Psalm 119:94 I am Yours, save me; for I have sought Your precepts.

It is the scriptures that bring us closer to God when we spend time listening to Him through them.

It is Christ who came to save us from our sin debt, but in doing so He pointed us back to the scriptures at every opportunity to make sure we know how important they are for us.

Seek God through what He has given to us already instead of trying to seek Him through some sort of experience.

Make it real by taking in what God has said.

Psalm 119:93 I will never forget Your precepts, for by them You have given me life.

It is amazing how the scriptures can do so much to change our lives even though they were written so many years ago.

We think that society changes so much over time and that we have to keep up with it in order to be understood, but God’s Word remains entirely relevant always!

Being able to remember what God has said to others allows us to grow closer with Him because we can compare others’ lives with our own.

Always keep God’s Word in your heart; it’s where it belongs!

Proverbs 3:1 My son, do not forget my law, but let your heart keep my commands;

When Christ came to be with Israel He made sure that people, through the disciples and His teaching, knew that His commands were important.

Just as God had revealed to man that following Him through our hearts is important, so Christ taught us that loving others and Him were important.

The law is there to open our eyes and our hearts. We need to keep our eyes and hearts focused on Christ so the Holy Spirit can work through us!

Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

When we profess to be Christians we must be willing to go out and show people that we are Christians.

That does not just mean that we must pitch up at church every weekend or at prayer sessions on time… it means living a life with Christ and being thankful to God for all that He allows us to do.

It is no small miracle that we are alive today and we owe it all to God. Being thankful and showing others we are thankful is quite normal!

So be normal & thank God!
