In creating a new password recently, I realized I utilize "Password Preaching." Wondering if anyone else does, too?? How many passwords do you create or use per week? Every time is an opportunity to preach to yourself in an area where you need encouragement from God's word. Need to change a password? Try: "Cast your care upon Him, for he careth for you," "I am not my own, for I am bought with a price" (with the blood of Jesus), "I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." "Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world." "Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." "He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ." "Love suffers long and is kind." "Abide in Christ. Without Him I can do nothing." "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you." "If I do anything without love, I am nothing." "The wise man builds his house upon the rock." "Man does not live by bread alone, but by every Word that comes from the mouth of God." "Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain who build it." "Don't be afraid, only believe." "Without faith, it is impossible to please God." "If I live to please man, I am no longer a servant of Christ, but a servant of man." Make "o" into zero, "i" into the number 1, "s" into a "5", etc. If you need fewer letters/numbers, abbreviate the verse to one or two key words.
I started password preaching to myself in 1996 with my first email account password. At that time of my life it was really hard to face each day with thanksgiving, so I used the word "Rejoice!" (in another language) to remind myself that God commands me to "Give thanks in all things," "to rejoice evermore," "to count it all joy I fall into various trials, because the trying of my faith produces patience and patience produces long-suffering, and long-suffering produces character, and character (or steadfastness, in some versions) when it has it's full effect makes me perfect and entire, lacking nothing." Password Preaching- Just one more way to get the correction, rebuke, and instruction in righteousness of the Word of God into our everday lives. Try it. It helps this forgetful creature and may help you, too!
