Psalm 107:43 Let the one who is wise heed these things and ponder the loving deeds of the Lord.
How many times have you read through the Bible and remembered all the things God has done for people all over the place?
How many times have you been helped in some way by God, directly or indirectly?
Gog wants us to remember all He has done so we will be encouraged to trust Him more with things in our lives!

Psalm 70:4 But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who long for your saving help always say, ‘The Lord is great!’
In this petition to God, David pleads for God’s continued support to all the people, especially anyone who is willing to call on the Lord.
God may know who loves Him, who trusts Him and who will depend on Him, but He also wants all of us to call on Him for help!
When we call out for help and help arrives, we are encouraged and our trust in that help increases – the same goes for our hope in Christ!

It is only when you get to realise God’s love do you begin to see how precious and unending it is!

We don’t have to be in Heaven holding on tight to His hands in order to know His love and safety – we can experience that right here and now!

Song of Solomon 3:1 All night long on my bed I looked for the one my heart loves; I looked for him but did not find him.
There are going to be times in your life when you look for God and think He cannot be found or seek help and think none is coming!
Never forget God is always with us and ever present in everything we do, His constant watch over us is real.
Don’t be discouraged just because things are not going your way, wait on God and allow Him to work in His time!

Jeremiah 7:4 Do not trust in deceptive words and say, ‘This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord!’
How many times have you given in to what others have said about you and not finished a task just because they said you couldn’t?
We are all attacked by the world and the people who don’t want us to succeed at some stage, but we don’t have to listen to them!
God knows what we are capable of and when we are willing to continue listening to Him for advice, He will guide us the best way forward...

Psalm 138:5 May they sing of the ways of the Lord, for the glory of the Lord is great.
Wouldn’t it be fantastic to hear more world leaders praising God’s name and showing us all we can and should depend on God for more in our lives!
God should be praised for the peace and mercy He shows all of us, the love He brings into our lives and the advice He is willing to give us!
Remind a leader today how they should be praising God!

2 Corinthians 4:15 All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.
One of the most precious things you can give someone is hope!
Hope spreads through communities as quick as gossip, but it continues to give. Hope leads to hope.
If that hope is based on something sure like the love of God, then that hope will continue to give more each step it takes!

Psalm 79:12 Pay back into the laps of our neighbours seven times the contempt they have hurled at you, Lord.
What is your attitude toward people who have chosen not to believe in Christ? Do you call for them to be burned as chaff?
Jesus taught us to not be this way because He saw the divisions this brought into our lives.
God wanted us to be separate from non-believers to give us a chance at having hope; Jesus came to give us physical and spiritual hope, turning these divisions into something very different for us.

Psalm 59:4 I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Arise to help me; look on my plight!
When you have some sort a gain in life which others do not have, you may well feel like you are being surrounded by wolves who are after what you have!
Humans can be very greedy, spiteful, jealous and proud; making us do unsavoury things.
God wants us to focus on the love we share for each other rather than the riches our treasures we have.

Psalm 146:3 Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save.
Sometimes we look at the important people in our lives or the leaders of our countries and we believe what they do and say without question…
Well, we should be able to do this! Unfortunately we do have a lot of corrupt leaders around the world who lead their people astray through what they do and say.
God warns us not to follow people but to follow God – we can do both if our leaders would follow God first of all!

2 Corinthians 9:7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
One thing God does not do is to force you into any situation! The world may seem to force you into many things, but God does not!
We are given free choice to follow and obey Christ, or to do our own thing – even if that is to go against God like Judas did!
God wants to see us come forward willingly to do His will – that is what will please Him most!

No matter how far things have gone wrong in your life, God will show you there is something to be thankful for and allow you to give thanks.

Live you life with Christ and know you will live eternity with Him too!

Psalm 4:4 Tremble and do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent.
When we get to learn about the laws God set down and how He made sure people knew He was serious about those laws, we begin to learn about fearing God.
We need to remember God is all powerful and has told us what will happen if we do not listen to Him…
Think about that as you lay down tonight and know the fear of the Lord!

Psalm 5:2 Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.
How earnest are you with your prayers? We are told to pray often, honestly and humbly to God; but also earnestly!
God wants us to know at all times we know He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
We need to remember this when we do pray – because this is the Creator of the universe we are asking things of!

Psalm 121:2 My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
How much do you actually depend on God for? This is a measure of your faith in Him!
Sometimes we are too busy with our lives to realise just how much we do rely on God for – we do need to stop and think about this!
God is the maker of Heaven and earth… everything! We can and should rely on Him for everything!

Psalm 51:14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, you who are God my Saviour, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
When I think about the traumatic things we go through when we see how we have done something very wrong, this doesn’t even come close to what Jesus had to endure!
These words by the author of this psalm were heartfelt because he knew he had done very bad things.
Admitting things to God and allowing Him to forgive you is the only way of getting over trauma!

Psalm 137:4 How can we sing the songs of the Lord while in a foreign land?
When you go somewhere foreign, how do you cope with living your life?
It is hard to try and live your own life when in amongst foreigners because everything they do is probably different to what you would normally do!
If we focus on Christ when amongst strangers, we can live a good life even when we are away from everything we think normal!

Psalm 97:9 For you, Lord, are the Most High over all the earth; you are exalted far above all gods.
We can see how many people around the world believe in their gods, some calling on statues of their gods to do their bidding, while others call on effects which they say are from their gods.
We call out to our God who is creator of this all. All people, angels and everything else all lift up the One True God who is in Heaven.
We should not fall short and create our own gods but worship the One True God in honestly!

Isaiah 1:13 Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to me. New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations – I cannot bear your worthless assemblies.
When we say we are doing things for God we may be able to fool people, but we can never fool God!
God looks into our hearts when we say we do things with or for Him; and if our hearts are not in the works, then there may as well be no works from us!
God does not want us to be the biggest and best – He just wants us to do our best for Him...
