2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

Sometimes it is the problems we have in our lives which open up the vulnerabilities to allow God to work through us!

God knows we have problems and issues which will prevent us from doing everything correctly all the time – but he still asks us to step forward and try!

Trust a bit more in God’s abilities and His guidance to get things done right!

Psalm 123:1 I lift up my eyes to you, to you who sit enthroned in heaven.

Where do you seek inspiration and guidance from? From books, from living life, from nature, from religion?

We need to look to the author of love, our Creator God – and He is not sitting here on earth in a big temple or on a cross!

God is in Heaven – separated from this world where sin cannot touch Him.

We need to seek Him where He is and not where we want Him to be!

2 Samuel 8:15 David reigned over all Israel, doing what was just and right for all his people.

What do you think God is asking you to do? Do you try things out to see if they are good for God... or you?

God wants us to be like David and to be just and righteous with all people around us, especially those under our charge!

God asks us to be fair and just with everyone – not just the people we like or friends and family only... everyone!

1 Thessalonians 2:5 You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed – God is our witness.

How do you tell people about God? Do you tell of love, joy and peace? Do you tell of fire and brimstone?

God wants us to tell people the truth, without sugar-coating it and without expanding on God’s Word to cover over our own failings.

Allow God to be the witness to people by simply telling people the truth as it comes from God’s Word!
