Psalm 150:6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.
The words have been written down for many thousands of years…
Let everything and everyone praise the Lord!
We have been given the chance. Jesus has reminded us… We really do need to praise the Lord in everything we do and say!

Luke 19:42 and said, ‘If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace – but now it is hidden from your eyes.
Do you know what makes your friends cry in despair? Do you know what makes Jesus cry in despair?
When we turn our backs on the things which would bring peace to all, Jesus cries.
When we face the world and ignore His people, He cries.
Think about it!

Revelations 10:9 So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, ‘Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but “in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.”’
Sometimes in life we do something which seems so good and even right, but it turns out to be bad.
Many of the sins we get involved with are like that, they seem fine at the time, but as we get to realise what we have done, it all turns sour!
God wants us to be weary of what we do and try to compare it with what He has told us through His Word.

Psalm 144:6 Send forth lightning and scatter the enemy; shoot your arrows and rout them.
Why do we have to have physical manifestations of God’s power so we can believe in Him?
God wants us to love Him from our hearts and not through our eyes!
God’s love is all encompassing – we just have to learn how to love like Him!

Colossians 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
Who is Jesus to you?
Do you recognise Him as your Lord and Saviour?
Do you recognise Him as the King of Kings, Lord of Lords?
Do you know in your heart what He has done for you?
Do you give Him all the glory?

Psalm 24:10 Who is he, this King of glory? The Lord Almighty – he is the King of glory.
As we draw close to the end of the church year, what do you see when you look back over the year?
What do you see when you look forward?
Are you too worried about earthly matters or are you watching the King of Glory?

Psalm 96:1 Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.
When we say God should get all the glory, we should really mean He gets all the attention, honour and glory!
God wants us to think of new ways in which we can worship Him, not for greed, but so we can see how we can worship Him in every way in our lives!
Think of a new way in which you can give God the glory today!

Matthew 10:21 Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death.
When you try to live for and with God in your life, you are going to find many people will turn their backs on you or even dislike you just because you are a Christian!
God has continue to warn us about this all throughout the scriptures…
Why do we expect anything different!

Psalm 100:4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.
Do you find it difficult to enjoy something when you are feeling down or rejected?
If we are able to turn rejection and despair around and apply faith and thanksgiving instead, our lives will get better!
Giving thanks and praising God can be difficult when you are down, but it always leads to joy!

Psalm 51:19 Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous, in burnt offerings offered whole; then bulls will be offered on your altar.
We don’t go about offering bulls on the altar nowadays – can you imagine the uproar if anyone tried to do that!
But we do need to answer “what are you willing to sacrifice for Jesus?”
Metaphorically we should be willing to offer the biggest and best we have for God – no holding back!

Psalm 95:1 Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
When was the last time you worshipped God in song? I love to listen to worshipful songs which I sing in my heart.
Remembering what Jesus has done for us and what He means to us is important.
There are many good and righteous worship songs when you go looking for them!

Matthew 24:36 But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
When was the last time someone surprised you? How did you handle it?
Now, imagine someone is going to turn up and give you a house… would you be ready and waiting?
Christ has said He is preparing us our places in Heaven and is going to return to give us those places… are you ready?

Isaiah 4:6 It will be a shelter and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding-place from the storm and rain.
When we look back and see what happened in the desert, we see a physical manifestation of Gods presence in the form of the cloud of smoke and the column of fire.
We have all this proof in our history, recorded for all to remember and stand in awe of…
… why do we keep on asking for more proof?

Luke 10:21 At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, ‘I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.
This is a passage which should prove to us Jesus was entirely man as well as being God!
He showed us what it is like to follow and obey God the Father.
Our aim should be to emulate Jesus in whatever way we can!

Matthew 4:19 ‘Come, follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will send you out to fish for people.’
Do you know what to do after you have caught a fish? Do you know how to gut them and prepare them for cooking and/or eating?
Jesus has asked us to throw out the line and try to bring a fish back to shore – or rather a person…
He will prepare and clean us ready to join the Father in Heaven!

Matthew 7:24 Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
As we start on the road toward Christmas, think about how you are leading your life…
Are you trusting Christ with your livelihood? Are you listening to His instructions?
The wise person will do both and entrust it all to God.

Psalm 27:13 I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
What do you expect of Jesus when you pray?
God wants us to ask anything of Him and Jesus reminded us we have to continue knocking on the door of prayer!
How confident are you Jesus hears your prayers and will answer them here in the land of the living?

Isaiah 30:20 Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them.
Have you ever noticed how easy it is to lose track of who the good teachers of the gospel are?
When you take your eyes off the Lord and fix them on the world, you lose sight of God’s teachers…
When you turn back to God, those teachers will come straight back into view!

Psalm 85:11 Faithfulness springs forth from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.
Jesus came down to earth in human form but did not live like us; He lived a holy life to show us hope through Him to Heaven.
This hope springs up from earth because this is where Jesus came to give us that hope.
He has shown us the direction and has demonstrated it can be done – even if we face tribulations here on earth!
