Psalm 103:11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
I don’t know if you have ever been able to fly very high in an aeroplane, but the higher you get the more magical it seems.
As a young lad I can remember our Dad flying us in a small plane to over 9000 feet above the ground. Everything was totally different and inspiring.
When we see things from a new perspective we begin to see things differently; maybe one day we will understand more about God’s love for us!

One of the luck people who did not have to die before being taken up to Heaven was Elijah!
Elisha was walking with him when a chariot of fire separated them and too Elijah heavenward…
We need to always be ready to expect the unexpected because we do not know when and how Jesus will return!

1 Thessalonians 5:19 Do not quench the Spirit.
One of the things we like to do is to take credit for things others do because we look good!
When God asks you to do something, it will probably be coming to you through the Holy Spirit.

I thank God He chose the perfect people to raise our Saviour on earth!

Luke 1:37 For no word from God will ever fail.
One thing we expect from people is for them to tell us a lie at some stage in our lives…
We even expect governments and leaders to lie to us too… because we live in a corrupt society!
God, on the other hand, always tells the truth and everything He promises will happen!

John 1:47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, ‘Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.’
Don’t fool yourself into thinking you can hide things from everyone!
When Jesus said this it was because He knew what Nathanael would get up to and how he would influence the people around him.
Don’t be like Cain! Be more like Nathanael. Be more like Jesus!
