John 8:8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
What did Jesus do after telling the people around Him their truths?
He waited…
Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do in our lives is to wait knowing God is working.
Don’t cut short God’s work but allow Him to complete the task with you!

Have you ever woken up and wondered what has happened over the last few months which changed you?
God has a habit of nudging each of us when we have got out of sorts in some way.
This is His way of saying “My Grace is Sufficient...”

2 Timothy 1:3 I thank God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers.
How often do you thank God for what He is doing in your life?
All too often we get complacent about just how much God does do and we neglect to thank Him daily!
Whenever you have a moment to spare, thank God!

Psalm 25:4 Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths.
How often do you stop to listen to instructions or stop and read the installation guide?

Psalm 119:161 Rulers persecute me without cause, but my heart trembles at your word.
How often do you object to what someone says about the bible or God?
How often do you object to what the government says?
It is right to stop and disagree when you find it difficult to accept what someone says – talk things through!

When people see you, do they see you or do they see Christ?
We need to be a reflection of Christ and not a refection of this world.
Don’t worry what people think of you, but what they think of Christ instead!

Psalm 130:4 But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you.
Imagine if we had someone who watched our every step in life and chose to punish us for every little thing we do against their way of living?
We do have someone who sees everything we do and even think…
But He loves us with a grace which allows us to live a free life – include Him as your guide for a better life!

Psalm 121:1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains - where does my help come from?
Have you ever written something on a rock or tree in the wild and tried to go back to it years later?
Our memories tend to fade over time especially when we are not being reminded of things all the time.
God does not need reminders because He is always with us, watching over us and loving us!

Galatians 2:4 This matter arose because some false believers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves.
One thing we come up against as Christians is other people thinking they can walk all over us because we are kind!
Jesus went out of His way to be kind and to love other people – He got a lot of abuse because of that!
People can be wicked. It does not mean we should stop being Christians!

1 King 18:22 Then Elijah said to them, “I am the only one of the Lord’s prophets left, but Baal has four hundred and fifty prophets.
Being confident in the Lord will show others how serious we are about Him!
Elijah was very confident God was on His side and went up against hundreds of false prophets without flinching!
Are you confident enough to sit and talk God through with someone?

1 King 18:43 “Go and look toward the sea,” he told his servant. And he went up and looked. “There is nothing there,” he said. Seven times Elijah said, “Go back.”
How many times do you pray for something? Once? Twice? Three times?
Elijah was trying to show Ahab how important faith is, not a faith which lasts an hour or two, but real faith.
Trusting in God means putting your trust in Him always!

Psalm 27:11 Teach me your way, Lord; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.
When was the last time you stopped to listen to what God wants from you?
When was the last time you did something you thought God wanted and it didn't work out?
We live in a world where we face opposition just because we are Christians – listen out for God’s guidance, always.

Psalm 16:4 Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more. I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods or take up their names on my lips.
When people know us as Christians, our lives become living examples of what they think Christians are to them…
If we go off the rails and support others gods and ways, then people will think we support them and their ways.
We need to stand firm in our beliefs with Christ as the head of our church!

Mark 4:33 With many similar parables Jesus spoke the word to them, as much as they could understand.
How do you show and tell people about Jesus? Do you live a life which reflects Christ?
Don’t try and get technical and try to prove Jesus is real through earthly means…
Allow Christ to show people He is real through your changed life. Lead by example!

Psalm 5:3 In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.
When you ask God things in prayer, do you wait expectantly, or just wish?
God wants us to ask things of Him with confidence, knowing He is listening and knowing He will answer!
God wants us to enjoy all He is willing to give us and wants us to know how much He cares for us...

1 King 21:27 When Ahab heard these words, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and fasted. He lay in sackcloth and went around meekly.
How do you react when you are told you are doing something wrong?
Most of us object and make a bigger scene about being told we are doing things wrong…
What would you do if Christ showed you all you are doing wrong?

Psalm 31:23 Love the Lord, all his faithful people! The Lord preserves those who are true to him, but the proud he pays back in full.
How much do you do so others will notice what you are doing?

Psalm 97:7 All who worship images are put to shame, those who boast in idols - worship him, all you gods!
When the apostles remind us every knee will bow, that includes the false gods and idols!
We should not be wasting our time running after things which don’t matter in the end…
Run after the one who we will all bow to alone!

Psalm 132:1 Lord, remember David and all his self-denial.
Sometimes we remember people for all the wrong things they have done instead of what they have not done!
God wants us to balance our lives and live them to give Him the glory…
Sometimes that means not doing something instead of following the crowd!
