(KJV.) PHILIPPIANS 4:8
(8) Finally, brethren, Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
VIRTUE AND PRAISE!
Grace be unto you! As a human, if the man gets an offer to choose between a bible and a million dollar check; what will be his choice? Ponder over it; to buy a brand new Bible, one can spend about five up to a hundred dollars depending on the preference; therefore, in the practical sense, anyone will prefer to have the million dollars, instead of the Bible, but think of this way, the Bible, is the book of life; those who have a bible can testify of what it can do, it has the power to transform, enlighten, strengthen lives, etc., on the other hand, if you choose the million dollar check, that's alright as well, because money is important, however, the enemy can breathe his evil breath upon your blessing, enticing you to lavish it on fleshly desires, if that happens, you lose the opportunity to own a Bible; tell me! what will be your profit for under the sun?; many times, the man owns a bible for the sake of righteousness, but have no desire to read its contents; if that is the case for you; starting from today, be encouraged to read at least a verse per day; see what happens, you will be happy you did; if you do not have a bible, ask Jesus to send you one, you will be surprised how many bibles you will receive to share with others.
Those of us who cherish the Bible as the word of God, read it on daily basis, meditating upon its words, preaching, and sharing its contents with others; the ball is in our court today; as we have read this scripture, it is important to exemplify its virtues and praise, testify of its usefulness; but first of all, let us conform ourselves in righteousness, endeavor to be truthful, genuine, faithful and legitimate in our undertakings, be honest, honesty is integrity, earnestness, uprightness, fairness, never choose a life full of deceptions, it is ungodly; speak the truth guided by faith, never turn the opposite direction when you perceive injustices, be gentle, but let your sincerity show in matters that concern other people, endeavor to live a sanctified life, holiness leads to godliness, avoid the encumbrances that contaminate spirits; be lovely, have a sense of upholding what is moral and spiritually beautiful, have a good sense of humor, avoiding the unrighteous way of living, indulging in the righteousness of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, be merciful to others, Jesus is merciful!
Beloved, the virtues of a true Christian is the aura of Christ; therefore, as we read his words, his words transform our lives to be in his likeness; his words are spirits, and life, cf. John 6:63; they are the lights that illuminate our souls; can you imagine what will happen to a burning lamp when its oil runs out, read the book of Matthew 25:1-13; read the scriptures every day, to oil your lamp, allow your virtues to show with praises and thanksgivings to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, shine, be touch lights to the world of darkness, that the remnants may perceive your lights. Continue to Love one another as yourself! Jesus is coming back again soon! Peace and Love be unto you! Have a wonderful Day!
WORD OF WISDOM:
(KJV.) Ecclesiastes 5:2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
