Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to His Name.
• Hebrews 13:15

God is glorified by songs of praise from a pure heart filled with love and devotion to Him... God’s children are not to be subject to feelings and emotions. When they fluctuate between hope and fear, the heart of Christ is grieved; for He has given them unmistakable evidence of His love. He wants them to be established, strengthened, and settled in the most holy faith.

I will bless the Lord at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
• Psalm 34:1

Let praise and thanksgiving be expressed in song. When tempted, instead of giving utterance to our feelings, let us by faith lift up a song of thanksgiving to God. Song is a weapon that we can always use against discouragement... When the enemy seeks to enshroud the soul with darkness, sing faith, and talk faith, and you will find that you have sung and talked yourself into the light.
• Radiant Religion, p.246

• A Point To Ponder •
When darkness surrounds you, don't let your feelings have the final word. Pray, sing, give thanks, and speak faith.

Shout joyful praises to God, all the earth! Sing about the glory of His Name! Tell the world how glorious He is.
• Psalm 66:1, 2

To praise God in fulness and sincerity of heart is as much a duty as is prayer... Far more than we do, we need to speak of the precious chapters in our experience. After a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit, our joy in the Lord and our efficiency in His service would be greatly increased by recounting His goodness and His wonderful works on behalf of His children.
• Christ’s Object Lessons, p.299

Today, take time to remember what God has done for you—and then tell someone about His goodness. Your testimony may strengthen a discouraged heart and bring glory to His name.

We must continue to hold firmly to our declaration of faith. The One who made the promise is faithful.
• Hebrews 10:23

Heaven is full of blessings, and it is our privilege to claim the rich promises of God for our individual selves. We need to seek the Lord day and night so that we may know just what steps to take and just what we ought to do.
• My Life Today, p.62

*• A Point To Ponder •*
When God's promises become our own, they bring comfort to sorrow, courage to weakness, hope to discouragement, and peace to anxiety.

You will keep the mind that is dependent on You in perfect peace, for it is trusting in You.
• Isaiah 26:3

God has placed the promises in His Word to lead us to have faith in Him... All along our pathway, God places the flowers of promise to brighten our journey. But many refuse to gather these flowers, choosing instead the thorns and thistles. At every step, they weep and mourn when they might look at the promises of God and find comfort, hope, and joy, for they speak to us the words of the Infinite One.
• My Life Today, p.338

*• A Point To Ponder •*
Do not let the thorns make you forget the flowers. Along your pathway, God has scattered blessings to strengthen your heart. Gather them. Treasure them. Speak of them. Make them your own.

And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of heaven?
• Luke 16:11

The Creator of all things, He is the original proprietor. We are His stewards. All that we have is a trust from Him, to be used according to His direction… Money is not ours; houses and property, pictures and furniture, garments, and luxuries do not belong to us. We are pilgrims, we are strangers. We have only a grant of those things that are necessary for health and life. Our temporal blessings are given us in trust to prove whether we can be entrusted with eternal riches.
• Homeward Bound, p.206

*• A Point To Ponder •*
Our money is not merely a provision. It is a test. God is watching what we do with what He has placed under our stewardship.

He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much.
• Luke 16:10

The prophetic call came to Elisha while, with his father’s servants, he was ploughing in the field. He had taken up the work that lay nearest… While co-operating with his father in the home-life duties, he was learning to co-operate with God. By faithfulness in little things, Elisha was preparing for weightier trusts… None can know what God’s purpose in His discipline may be; but all may be certain that faithfulness in little things is the evidence of fitness for greater responsibilities. Every act of life is a revelation of character.
• Conflict & Courage, p.220

*• A Point To Ponder •*
You may pray for greater influence, greater opportunities, greater responsibility, greater usefulness. But perhaps God is saying: “Show Me your faithfulness where you are.”

Lord, you've given me all I need. I trust you. I put my future in your hands.
• Psalm 16:5

He who spoke peace to the billows of Galilee has spoken the word of peace for every soul. No matter how fierce the tempest, those who turn to Jesus with the cry, “Lord, save me,” will find deliverance... The heart that is in harmony with God is a partaker of the peace of heaven and will diffuse its blessed influence all around. The spirit of peace will rest like dew upon hearts weary and troubled with worldly strife.

*SEED FOR LIFE*
Avoid shameful and foolish talk and low jesting. They are all alike discreditable and in place of these give thanks.
• Ephesians 5:4

The giddy laugh, the jesting, the joking, sickens the soul that is feeding on Christ... Let no low witticism escape your lips. All frivolous words, all lightness and trifling, are enticements of the enemy to deprive you of spiritual strength... Lightness, jesting, and joking will result in the barrenness of the soul and the loss of the favour of God... Trim your lamps, and keep them burning, that wherever you may go, you may reveal in speech and action precious rays of light.
• Radiant Religion, p.237

*• A Point To Ponder •*
God does not forbid happiness, wholesome laughter, or genuine enjoyment. Rather, Scripture calls us to examine the quality and influence of what we allow into our minds and conversations.

Foolishness brings joy to those with no sense; a sensible person stays on the right path.
• Proverbs 15:21

We cannot be excusable in the sight of God if we engage in amusements which have a tendency to unfit us for the faithful performance of the ordinary duties of life, and thus lessen our relish for the contemplation of God and heavenly things. The religion of Christ is cheering and elevating in its influence. It is above everything like foolish jesting and joking, vain and frivolous chit-chat.

The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually... the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was filled with violence.
• Genesis 6:5, 11

God had given men His commandments as a rule of life, but His law was transgressed, and every conceivable sin was the result. The wickedness of men was open and daring, justice was trampled in the dust, and the cries of the oppressed reached unto heaven... The sins that called for vengeance upon the antediluvian world exist today. The fear of God is banished from the hearts of men, and His law is treated with indifference and contempt. The intense worldliness of that generation is equalled by that of the generation now living.
• Patriarchs & Prophets, p.90,101

*• A Point To Ponder •*
The world may become increasingly lawless, violent, and secular. But God's answer is not fear. It is faithfulness, an abiding walk with God.

When the Lord saw that the wickedness of man on the earth was great, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. But the earth was corrupt before the face of God, and the earth was filled with violence.
• Genesis 6:5 & 11

Our Father gave His commandments to man as a rule of life, but His law was transgressed, and every conceivable sin was the result. The wickedness of man was open and defiant, justice was trampled into the dust, and the cry of the oppressed ascended to heaven... The sins that cried out for vengeance upon the world before the flood exist today. The fear of God is banished from the hearts of men, and His law is treated with indifference and contempt. The intense worldliness of that generation is matched by that of the generation now living.• Patriarchs and Prophets, pp. 90 & 101

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
• Romans 12:21

Bitter feelings are foreign to the Spirit of Christ. When Jesus was reviled, mistreated, and insulted, He did not take revenge... Is the servant greater than his master? Christ gave us His life as an example... No grudge must enter our hearts... has your friendship and love turned into bitterness and hate? We must be less proud and less sensitive, have less self-love, and be dead to self-interest.

Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are false, who leave the straight path to walk in dark ways, who find joy in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil.
• Proverbs 2:12-14

Since the fall of Adam, there is a love for sin in the unconverted heart and a tendency to cherish and excuse it. The inclination toward sin and the desire for it indicate a deception of the soul. Every nurturing of that sinful desire strengthens the soul's averse hostility toward our Father... A continuous battle must be waged against our earthly disposition; we must be assisted by the ennobling influence of our Father's grace, which will elevate the mind and lead it to contemplate pure and holy things.
• Radiant Religion, p. 239

•A Point to Ponder•
Divine wisdom is not merely knowledge of what is right. It is allowing our Father to direct our thoughts so that we will increasingly love what is right and hate what is wrong.(FrontierOfHopeMinistry)

The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
• 2 Thessalonians 2:9,10

Those who are unwilling to accept the plain, cutting truths of the Bible are continually seeking for pleasing fables that will quiet the conscience... Too wise in their own conceit to search the Scriptures with contrition of soul and earnest prayer for divine guidance, they have no shield from delusion. Satan is ready to supply the heart’s desire, and he palms off his deceptions in the place of truth.... Every conceivable form of error will be accepted by those who willfully reject the truth.
• Great Controversy, p.523

*• A Point To Ponder •*
People do not necessarily become deceived because truth is unavailable; they can become deceived because they do not want the truth.

Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.
• Matthew 7:21

The soul that longs after the excitement of worldly pleasure, the mind that is full of love for display, cannot serve God... Such a one has no inclination to war against the lust of the flesh. He longs to indulge the appetite and chooses the atmosphere of sin. Though a church member, they are unconverted. They may take part in the church service, they may sing the hymns, but they testify to a falsehood. They are no more righteous in God’s sight than is the veriest sinner.
• Christ’s Object Lessons, p.270

*• A Point To Ponder •*
Church activity is not the same as spiritual transformation.

BUT know this, that in the last days perilous times will come. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away.
Always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
• ‭2 Timothy 3:1,2,4,5 & 7

One of the sins that forms part of the signs of the last days is that professing Christians are lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God... The true follower of Jesus cannot find pleasure in the frivolous, empty conversations of the world-lover... because the latter is merely satisfied with contemplating the religion of Christ, but knows nothing of its saving power. Obedience to the Word of God will lead them to separate themselves from all these things.

The seeds that fell among the thorns are those who hear, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the worries, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.
• Luke 8:14

Satan display the world with its most alluring, flattering charms to poor mortals, and as they gaze upon it, its glitter and tinsel eclipse the glory of heaven, and that life which is as enduring as the throne of God. A life of peace, happiness, joy unspeakable, which shall know nothing of sorrow, sadness, pain, nor death, is sacrificed for a short lifetime of sin.
• Radiant Religion, p.234

By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.
• Hebrews 11:24, 25

Moses was offered the palace of the Pharaohs and the throne; but the sinful pleasures that make men forget God were in those lordly courts... Instead of linking himself with the sin and the greatness of Egypt, he chose to bind up his life with God’s purpose... The greatness of Egypt is in the dust... All who will turn from the pleasures of earth, rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season, will receive the unfading crown of immortality, and the far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
