Staying Present in the PresencePart 9
Colossians 3:12-14 (MSG)12 So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. 13 Be even-tempered, content with
second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the
Master forgave you. 14 And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It's your basic, all-
purpose garment. Never be without it.
Matthew 5:5 (NIV)5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the
earth.
1 Kings 19:11-13 (NIV)11 The LORD said, "Go out and stand on the
mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by." Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD,
but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the
LORD was not in the earthquake.
1 Kings 19:11-13 (NIV)12 After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire
came a gentle whisper. 13 When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then
a voice said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"
1. How you treat people.
Romans 12:9-10 (MSG)9 Love from the center of who you are; don't fake it. Run for dear life from evil; hold on for dear life to good. 10 Be good friends who love
deeply; practice playing second fiddle.
2. How you handle what you know.
Colossians 3:12-14 (NIV)12 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and
dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and
forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord
forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in
perfect unity.
3. How you look at the world.
1 Timothy 6:10-12 (NIV)10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of
evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced
themselves with many griefs. 11 But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love,
endurance and gentleness.
1 Timothy 6:10-12 (NIV)12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of
the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the
presence of many witnesses.
1 Peter 3:15 (NIV)15 But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord.
Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with
gentleness and respect,
