God’s word is beautiful and leads us to a greater understanding of Him, His love, and His plan for us. By storing up His word in our hearts, we rid ourselves of the negativity of this world and are instead filled with His beauty. When our hearts are full and overflowing with God’s word it is so much easier to resist the devil and his schemes.

Love, Believe, and Continue in the Truth
Take a look at 2 Thessalonians 2:9-15 (read more than that, for fuller context if you like). ‘The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not…
What if we always kept Scripture in sight?

God Always Provides
When we put God first and learn to be content with what we have, peace and joy abound far more than anything else.
Choose Joy
Choosing joy does not mean you forget the wrong that is happening around you. Choosing joy means that we clothe ourselves differently than the world around us. When we choose joy in the face of trials, the world sees us and asks how we can be joyful in such times. When we choose joy instead of arrogance, the world sees a servant willing to help instead of a self-righteous church-goer. When we choose joy over earthly desires, the world sees someone who is joyful and content without vices.
Put God First

The Love of Christ
You cannot claim to love anyone if you are willing to let them live in sin.
