It is possible for believers to seek victory with wrong motives. In fact, many reasons that sound good are actually selfish. For example, I’m tired of being in this mess, or Lord, I can’t run away, so You’ll have to remove this problem, or even, If I had more money, then I’d give more to the church. At the end of the day, the right motive is a desire to follow, serve, and honor God.

The Importance of Right Motives (made with Spreaker)

10 “You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me.  Isaiah 43:10

The One and Only God (made with Spreaker)

I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.  

As we seek to grow in grace and live godly in Christ Jesus let us choose to adopt an attitude in stark contrast with the foolish, fretful, disobedient, and rebellious ways of the world and discover the unfathomable value of that little word 'BUT' - BUT as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. BUT as for me, I will watch expectantly for the LORD. But as for me, I will wait for the God of my salvation and My God will hear me.

Learning To Wait (made with Spreaker)

Looking Unto Jesus (made with Spreaker)

Proverbs describe the importance of living wisely and in the fear of the Lord as opposed to following the seductive path of folly.  We should never engage with others looking to deliberately cause trouble.  We as Christians have to be bigger than any situation to avoid useless conflict.

Avoiding Contention (made with Spreaker)

5 Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. 6 Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. Colossians 4:5-6
