I was watching a sermon by Dr. Charles Stanley on the steps we should all take to stay on the Christian track. I wrote them down and thought I’d share them with you.
1. Schedule prayer and meditation daily on God’s Word.
2. Obey God and let Him handle the consequences.
3. Trust God in every circumstance.
4. Wait on the Lord for His direction.
5. Depend upon the Holy Spirit.
6. Remember that God loves you unconditionally.
7. Give generously to God with both your money and your time.
8. Rest in the assurance that God is in control of your life.
9. Keep your eyes on your final destination, which is heaven.
Isaiah 64:4 – For since the beginning of the world men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, who acts for the one who waits for Him.
Psalm 1:1-3 – Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation. Give heed to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I will pray. My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up.
John 14:15 – If you love Me, keep My commandments.
John 14:21 – He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to Him.
John 14:23 – If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
Proverbs 1:1-2 – My son, do not forget My law, but let your heart keep My commands; for length of days and long life and peace they will add to you.
