Better Moves

It takes maturity and security to make better moves. 

Make Better Moves Simple-

WATCH/LISTEN.

Listen and hear my voice; pay attention and hear what I say. -Isaiah‬ ‭28:23‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Whoever listens to what is taught will succeed, and whoever trusts the Lord will be happy. -Proverbs‬ ‭16:20‬ ‭NCV‬‬

Keep a close watch on how you live and on your teaching. Stay true to what is right for the sake of your own salvation and the salvation of those who hear you.‭‭ -1 Timothy‬ ‭4:16‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Keep your eyes focused on what is right, and look straight ahead to what is good. ‭‭-Proverbs‬ ‭4:25‬ ‭NCV‬‬

LEARN.

 

Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity… -Hebrews‬ ‭6:1‬ ‭NIV‬‬

So we must be more careful to follow what we were taught. Then we will not stray away from the truth. -Hebrews‬ ‭2:1‬ ‭NCV‬‬

There is much more we would like to say about this, but it is difficult to explain, especially since you are spiritually dull and don’t seem to listen. You have been believers so long now that you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things about God’s word. You are like babies who need milk and cannot eat solid food. For someone who lives on milk is still an infant and doesn’t know how to do what is right. Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong. -Hebrews‬ ‭5:11-14‬ ‭NLT‬‬

 

DO.

 

I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built. But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house right on the ground, without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it will collapse into a heap of ruins. -‭‭Luke‬ ‭6:47-49‬ ‭NLT‬‬ 

 

Jesus replied, “But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice. ‭‭-Luke‬ ‭11:28‬ ‭NLT‬‬

 

Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; in the morning he devours the prey, in the evening he divides the plunder. -Genesis‬ ‭49:27‬ ‭NIV‬‬
