Psalm 91:14 ‘Because he loves me,’ says the Lord, ‘I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.’
God has tried to show us through the scriptures and the prophets how much He cares for us.
We need to show Him how much we care for Him by obeying the Word of God!
Are you willing to acknowledge Christ as being the Son of God and the Bible as the Word of God?

Psalm 17:1 Hear me, Lord, my plea is just; listen to my cry. Hear my prayer – it does not rise from deceitful lips.
How do you pray? How do you talk to God? How do you talk to others?
If we are honest we have all told lies or bent the truth when we talk with others… Are you doing the same with God?
God wants us to be humble and honest because He already knows the truth!

Job 3:11 Why did I not perish at birth, and die as I came from the womb?
I wonder if you have ever asked yourself something like this… If you have ever been through dire times in your life, then maybe you have entertained questions like this…
What I have learned over the years is that God will make possible a way through which you can serve Him, through which you can make a difference!
We need to trust Christ, ask honestly in prayer and listen earnestly for answers to those prayers.

Psalm 88:1 Lord, you are the God who saves me; day and night I cry out to you.
Do you pay the proper respect to you God and Saviour?
God wants us to be in a relationship with Him by talking to Him all the time – He does not want us to treat Him like a president whom we never get to talk to because of security!
Why not stop what you are doing and talk to God now – let Him know what is on your heart, be honest!

Revelation 12:9 The great dragon was hurled down – that ancient snake called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
One thing we must never be complacent of is the power of the devil.
He thought he was powerful enough to gather up some angels and fight against God!
But not matter what happened – God prevailed and will always prevail of all evil!

Job 40:2 ‘Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who accuses God answer him!’
Have you noticed help stops coming when we rise up against the help or mistreat those trying to help us?
If we want to have God’s help constantly in our lives, then we should be willing to trust God and invite Him into every aspect of our lives.
God wants to help, but help often means we need to start the ball rolling by asking first!

Psalm 119:173 May your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen your precepts.
When I first read this verse, my reaction was one of disappointment!
Why, you ask… I had just read another part of the Bible where The Lord was warning disciples about not rejoicing because spirits submitted to them, but rather to give God the glory by rejoicing their names were written in Heaven instead!
Don’t get carried away with your supposed success – it is God’s success!

2 Timothy 1:1-14 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
When Jesus said He would send the Holy Spirit to be our companion, He did not say it to tell us He is sending a policeman to watch our every step…
He said it to show us what He is giving us is more powerful than anything we have – the power to change things!
The disciples saw the power of the spirit when they went out to spread the gospel – draw on that power and live with it!

Psalm 111:2 Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them.
Those people who know God, know how great He is and can delight in what He does for us…
But, unless a person gets to know God, how will they know about Him or be able to delight in Him?
We need to actively go out and invite people in to learn more about Christ...

Galatians 1:22 I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
Do you try to get noticed in church? Do you make sure people get to know you?
Just who are you promoting when you go to your church?
Christ warns us to submit as servants for a reason. We don’t need to be the best known person in our church – we just need to show people the way to Christ!

Acts 20:10 Paul went down, threw himself on the young man and put his arms round him. ‘Don’t be alarmed,’ he said. ‘He’s alive!’
What do you think faith looks like? Faith looks like stepping forward and doing something trusting Christ will answer your prayers!
We don’t have to have 100% faith, but we do have to believe Christ is capable of answering prayers and He will do so when asked – this is what He promised us!
Exercise your faith by showing others you trust in Christ to answer your prayers...

Psalm 62:5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him.
How often do you get tongue-tied when trying to talk about God?
God is the one who can give us peace and rest – He is also the one who can show us what to say and do!
Tell yourself today to trust in Him and listen out for instructions!

Psalm 111:4 He has caused his wonders to be remembered; the Lord is gracious and compassionate.
One of the amazing things about God’s Word is how it is remembered by so many and retold by so many.
Over thousands of years the scriptures have been remembered and retold so we can all get to know the truth.
This is because God has compassion for us and is gracious to show us the way!

Galatians 3:22 But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
The Word of God shows us the righteousness in our lives and also the sin.
Because of God’s Word we know our sins are real.
Because of Jesus Christ we know our sins are forgiven!

Luke 17:16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him – and he was a Samaritan.
Have you ever had someone who is not a church goer put you to shame by doing something righteous when you have overlooked the issue?
We all have our moments when we get into trouble because we are scared of what is happening or because we are scared to take action.
God will give us the strength and resolve to do things when we trust Him and His guidance!

Psalm 113:6 who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth?
Have you ever thought of God as being a God who looks after the righteous and ignores the sinners?
Have you ever realised you are a sinner and God still seems to look out for you?
God is the one who reached down to offer us a helping hand even though we did not deserve it!

Psalm 119:44 I will always obey your law, for ever and ever.
When we say we are going to obey God’s laws, we need to do what we say we are going to do.
By saying we will and never getting round to doing it, we are lying to God as well as to ourselves and others.
Following God’s law goes a whole lot further than just doing what is righteous – think before you promise God!

Luke 11:46 Jesus replied, ‘And you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them.
One thing God does not call us to do is to place burdens on people’s shoulders by reminding them they are sinning all the time.
God wants us to shed light into people’s lives and allow Him to show them the sin instead.
It is our task as disciples to spread the gospel message and shed the light, inviting people in to learn more about Him together.

Psalm 98:4 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music;
One of the things we do not do enough is to acknowledge God in our lives!
Worship songs, singing, music and poetry are a few of the ways in which we can give God the glory.
If you are like me and can’t sing too well, can’t play music and can’t write poems, then we can simply talk to Him more.
Let God know how you feel!

Psalm 33:4 For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.
How is it that the Word of God continues to be one of the top selling books, if not the top selling book…
God wants us all to be able to get to know Him through His Word and the more mankind looks into it, the more we believe it to be the truth.
God has made sure it is available to anyone who wants it… men stop this from happening where they can because of things like pride and greed!
