Psalm 107:1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures for ever.
One thing we can learn from reading our bibles is how much God has loved us from the very beginning.
We can see how much He has prepared for us and done for us by looking around us at the world we live in.
Don’t focus on what man has done, but what God has supplied for us to be able to accomplish so much!
Mark 10:19 You know the commandments: “You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honour your father and mother.”
I think many of us could quote a few rules we should not do; and many could say they have not broken those rules – when they stick to the exact wording of the rules...
Sometimes we like to bend the rules a little so we can get away with doing something we should not be doing!
God is watching us every step of the way. He continues to try to encourage us to do what is righteous in His sight.
God wants us to follow His rules, not our loose interpretation of them!
Mark 4:34 He did not say anything to them without using a parable. But when he was alone with his own disciples, he explained everything.
Do you find it hard to understand God’s Word at times?
Christ wants us to continue learning from Him and trusting in Him for everything.
He has given us the Holy Spirit to guide us and explain things to us; we simply have to trust and listen to Him for everything!
1 Samuel 17:28 When Eliab, David’s eldest brother, heard him speaking with the men, he burned with anger at him and asked, ‘Why have you come down here? And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know how conceited you are and how wicked your heart is; you came down only to watch the battle.’
How much opposition do you face when you stand up for God?
How many times have you given up because the opposition seems a bit much?
How many times have you looked back and wished you had stood up for God?
