Isaiah 43:18 Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.

How often do you look forward to good times when you are upset about something? How often can you smile when you are sad?

God wants to be able to get us smiling at all times, not because we must ignore the sad times, but because we can look forward to the good times.

It is right to be upset during sad times, but when it is right we should put those times behind us and focus on the new things ahead with God.

Psalm 7:1 Lord my God, I take refuge in you; save and deliver me from all who pursue me,

Are you willing to put your life in the hands of another person? Do you go to the front line as soon as there is a war on?

Jesus does not require us all to be martyrs or heroes; He does require faith and trust from us.

Will you step forward and ask Christ to be your shield?

Psalm 34:17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.

When was the last time you cried out to God and actually placed your trust in Him to answer your prayers?

I know it can be very hard to trust someone when you think your are in a corner with no way out – but God is able to do more than we know.

He is not just able to do the impossible, but He is willing to do so because we cry out to Him!

John 5:43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.

How easily do you believe someone when they tell you things? How much persuasion does it take before you give in?

Jesus hit the nail on the head by telling people they would believe others when they stand up and talk about themselves, but many still do not believe Jesus who stood up for them.

Faith is believing in the unseen – believing Jesus came to give His life in our stead, just because He loves us so!
