Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.

I know we are told not to tempt God especially with verses like those describing how Jesus was tempted by Satan, but these words come long before Jesus was living amongst us in human form.

Ahaz was adamant he would not tempt God, so God told Isaiah he should tell Ahaz a sign would be shown; one which could not be ignored!

God will go out of His way to allow us to know the truth; do we dare to listen?

Psalm 85:4 Restore us again, God our Saviour, and put away your displeasure towards us.

How often do you get angry with people when they do not listen to your advice? How often do you get upset when you don’t agree with the advice others give you?

God is constantly trying to give us good advice so we can have a better life, one more in line with what He has planned for us…

If we are willing to listen to the good advice and obey God, we are going to see the bright future because God will only give you the best advice!

Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

What do you do about your sins? Do you just shrug them off and move on because Jesus said He paid for them?

Do you remember them and find it hard to put them aside?

Jesus wants us to remember the sins for as long as it takes to try and move away from repeating them.

If we don’t think about the sins we do, we will never be able to allow Christ to take on those sins permanently!
