1 Kings 3:12
I have done as you said: I have given you a wise and far-seeing heart, so that there has never been your equal in the past, and never will there be any like you in the future.

Solomon was one-of-a-kind. He was wiser than anyone has ever been or ever will be, but he still allowed something else to pull his heart away from the Lord. Maybe that’s why, in the New Testament, Paul doesn’t encourage you to become wiser, but encourages you to put on love because what you love ends up consuming you. So, be wise and love God.

2 Peter 1:10-11
Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things, you will never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Think of it as an investment. The time you spend on earth in prayer, in worship, in studying God’s word, none of it is in vain. It’s an investment in eternity. And the more you can know God on earth, the less you’ll stumble with the things of this world that try to pull you away from Him. So, take time and invest in what’s most important today.

Psalm 119:93
I will never forget Your precepts, for by them You have given me life.

If you want to pass a test, you have to remember all the things that your teacher taught. And God’s given you some very essential teachings on how to live life in this difficult world, but if you don’t take the time to learn them, inevitably, life will be even more challenging. That’s why the Psalmist promises to never forget the teachings of His great God.

John 6:35
And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: he who comes to Me shall never hunger; and he who believes on Me shall never thirst.

Every day your body tries to trick you into thinking that filling your stomach is the most crucial part of your day, but the truth is, filling your spirit is much more important. Think about it, when you eat the food of this world, in a few hours, you’ll have to do it again. But when you eat from Jesus, you will never hunger for what the world offers again, because you realize true sustenance is only found in Him.

Romans 5:21
So that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Are you still striving to earn God’s approval? Then, it’s time to let the grace of God reign in your life and rest on the finished work of Christ on the cross. When you handed over your sins to Jesus, they no longer became yours to carry. They were crushed under the mercy, love, and grace of Jesus Christ. And now, your eternity is secured forever.

1 Timothy 1:16
But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display His immense patience as an example for those who would believe in Him and receive eternal life.

No one is beyond the reach of God’s mercy. It might feel like you’re one of the worst sinners, but Paul wants to remind you that if God can show him mercy and grace, then you can trust that He will do the same for you. And now that you’ve experienced that mercy and grace, make sure you share it with others.
