Psalm 50:17 You hate my instruction and cast my words behind you.
What happens when you get told to do something you don’t want to do? Do you do it begrudgingly? Do you say yes but never do it?
When God asks you to do something He knows you are capable of doing it and he knows it is for the best in your life.
We need to listen to what God says and obey with gladness and praise… which can be hard!
Psalm 36:5 Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.
When things are not going well in our lives, we can feel very far from God because everything else seem to overwhelm us instead.
There is not place on earth, or anywhere, where God cannot reach out to you!
God’s love, mercy and faithfulness spans the heavens and the earth, covering all of us with extraordinary passion.
You cannot avoid God’s love!
Psalm 21:2 You have granted him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips.
Sometimes we think God only answers the people who are “important” in some way or another – especially when we read about Kings and Queens having their prayers answered.
But king David was a sinner just as much as we are. God did not have to answer his prayers just because he was king.
God answered his prayers because he asked God!
Psalm 89:5 The heavens praise your wonders, Lord, your faithfulness too, in the assembly of the holy ones.
Each miracle, each answered prayer, each blessing is looked upon by heaven and God is glorified for making it happen.
We don’t tend to see just who is behind everything because we are too focused on this world.
When something good happen, give God the glory because He is probably already organising the next step!
