1 John 2:3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.

If we are struggling to keep God’s Commandments then we may well be focusing on other things in our lives; not it is not a cut and dry comparison.

The evil one will try to use everything in our lives to make us lose concentration and drift away from God. God wants us to think about Him always.

When we are thinking about God we will be more prone to follow what He has taught us rather than the world and all its trimmings.

Keep God in your heart and obey Him for a better life!

Psalm 119:102 I have not departed from Your judgments, for You Yourself have taught me.

It is a brave person who will say that they have not broken God’s Laws! We all have and we all will probably do so again in our lives.

But that should not stop us from drawing closer to God or from asking Him for forgiveness.

It is Christ who demonstrated just how willing he is to forgive us by giving His life for us.

Let us try harder to keep within God’s rules.

Psalm 71:17 O God, You have taught me from my youth; and to this day I declare Your wondrous works.

When you hear good things about God, do you rush out to tell others?

When you get to know something new about God, do you rush out and tell anyone?

When you find a new snippet of truth about God, do you share it?

God would love it if we all shared the things that he does in our lives because that would help to encourage others. Be honest and open about what God does in your life.

1 Samuel 2:2 “No one is holy like the Lord, for there is none besides You, nor is there any rock like our God.

When Hannah had her prayers answered by God she had no problem with exalting Him; and she did not forget her vow to God either.

How many times do we ask for something and then when we get it run off and be so happy that we forget to thank the one who made it all possible?

I know that I do still forget to thank God for things, but I am getting better in making sure that I thank Him first of all for my life and all He gives me.

I love God and know that He cares for me. That gives me more reason to thank Him daily.
