Hosea 3-4, Proverbs 23:17-35, Matthew 5:1-26
What God said to me – “ “I AM” the light of the world; the one who follows Me will not walk in darkness but will have the Light of life.” This is exactly why I also say of My children “you are the light of the world.” You have Me living in you and when you walk with Me in obedience and holiness, My Light will shine through you for others to see. They will see Me in you as you do the good works I direct you to do. So, when you receive acknowledgment or credit or gratitude for the good works you have done, you must be careful to always redirect their praise to Me. If you want to reach the lost for Me and make an impact for My kingdom then your good works should bring glory to Me, not to you. All that you have and are and are able to do is because I have gifted you and enabled you and provided for you so glorify Me in your doing.
