Psalm 124:7 We have escaped like a bird from the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.
How often do you face opposition for doing God’s work?
There will always be people who lay traps and talk against us when we are following God’s wishes…
We need to remain firm in our faith God is watching over us and has put the right things in place for us to succeed already!

Psalm 103:13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
One of the great things about our God is how He continues to show us love, mercy and compassion despite what we do!
If we would spend more time thinking about how much God loves us despite what we do, we may be able to love one another a bit more.
Spend time to expand love!

Luke 9:9 But Herod said, ‘I beheaded John. Who, then, is this I hear such things about?’ And he tried to see him.
If we spend enough time searching for God, we will get to learn and see the truth…
If we spend enough time talking about God and showing others there is something different, they may start searching for Him too.
Isn’t it wonderful to see a church community growing...

Genesis 28:16 When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, ‘Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.’
When we go about our normal lives we are probably not aware of how many people can see us at any one instance.
Even if we look around and spot all the people and the cameras we still fall short…
God is with us every moment of every day and we should be showing Him we know!

Luke 9:44 ‘Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: the Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men.’
We have a problem with bad stuff happening in the world and it will continue to get worse while people do not listen to God.
The evil one continues to lead people astray every day by encouraging people to live for this world and the riches therein.
God wants us to focus on the long term riches we get in Heaven after this world is done with...

Deuteronomy 8:14 then your heart will become proud and you will forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
How often do you get to thank the person who grew the food you consume?
How often are you able to find what you desire in the shops?
We must never grow too proud to thank the people who do all the hard work so we can live how we do!

Zechariah 8:4 This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Once again men and women of ripe old age will sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each of them with cane in hand because of their age.
If a city is safe enough for old people to gather in the open without feeling endangered, I believe it is very safe.
But who looks after these old people… the people of the city!
Who takes care of the children who want to play in the streets… the people of the city!
We are the people of Christ’s church. We need to look after all people!

Zechariah 8:21 and the inhabitants of one city will go to another and say, “Let us go at once to entreat the Lord and seek the Lord Almighty. I myself am going.”
Do you shy away from showing people you love God? Do you hide the fact you are a Christian?
God has given us a choice to follow Him, or not – it is our choice to make.
Allow people to see you have made the choice to love God so they will one day be encouraged to do the same...

Nehemiah 2:5 and I answered the king, ‘If it pleases the king and if your servant has found favour in his sight, let him send me to the city in Judah where my ancestors are buried so that I can rebuild it.’
I was told on many occasions by my Grandmother that if I did not ask I would not receive…
And told on many occasion not to ask such things!
God will always listen to your prayers and when they are coming from your heart, He is willing to answer!

Psalm 19:7 The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
I don’t know how many times I have heard these verses said only to be followed by a monologue of disinformation!
God has given us all we need to know to uphold our belief in Him and to supply us for what lies ahead.
Trust in and believe in these words He has given us – any confusion only comes from people, not this scripture!

Isaiah 55:1 Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.
What are you looking for in your local church?
Are you seeking the things you can touch and feel, or seeking something deeper within?
Will you seek Christ and allow Him to guide you in what you should be doing?

Psalm 69:33 The Lord hears the needy and does not despise his captive people.
Every prayer we lift up to God is heard by Him. He will never turn His back on us!
If we are in need, we should lift up our prayers knowing He is listening.
If we are enjoying life, we should lift up our prayers praising Him!

Philippians 3:7 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.
What have been your goals you have reached for so far in your life?
How many goals have you put aside because your life changed over time?
Will you try to keep the primary goal of Loving God first in your life!

Psalm 69:1 Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my neck.
How often do you find yourself in deep water where you cannot see a way out?
God will never leave or forsake us because He has promised to watch over us.
If we allow Him to be close, He can help us a lot more than we realise!

Psalm 130:6 I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.
How often do you sing and shout out to God in praise and worship?
How often do you just sit still and be with God?
God requires a personal connection with you: that can be sitting in silence just as much as singing your lungs out!

Psalm 86:8 Among the gods there is none like you, Lord; no deeds can compare with yours.
When you get to know God and start to see how much He does behind the scenes in our daily lives, you will start to see the real God!
There is no god like God because He alone has made everything and continues to watch over us.
Will you sit and have a conversation with Him today...

Luke 11:9 So I say to you: ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
Unless we ask for help others may not know we are in need of help.
There is no crime in asking for help and no judgement should be given against someone asking for help.
God wants to be able to help us all the time, maybe we just need to acknowledge Him as the potential giver!

Psalm 9:3 My enemies turn back; they stumble and perish before you.
What is it which makes you strong?
If you are fighting the fight by yourself you will soon see your weaknesses and failings…
But if you fight with someone else by your side, you may be able to get around those weaknesses through the strengths of the other person.
Take Christ with you at all time to make sure you have the best partner!

Joel 3:20 Judah will be inhabited for ever and Jerusalem through all generations.
God promised His chosen people they would have a home in and around Jerusalem forever.
Mankind and greed continues to break down what God set up in the beginning!
Pray for the people in our troubled times so they stop and listen to God rather than people who choose to follow greed or pride.

Matthew 22:14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”
God does not look for the people who pay the most money, talk or sing the loudest or attend the most…
God looks for those who are willing to trust and obey, those who are willing to listen.
God will always love us, but those who are chosen are the ones who love Him!
