God Will Show Me Where I Should Go


Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk, for I give myself to you.
Psalms 143:8 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/psa.143.8.NLT


God will show me what I'm supposed to do.  I need to remember God's unfailing love for me.  He knows what the plan for my life is and He will show me what to do.

Don't Let Bad Examples Influence You

Don't Let Bad Examples Influence You


Dear friend, don’t let this bad example influence you. Follow only what is good. Remember that those who do good prove that they are God’s children, and those who do evil prove that they do not know God.
3 John 1:11 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/3jn.1.11.NLT


Follow the good examples of good people God has put in your life.  Sometimes there are Christians that do not set a good example, but not all Christians are like that.  I should follow the good examples of Christians who do what God says.

I must Do what God Says, not just Listen to the Word


But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.
James 1:22 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/jas.1.22.NLT


If I love God you must not only listen to the world, I must also do what it says.  It is how I show that I am not a hypocrite.  I do what the Bible says and don't just read the Word.

God Shows us the Truth about Jesus through His Testimony


All who believe in the Son of God know in their hearts that this testimony is true. Those who don’t believe this are actually calling God a liar because they don’t believe what God has testified about his Son.
1 John 5:10 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/1jn.5.10.NLT

I know the truth about Jesus because of the testimony of Jesus.  God has shown me who He is through His Son, Jesus, and God's testimony is true.

Loving Each Ohrther Means we Follow God


Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God.
1 John 4:7 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/1jn.4.7.NLT

I will show God's love to others by loving other people.  It is the way I show other people that I know God, by loving other people, since it's a command to love other people.

God Knows the Plans He Has for Me


For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/jer.29.11.NLT


I know that God has good plans for me, no matter how hard or difficult life may seem.  He has good plans for me. This scripture was written when everything seemed bad for Israel, but God knew what His plans for them were.

God knows the plans he has for me, and they are a future and a hope, that's why I can trust God to lead and guide me in what I'm supposed to do.

Living in God means Living My Life as Jesus Did


Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did.
1 John 2:6 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/1jn.2.6.NLT


If I want to say that I live in God, I must live my life as Jesus did, listening to God's Word and doing what it says.  Following God means living in God and living like Jesus did.  

That means hearing God's Word and doing what it says.  It is how I show my testimony, doing what the Bible says, and showing Jesus to others through how I live.
