Live As God Intended
Just thinking about a devotional I ran across the other day. It included some wonderful reminders and I felt compelled to share them with you. Here are ten scriptural principles to help you live as God intended.
- Guard your tongue. Always say less than you think and others will respect you.
- Make promises sparingly, keep them faithfully and people will trust you.
- Never let an opportunity pass to say a kind word, and someday you will look back with joy and not regret.
- Be genuinely interested in others; show it by listening attentively and expressing your appreciation.
- Be cheerful. Don’t dwell on your aches and pains; everybody has trouble. There are people in hospitals who’d gladly trade places with you.
- Keep an open mind and try to get all the facts. Discuss, but don’t argue. Learn to disagree without being disagreeable. Give other people the benefit of the doubt.
- Discourage gossip, it’s destructive.
- Be sensitive to the feeling of others. If you do, people will consider you to be wise.
- Pay no attention to ill-natured remarks about you. Live so that nobody will believe them.
- Don’t worry about getting the credit, just keep giving your best and be patient. God records and God rewards!

Sharon, this is so timely for me. I left mass yesterday morning with my goal to keep to at the center of my life — instead of all the other things that I make a priority. Your 10 reminders couldn’t have come at a better time for me. Blessing to you.
Hey Claire! Thanks for stopping by. Funny you should mention the timeliness of these reminders, because when I read them, I felt the same way! Look forward to talking with you soon! Take care.
Good advice. I especially appreciate #9.
Hey Delaney! Glad you could appreciate #9. I think #1 was for me. 🙂 Just because I think it, doesn’t mean it has to be said. …still working on mastering that one. 🙂 Take care and thanks for stopping by!
