Psalm 82:2 How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked?
How many times will you go off to do something else instead of going to church?
How many times will you save your money, just in case, instead of helping someone in need?
How many times will you support the wicked because they will give you a good report?
Stop. Face Christ. Turn your back on the evils of the world...
Psalm 34:6 This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles.
This says it all! When we call out to God, He hears us! It does not matter whether we are the rich person sitting on great piles of wealth or the poorest person drowning in debt, God hears you when you pray!
He wants us to acknowledge the troubles we are in. He wants us to call out to Him for help!
He wants to answer our prayers just as He has promised to do so – so call out for help now!
John 17:18 As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.
Jesus faithfully recounts His ministry to His Father in Heaven; how often do you lift up what you have done to God?
The more we can remind ourselves of what we have done, or the chances we have missed out on, the more we can do better next time!
God wants us to be honest and open with Him. If we are finding things hard, we need to pray for help. If we are doing great, we need to remind ourselves of what we do by lifting it up as a prayer to God!
Psalm 62:10 Do not trust in extortion or put vain hope in stolen goods; though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them.
How easy it is to forget God when we gain money or other riches from unexpected places!
God loves us and we take advantage of this by always asking for protection when things are bad; how often do we turn back and thank Him when times are good?
Take time today to thank God for anything you have in your life and praise Him for being able to have Him in your life!
