Malachi 3:16 Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, And the Lord listened and heard them; So a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the Lord And who meditate on His name.

It is very easy to get despondent about the world and all the things going wrong around us; but that is not what God calls us to do.

God wants us to see the good, the righteous and holy things in the world; He then wants us to talk to each other about these things – this way we can encourage each other toward

God and all He does rather than falling into despair about the world around us.

Live with hope! Live with God!

Isaiah 50:10 "Who among you fears the Lord? Who obeys the voice of His Servant? Who walks in darkness And has no light? Let him trust in the name of the Lord And rely upon his God.

I timely reminder for us all who believe in Christ. The longer we live in this world the more we have to walk in dark places and see all manner of things going wrong around us.

It is not our fault the rest of the world is going to pot; each person has to stand up for the things they do wrong and has to answer to God alone.

Trusting in God now and living a life with Him is what He wants for us; that way He can help us to do the right thing more often than giving in to the temptations of the world!

Micah 7:8 Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light.

When is the one time when your enemy will come out and confront you without fear? When you are down or caught in a trap – then they come forward and mock you.

People came forward and mocked Jesus as He went to the cross because they could see Him in a position where He was caught up.

But just as God promised to be there for the tribe of Israel, so too is Christ saying he will be there for us.

Turn to you enemy and tell them you have a powerful God who is protecting you and will guide you out of your affliction. Praise Him for what He is about to do!

Psalm 112:4 Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.

Many of us will face dark times, hard times and afflictions which will cause us to wonder where God and His light are.

But even in our darkest times we can still receive God’s light, guidance, power and strength; we just have to look and see where it is shining!

It is actually shining on you – but if your eyes are closed, you may well not see anything!

The Lord is merciful, bountiful, compassionate and righteous; trusting in Him and His ways should be easy…
