Examine, Evaluate, and Adjust if Necessary

Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us. (‭Titus‬ ‭2‬:‭6-8‬ NIV)

I realize gender is used in this passage of scripture, but it a great passage of scripture for every believer. 

We should be an example, especially in our current world, political environment, and the lack of moral conscience surrounding us. 

We should be showing integrity in all of these areas. If we don’t point them to Jesus with our life actions then our words will not matter. 

What can your enemy say about you that is valid?  What can the world say about you that is valid. Live your life in such a way that they are embarrassed because everything they would accuse you of is a lie!

Evaluation Time

Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, To sit up late, To eat the bread of sorrows; For so He gives His beloved sleep. (‭Psalms‬ ‭127‬:‭1-2‬ NKJV)
A simple reminder of how much we need Him!  We are completely wasting our time if we are trying to accomplish out tasks on our own.

1. Evaluate if the plan is from Him

2. Evaluate if the plan is for Him

3. Evaluate if you have involved Him in the plan

Check Yes or No-if yes is checked you are good to go. If no is checked reevaluate!
