2 Samuel 9:7 “Don’t be afraid,” David said to him, “for I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.”

We often look at David as being a great king who always followed God; truth be told, he had many issues just like the rest of us…

But here we see him putting right something the rest of the country had tried to sweep under the carpet.

We need to stand apart from this world and do what is right – because God says so, not because the country says otherwise.

Listen to your God and obey your God!

Job 29:15 I was eyes to the blind and feet to the lame.

The book of Job is thought to have been the very earliest writing included in the bible, and yet the things it contains are covered throughout the Old and New Testaments.

Right from the early laws to look after the people around you to Jesus’ teaching to love your neighbour; God’s love is echoed everywhere.

Job was a man after God’s heart and lived the life God wished of him: It is not God who will take it all away because He loves us more than we know!

Trust God. Believe God. Listen to God. Love God and love His people!

Leviticus 19:14 Do not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block in front of the blind, but fear your God. I am the Lord.

If you automatically think of the New Testament when you talk about stumbling blocks, it is nothing new…

Right from the beginning God has warned us not to place stumbling blocks in front of those people who cannot yet see the truth.

Behave and allow yourself to be seen as a person who makes a difference, not a person who make chaos.

Don’t stop other people reaching their full potential with God!

Leviticus 10:9 You and your sons are not to drink wine or other fermented drink whenever you go into the tent of meeting, or you will die. This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come

I wonder if you have ever been told that Christians should not drink alcohol…

If we drink anything alcoholic, it will affect our senses and dull our brains. Here, the priests and church leaders were warned not to drink before going into church meetings!

Alcohol has been around for a very long time and has been enjoyed responsibly by many people for many centuries… it is the few who drink in excess who spoil it for everyone.

Be sensible and keep a clear head so you can listen to and obey God.
