1 Corinthians 10:1 For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea.

How often do you go back through your bible and think about the stories we can read? How often do you wonder at the awesomeness of God through what you hear?

Every day new stories are being made because of the things God does in our lives and the way He looks out for us.

Don’t wait for something special to have to happen to you before you believe – trust the stories we have written down in our bibles about a God who cares!

Hebrews 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us

All around us are people. People who are watching and waiting to see what we do. No, they are not all stalking us, but they do watch to see what Christians get up to.

We are examples working out our lives in front of a vast audience to try and show people a way to Christ. If we don’t make a good example of things, they will not be able to see a way forward to Christ.

Give your burdens to Christ so you can focus on the way ahead for Him and with Him instead of trying to make life work for you. Christ is here to help!

Genesis 4:15 But the Lord said to him, “Not so; anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over.” Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him.

Many of us think we are too far gone or have done too many bad things to be used by God. Quite the opposite is true!

God is going to use whoever He pleases to make sure His word is spread. Take Cain for example. He murdered his brother through jealousy over their offerings; but God still wanted to do things with him.

God protected Cain and made sure people knew the consequences of what happens when they work against Him – but God gave him time to repent…

Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead.

Lessons need to be learned from history; why should mankind have to go through the same thing over and over again?

God has given us enough of our history to learn from other people’s mistakes so we can hopefully get it right – and yet we still choose to forget history.

I know some history teachers are utterly boring, but it is the subject we should focus on and not the teacher. Read God’s word and see what the original author wanted you to learn…
