1 Corinthians 15:42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable;
Every living being on earth is different. We are different to animals. We are different to fish and birds.
And then, when we die in our physical bodies, we are raised up in our spiritual bodies – very different again!
Our physical bodies all have a limited lifespan no matter what we are: fish, bird, animal or mammal; but our spiritual bodies are eternal!

Jeremiah 8:21 Since my people are crushed, I am crushed; I mourn, and horror grips me.
Do you have compassion for all the people around you or do you pick and choose who you have compassion for?
God wants us to have compassion fro all His people – and that includes people we may look at as being our enemies at times!
If we are not crushed when the people around us feel crushed, then do we actually have compassion for them?

1 Timothy 6:7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.
Today we witness a state funeral in the United Kingdom which will probably be beyond our dreams; we say our final goodbye to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Though one of the richest people in the world in terms of earthly wealth, she remains one of the richest people in terms of Heavenly wealth because of her faith in Christ.
Queen Elizabeth leaves behind riches some can only dream of, but gains heavenly riches none of us can dream of!

Luke 8:21 He replied, ‘My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.’
Often we hear that small quiet voice telling us to do something but ignore it because it’s not fun or profitable in our eyes!
God tries to speak to us all the time through the Holy Spirit, which means we should listen to that small voice!
Once we start listening to Him, we can obey Him and do God’s will in our lives!

Psalm 119:66 Teach me knowledge and good judgment, for I trust your commands.
The more we are willing to learn God’s ways, the more ways we will find of being able to worship Him.
Worship is not just singing songs in a church building on Sundays; worship is acknowledging God in any way you can!
Give God the glory for the things you are able to do and allow others to join you and enjoy it too!

Psalm 90:1 Lord, you have been our dwelling-place throughout all generations.
What has been the one constant all throughout the age of the earth? Time!
What has been constant before time and what will be constant after time? God!
Are you aiming at the limited constant of time, or the eternal constant of God?

Psalm 144:3 Lord, what are human beings that you care for them, mere mortals that you think of them?
No matter how small and insignificant you think you are, God knows you and is looking out for you!
You are important to God and He wants you to have the best you can get.
Stop fussing about what you can and cannot control land allow God to do what is best for you!

Ecclesiastes 11:9 You who are young, be happy while you are young, and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth. Follow the ways of your heart and whatever your eyes see, but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.
God has always tried to teach people to make their own judgments and choices, but the warning has always been there – we have to answer for our judgments and choices!
We have the Holy Spirit to guide us so we can make informed choices and judgments – invite Him in to live with you so your choices will be better, always!

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...
