Psalm 139:5 You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.

If we are willing to listen and obey, the Lord can get to work easily and make sure we have a hedge of protection build up around us and we have the ultimate care right now.

If we are not willing, then He has to spend all His time chasing after us and trying to get us back on track.

The more we do things our own way, the more we make God work harder and the less time we have to enjoy what God can do for us.

Malachi 3:16 Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honoured his name.

How often do you talk to others about your God? How often do you recognise Him for who He is?

I think we all do take God for granted at some stage in our lives; so we need reminders about just who He is every now and again.

The more we talk about God to each other the more we will encourage each other and the greater the bond will be between us and Him.

God remembers all we do and will recall all we have done when we face Him in the end...

Proverbs 14:26 Whoever fears the Lord has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge.

As a parent myself I always have the thought of my children's safety going through my mind even though they are grown ups themselves nowadays.

Having a fortress you can withdraw to in order to be protected from adversities is always a good thing.

God is our fortress and He will keep us safe; what better option to have than the most secure fortress in the world!

Psalms 3:5 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.

A post my niece posted on social media yesterday made me think and when I saw this verse this morning it all came together.

Take one day at a time and try to make the most of what you have. This is the day God has given you and the day He wants you to have.

You cannot achieve everything all in one day – take your time to do it right and allow others to see you have God on your side!
