... when we look to Jesus we can overcome anything.

BUT... when you ask Him (James 1:5)

If you need wisdom, ask our generous God,
and He will give it to you...

BUT... when you ask HIM
make sure that your faith is in
God alone.

James 1:5
God wants us to come before Him and give Him our desires.
 He is most please when we ask for His wisdom. 

BUT... Godliness has value for all things (1 Timothy 4:8)

For physical training is of some value,

 BUT... Godliness has value for all things,

 holding promise for both the present life 

and the life to come.

1 Tim 4:8

It is awesome that I am surrounded by so many people that are into running and taking care of their physical bodies. When I read this verse it really challenged me> Let's begin today to put in as much time to our Godliness training as we do our physical training. Use the time you run or exercise to praise Him,
It is a great time to pray for others too. 

BUT... the Lord looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7)

The Lord does not look at the things people look at.
People look at the outward appearance,

BUT the Lord looks at the heart.

1 Samuel 16:7

 Our pastor gave us this verse to think about today. Take a minute to think about how often we have made it a habit to judge what someone can or cannot do for us based on their outward appearance. I challenge you this week to see everyone equally as someone God loves!

BUT... don't just listen to God's word (James 1:22)

BUT...don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Other wise you are only fooling yourselves.

James 1:22
To often we sit and listen to God's word and we don't think it applies to us or we say well I am not perfect, I try my best.
 BUT... be careful not to fool yourself ....with God's strength we must do what it says.

BUT... now you must put them all away (Col 3:8)

 BUT now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.

Colossians  3:8

Building off our last BUT about physical training look at the above things as fat, things that weigh you down. You can get rid of them! Pray that they be removed, next ask to be alerted to them (they may have become such a way of life and thinking you don't even realize they are there), if necessary find a partner and ask them to hold you accountable.

BUT... Godliness has value for all things (1 Tim 4:18)

For physical training is of some value,

 BUT... Godliness has value for all things,

 holding promise for both the present life 

and the life to come.

1 Tim 4:18

It is awesome that I am surrounded by so many people that are into running and taking care of their physical bodies. When I read this verse it really challenged me> Let's begin today to put in as much time to our Godliness training as we do our physical training. Use the time you run or exercise to praise Him,
