Psalm 34:4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
When was the last time you asked God to do something because you were scared to do it?
Has He ever asked you to do something which you have turned down because you thought you were not suited for it?
God knows what is best for us. He knows what we are best at. He knew this before we were born. That is why we should listen to Him!
Ezekiel 15:2 Son of man, how is the wood of a vine different from that of a branch from any of the trees in the forest?
The wood from a vine has fibres which bend and twist. They need to so the vine can cling to places and grow as required. You cannot use it to make things like furniture...
Wood from forest trees is very stiff and can be used to build sturdy structures and is good for things like furniture.
Each of us is different and can best be used in different ways by God. Look and listen...
Psalm 92:2 proclaiming your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night
How do you show your love for Christ? Do you sing, dance, pray, do works, talk to people...
I hope you will take a bit of each of these and more to show your love for God today. Singing praises to Him is important, but so are all the other things we can do!
God wants us to be joyful and loving in our relationship with Him, encouraging others to join in all the time!
Psalm 112:7 They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
One thing I found out in hospital was how to trust the Lord at all times.
We may go through tough times living here amongst the rest of the world, but God is standing by our sides and helping us when we ask.
Trusting more in God mean not having to fear bad news when we know it is inevitable. Trusting more in God gives us hope when the rest of the world sees none!
