James 2:8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, ‘Love your neighbour as yourself,’ you are doing right.

How many times have you complained about your neighbours? How many times have you supported your neighbours?

What is the reason for the discrepancy between those two numbers?

Jesus wants us to be open and honest with our neighbours – this is how we can start to love them...

Mark 8:22 They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.

When we are at wits end, sick, poor or feeling trapped in any way, it is easy to call out to God and ask for help.

When we read stories like this in the bible, do we think about the helplessness or the person affected, the hope of the people around, or the amazement of those onlookers?

What we need to do is to think of this more as an every day occurrence, always knowing our faith in Christ will give us miracles and blessings...

Psalm 94:12 Blessed is the one you discipline, Lord, the one you teach from your law;

When I look back on my life I see many places where I was disciplined because of the things I did wrong; and I learned from them all!

Sometimes I wonder at why modern society does not focus on discipline much any more – but it is my view and not what is actually happening.

Jesus wants us to listen to what His Word has for us, learning from it, obeying it and becoming better people as we try to emulate how Jesus lived His life.
