Isaiah 1:13 Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to me. New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations – I cannot bear your worthless assemblies.

When we say we are doing things for God we may be able to fool people, but we can never fool God!

God looks into our hearts when we say we do things with or for Him; and if our hearts are not in the works, then there may as well be no works from us!

God does not want us to be the biggest and best – He just wants us to do our best for Him...

Psalm 97:9 For you, Lord, are the Most High over all the earth; you are exalted far above all gods.

We can see how many people around the world believe in their gods, some calling on statues of their gods to do their bidding, while others call on effects which they say are from their gods.

We call out to our God who is creator of this all. All people, angels and everything else all lift up the One True God who is in Heaven.

We should not fall short and create our own gods but worship the One True God in honestly!

Psalm 137:4 How can we sing the songs of the Lord while in a foreign land?

When you go somewhere foreign, how do you cope with living your life?

It is hard to try and live your own life when in amongst foreigners because everything they do is probably different to what you would normally do!

If we focus on Christ when amongst strangers, we can live a good life even when we are away from everything we think normal!

Psalm 51:14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, you who are God my Saviour, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.

When I think about the traumatic things we go through when we see how we have done something very wrong, this doesn’t even come close to what Jesus had to endure!

These words by the author of this psalm were heartfelt because he knew he had done very bad things.

Admitting things to God and allowing Him to forgive you is the only way of getting over trauma!
