Deuteronomy 8:2 Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands.

When you are going through things which you do not expect in your life – stop and think about what you can get out of it?

Our gut reaction is normally to object, complain and cause some sort of chaos when things go wrong…

Why would God allow something like this in your life unless He knew it was, in some way, going to improve you?

Allow God to work fully and freely in your life and praise Him every step of the way!

Psalm 17:3 Though you probe my heart, though you examine me at night and test me, you will find that I have planned no evil; my mouth has not transgressed.

God is the only one who searches our hearts and all we do, say, think and expect; but He does it because of His love for us and not because He is like a policeman waiting for us to do something wrong!

When everything is quiet at night and you are alone with God, what is going through your head and your heart?

When you are out and about with friends, what is going through your mind and in your heart?

When you get angry because things do not go your way, what comes out of your mouth?

Make sure God is in everything you do – don’t leave Him behind in anything!

Proverbs 24:12 If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?

God knows the situation we are in and the lives we lead. He knows if we do have an excuse for not knowing about Him or whether we have chosen to ignore the truth and pretend we don’t know things.

We may be able to get away with things in our lives because we tell people we did not know the truth, but God actually does know if we are telling lies.

Yes, it is a lie to pretend to not know something when you do know it!

Psalm 82:4 Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

We are the ones who are here at this time and we are the ones who see the injustice which is going on – unless we help the weak and needy, we are not helping God’s people!

It is not up to the lawyers who sit in the courts presiding over the cases they do- they can only do their part for the cases they see. We live out with the people and it is up to us to make the difference.

“Be the change” means more than just sorting out the physical things in life – it means helping those who are in need to make a difference in their lives!
