“People who despise advice are asking for trouble; those who respect a command will succeed” (Proverbs 13:13, NLT).
Being hardheaded and stubborn is a trait of emotional immaturity, and holds us back in life. By comparison, being flexible enough to accept instruction and direction helps us learn and grow, and gives us success; this is a spiritual law.

“Praise the Lord! Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever” (Psalm 106:1, NLT).
When we take a moment to remember all the good God has done in our lives, it’s hard not to be thankful. A grateful attitude helps us deal with life’s ups and downs.

“For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better” (Philippians 1:21, NLT).
Believers don’t have to fear death, because it allows us to slip out of the stream of time and go home to be with the Lord. A relationship with God lets us put on our spiritual body when we get to heaven.

“The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death… So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?... But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 15:26, 54, 55, 57).
The Bible portrays death as an enemy. However, Jesus forever conquered that enemy when He rose from the grave and ascended into heaven.

“For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive” (1 Corinthians 15:22, NKJV).
The world still lives under the sin brought onto mankind. Thankfully, faith in Christ and in His resurrection brings us out from sin and gives us eternal life.

“These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep” (John 11:11).
Although we’ll all die physically one day, physical death isn’t the end. We’re spirits living in physical bodies, which are our temporary houses; when we leave this earth, we’ll transition to eternal life with Jesus Christ.
July 16
“Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep” (Romans 12:15, NLT).
Believers have been given authority over their emotions, but that doesn’t mean not to feel anything. Just like Jesus, we can wholeheartedly join in others’ joyful celebrations and mourn with those who mourn the passing of a loved one.
July 15
“And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died” (1 Thessalonians 4:13, 14, NLT).
It’s always painful when a loved one dies, but unlike the world, born-again believers have hope beyond the pain. Jesus was resurrected from the dead for eternal life in heaven; therefore, we have the same thing to look forward to.

“I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth” (Revelation 3:15, 16).
For the results we want in life, we can’t be lukewarm, mixing old, law-based thinking with a new, grace-based mindset. Many churches still do this, but it displeases God.
