Mark 2:18 Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. Some people came and asked Jesus, “How is it that John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but yours are not?”
May I not fall prey to questioning other people’s spirituality because they are not like me. 

Mark 2:22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins.”
The Lord wants to change me from the inside out, transforming my heart, attitude, spirit, and mind. 

Proverbs 18:11 The wealth of the rich is their fortified city; they imagine it a wall too high to scale. 
Worldly wealth neither protects nor replaces God.

Revelation 18:20 “Rejoice over her, you heavens! Rejoice, you people of God! Rejoice, apostles and prophets! For God has judged her with the judgment she imposed on you.” 
When God’s final judgment comes, it will be a time for His people to rejoice.

Mark 1:18 At once they left their nets and followed him.
Following after Jesus means leaving some other things behind. Lord, may I “walk towards” and also “walk away from.”

Revelation 9:20-21 The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts. 
There will be people in my life who will simply refuse to repent no matter what they see or hear.

Revelation 8:1 When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 
Since the Lord is worshipped 24 hours per day at all times for eternity, 30 minutes of silence in Heaven is not to be taken lightly. Clearly, the end of the world is not a trivial matter, even in the eyes of the Almighty God.

Revelation 2:21-23 I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds. 
The Lord gives us a finite time to repent. If we are unwilling to do so, we shall suffer the consequences.

1 John 5:18We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them.
Only eternity will show how much Jesus protected us from the devil.  

Jude 1:18-19 They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit. 
May I not be deceived by those who follow evil ways.
