Luke 21:14 But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves.
If God is going to put you in a difficult position, I is to do something for Him…
But, no matter where He puts you, He is going to look out for you and make sure you succeed!
Faith is a giant leap, but it is a sure thing because God knows you better than anything!

Isaiah 52:7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, ‘Your God reigns!’
Isaiah knew there needed to be more people who would go out and tell others about God so they will be able to know Him.
God has given each of us a task to tell someone about God and let them know He is real.
Start with something simple like behaving differently to those around you...

Luke 21:33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
One of the things we will always argue about is when Christ will return, or if in the case of a non-believer…
Jesus told us He did not even know while He was amongst us on earth – so how could we know!
Ours is to hope in faith He will return and allow us to be with Him – simple!

Psalm 145:4 One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts.
As long as we are able to tell stories, we will be able to tell others about Christ.

Why not learn a few stories from the bible and share they with others...

Psalm 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May those who love you be secure.
As we see the fighting continue between Israel and Palestine we cannot hope but pray for peace.
It is the lust, pride and greed of mankind which continues to lead these kind of wars.
Let us pray all people on both sides will see the futility of the wars they are fighting and see the destruction of people instead!

Matthew 15:35 He told the crowd to sit down on the ground.
Sometimes when Jesus wants to give something to you, He expects you to be thankful and humble.
These people had followed Jesus for 3 days and many had run out of food.

Psalm 118:25 Lord, save us! Lord, grant us success!
When things are bad and you call out to God, do you call out for personal profit?
It is right to call out to God for help and our lives, but when He does help us, what do we do with it?
God wants us to love others so when we do have success we can share it with those around us.

Psalm 27:11 Teach me your way, Lord; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.
One of the things we ask for in our relationship with God is to hear more from Him…
But when we ask, how often do we really stop, wait and listen for an answer?
We can only hope to get answers from Him if we are willing to stop and wait and listen...

Isaiah 30:21 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’
God wants us to know He will be with us every step we take in life.

The onus is on us to not just ask for directions, but listen for the answers through the Spirit.

2 Peter 3:8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: with the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
One thing we get caught up in is time here on earth… everything revolves around time!
God is not constrained by time as we see it because He has full control of everything everywhere always.
Don’t put time limits on things you ask from God because His timing is always perfect!

Why not start now?

Have you noticed how others can be happy when you are happy, or sad when you are sad?

God blesses those who praise Him and bless others – because He cares!

Psalm 103:11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
I don’t know if you have ever been able to fly very high in an aeroplane, but the higher you get the more magical it seems.
As a young lad I can remember our Dad flying us in a small plane to over 9000 feet above the ground. Everything was totally different and inspiring.
When we see things from a new perspective we begin to see things differently; maybe one day we will understand more about God’s love for us!

One of the luck people who did not have to die before being taken up to Heaven was Elijah!
Elisha was walking with him when a chariot of fire separated them and too Elijah heavenward…
