Judgement day is a foundation of Christianity. Despite its massive importance, I rarely write about it. Why is it so important?
#1 What I do today will be reviewed on that day.
#2 How I help others will be reviewed on that day.
#3 Mathew 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”
My thoughts become my words. Ouch. Today I need to work on changing my thoughts and my words.
#4 2 Corinthians 5:10 ESV For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.”
Everyone would obey God’s commands more if they thought about judgement day often. Consider praying:
“Father, remind me often about judgement day. That thought inspires me greatly to turn from thoughts of _______.”
Second, today I was praying about how I can inspire myself to get away from my foolish, waste of time activities? Solution: Memorize this verse. My waste of time activities bring zero joy. When I do good, my joy begins to overflow.
Third, when we give in to sinful pleasure, will we be reminded of that one day in the future? The Bible says: Proverbs 9:10
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”
Fourth, I don’t pray about doing God’s will often enough. God’s will is taken from right out of the Lord’s prayer – “Thy will be done.” Consider praying:
“Father, help me to pray “Thy will be done” five times per day. I want to do Your will.”
Finally, one of the biggest reasons we have bad habits is because we don’t know what “To do.” Today we have two verses (underlined) for you to consider memorizing. These verses are hammers that will begin to pound out your habit. Write them down, print them out, put them in your phone. Now we have something to do and new things to think about.
