Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free

When Jesus got the scroll of the prophet Isaiah handed to Him in the temple, He turned to these words and read them out loud (Isaiah 61)

Jesus came to freely hand out the gospel to anyone who was willing to listen, something He has asked of us too.

We cannot help everyone, the poor, the prisoners, the blind, and the slaves... but we can give them the gospel which will allow them to be set free, just as we are free in God.

Matthew 6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

One thing I have learned to do is to try and focus on God rather than on the world...

When we focus on the world, we see all the horrors and evil which surround us – this can be very unsettling and worrying for us.

When we focus on God, we are able to see the world in a new light and work things out with a comfort we will never get from any earthly things.

Allow God to help you every day to put up with the extraordinary!

1 John 5:9 We accept human testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son.

We tend to believe what we hear on the news – but sometimes what we hear is not the truth, yet we still tend to believe it when we hear it!

When we find out it is not the truth, we get disheartened and turn away from supporting those people who told us the lies.

God never lies, always tells us the truth and we need to depend on that truth more in our lives – so we will never be disappointed again!

Galatians 4:8 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.

Do you ever think how much you do just because other people do things, or just because it’s there!

We are constrained by so many things in this world and we live by those constraints all the time.

Now is the time to let go of those constraints and live for God, because we now know Him and we can love Him openly!
