Be Thankful. God Takes Action with the One Who Knows

Psalm 18:25 
To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless

Psalm 49:20 
People who have wealth but lack understanding are like the beasts that perish.

Proverbs 17:12 
Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool bent on folly.

Luke 12:47 
The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows.

Matthew 24:45 
Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time?

1 Thessalonians 5:4 
But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.

Be Thankful

Even if you are saved just once, you still need to give thanks for your entire lifetime. Whenever you’re in need of help, you should make sure to always thank the one who is helping you, especially the one who saved your spirit. Know how valuable all the things God has done for you and given you are.  God is your life, so gain strength through Him. 

You need to take action wholeheartedly with all your soul and mind in order to realize what God has done for you and to escape the world of suffering. 

Victory Through Unity With the Lord

We must not fall astray from the Lord but instead act together with the one sent for this time period. If we fight by ourselves during tribulations, form conclusions with our own thoughts, or take action according to our own will, we will lose. Those who dwell within their own thoughts are those who live confined in death. Those who are united with the Lord will win. Only the Lord can win against Satan and rule over life. 

Treat God and Your Blessings Valuably

There are two main ways to receive more blessings from God: value everything that God has already given you and be thankful. Being thankful is paying the price for the things you have received. The more you regard and treat God valuably, the more He will lead you, help you, and bless you. Value what is valuable and God will give you more. 

Since God is the owner, He protects what belongs to Him. Try rejoicing and cherishing things from God’s perspective. The more we use what God has given to us in valuable ways, the more God will allow us to deeply realize the next valuable thing.
