3 important attitudes in the Christian life
There are some things without which we cannot live: water, air, and food. In the Christian life there are also essential things: reading the Bible and learning from it, praying, and having fellowship with other believers. These three things help us grow and remain strong in Jesus. Without them, our faith grows cold, wavers, and dies.
Read the Bible and learn from it:
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
- 2 Timothy 3:16–17
In the Word of God you will find direction for your life, encouragement in the midst of difficulties, and wisdom to do the things that please God.
Discover the power of prayer:
Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant for himself;
the Lord hears when I call to him.
- Psalm 4:3
The Lord listens to the cry of those who are faithful to Him. Speak to the Lord and allow God to guide your steps.
Gather with other brothers and sisters in the faith:
How good and pleasant it is
when God’s people live together in unity!
It is like precious oil poured on the head,
running down on the beard,
running down on Aaron’s beard,
down on the collar of his robe.
It is as if the dew of Hermon
were falling on Mount Zion.
For there the Lord bestows his blessing,
even life forevermore.
- Psalm 133:1–3
God sends blessings and salvation when we gather with the purpose of praising together and encouraging one another. Value the family of faith and be present!

Yesterday's Word
Let us be salt and light
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said that His disciples are the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven
- Matthew 5:13–16
Jesus did not place any condition on our making a difference. He did not say that one day we would become salt and light if we did this or that. He said that we already are! This means that being salt and light is part of our identity as children of God. If we are disciples of the Lord, then naturally we should contribute our salt and our light for the spiritual well-being of the world.
But what does this mean in practice? Salt was very valuable in Jesus’ time. It helped preserve food so it would not spoil immediately. Back then, people did not have refrigerators in their homes. Salt was used to prevent food from decaying. In the same way, when we bring the flavor of Christ, we help keep society from declining and becoming corrupted.
We are also called to carry the light of Christ wherever we go. When we speak His words, love with His love, show His compassion, and fight for Christ’s justice in the world, we are being light. People see this and recognize the great impact of God’s movement in people’s lives.
Carry the Lord’s light and help preserve this world from the corruption of the enemy. Be salt and light for the glory of God!

Take refuge in the Lord
God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
- Psalm 46:1–3
It is normal in life to face difficult moments: illnesses, misunderstandings with loved ones, work problems, financial difficulties, and many other things. These are situations that appear in life without warning and turn everything upside down.
Each of these circumstances tries to steal our peace, makes us anxious, and sometimes even leads us to despair. However, we must remember that, as children of God, we have the help and presence of the Almighty God.
The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
- Psalm 46:7
Don’t forget! You can always bring your anxieties before God and take refuge in Him. There is no problem in this world greater than our God. Trust in Him and in His power. Come to Him in prayer and do what He places in your heart to do. You will see that when you take refuge in the Lord, your perspective on the situation changes, and you begin to experience His peace in the midst of the storm.
