| Monday 1 Peter 3:9 I don’t repay evil for evil. I don’t retaliate when people say unkind things about me. Instead, I pay them back with a blessing. That is what God wants me to do, and He will bless me for it. Tuesday 1 Peter 3:10 For the Scriptures say, “If you want a happy life and good days, keep your tongue from speaking evil, and keep your lips from telling lies… Wednesday 1 Peter 3:11 “...Turn away from evil and do good. Work hard at living in peace with others… Thursday 1 Peter: 3:12 “...The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right, and His ears are open to their prayers. But the Lord turns His face against those who do evil.” Friday 1 Peter 3:13 Now, who will want to harm me if I am eager to do good? Zingers from Croft M. Pentz, Tyndale House Publishers 4546. We are saved by God’s mercy, not by our merit-–by Christ’s dying, not by our doing. 4547. You cannot repent too soon because you don’t know how soon it may be too late. 4548. If you refuse Christ because you feel you are not good enough, you are settling for less than God made you to be. 4549. To say, “I’m not good enough to be a Christian,” is a bit like saying, “I’m not healthy enough to go to the hospital.” 4550. God saves us not for what we are, but for what He can make us. |
