Numbers 21:9 So Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.

I love the fact that God used a sign of the evil to take away that evil from the Israelite camp.

God wanted people to realise they would be healed just by listening to Him and obeying His command; and not through any physical thing they could do.

A bronze snake can do nothing! It cannot even do harm like a real snake. Yet that is what God chose for the people to look up to.

God wants us to listen to Him and not worry about all the things in this world around us because He is bigger than big!

Isaiah 45:22 Look to Me, and be saved, All you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.

We need to look to God in faith and in prayer; don’t try and seek Him through various other things or through causes because our relationship is through Christ and nothing else.

We must not look at the people who make the most noise or the best noises but look to God.

The Holy Spirit will guide us in our walk with Him, so trusting in Him rather than in other people who talk the talk.

Walk the walk and trust Christ to save you.

John 3:17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

Let us never forget why God came into the world as a human being!

We may not be able to forgive as quickly or totally as God can because we carry all sorts of baggage with us all the time, but Christ has and does forgive totally.

Christ came to make sure we can join Him in heaven and has opened the door for everybody to join Him; everyone who will trust in Him.

Christ has paid it all, and He paid it with love. Go out and serve Him with love.

John 12:47 And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

There are times when I struggle to think of the right words to say to others when they have no idea who Christ is.

We can talk about a man going to the cross and being crucified and those words may not convince anybody. We could talk about the miracles and that may confuse others instead of bringing light into their lives.

We do not know how other people think and all we can do is to try and tell them what we know and how we see it. God will work in their hearts to bring the understanding and love.

Let God do what He is best at because He understands how others think; we just guess…
