Man’s Concerns

Abiding in Christ

John 15:5 

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

1 John 2:28 

And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming.

2 John 1:9 

Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.

Afflictions

Job 5:7 

Yet man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward.

2 Corinthians 4:17 

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

Hebrews 12:11 

No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

Anger

Psalms 37:8 

Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil.

Proverbs 16:32 

Better a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city.

James 1:19 

My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,

Jesus Prayed

Think of what you face today? If it is your habit to ask “what would Jesus do?” you can sure from His example that He would pray first.
Let’s make that our pattern too.
