Psalm 106:20 They exchanged their glorious God for an image of a bull, which eats grass.
It really does sound stupid when we read it out loud, doesn’t it!
Why do we do the things we do when we know God has done great things for us – history tells us!
Try to keep God close and sin far – it does make a big difference in your life!

John 7:16 Jesus answered, ‘My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.
If we want others to be able to find out the truth, we should be willing to tell them!
But we should not try to teach them the truth as we think we know it…
But the truth which comes from God!

John 8:8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
What did Jesus do after telling the people around Him their truths?
He waited…
Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do in our lives is to wait knowing God is working.
Don’t cut short God’s work but allow Him to complete the task with you!

Whenever you have a moment to spare, thank God!

Psalm 71:7 I have become a sign to many; you are my strong refuge.
When people see you, do they see you or do they see Christ?
We need to be a reflection of Christ and not a refection of this world.

Psalm 130:4 But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you.
Imagine if we had someone who watched our every step in life and chose to punish us for every little thing we do against their way of living?
We do have someone who sees everything we do and even think…
But He loves us with a grace which allows us to live a free life – include Him as your guide for a better life!

Psalm 121:1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains - where does my help come from?
Have you ever written something on a rock or tree in the wild and tried to go back to it years later?
Our memories tend to fade over time especially when we are not being reminded of things all the time.
God does not need reminders because He is always with us, watching over us and loving us!

Galatians 2:4 This matter arose because some false believers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves.
One thing we come up against as Christians is other people thinking they can walk all over us because we are kind!
Jesus went out of His way to be kind and to love other people – He got a lot of abuse because of that!
People can be wicked. It does not mean we should stop being Christians!

1 King 18:43 “Go and look toward the sea,” he told his servant. And he went up and looked. “There is nothing there,” he said. Seven times Elijah said, “Go back.”
How many times do you pray for something? Once? Twice? Three times?
Elijah was trying to show Ahab how important faith is, not a faith which lasts an hour or two, but real faith.
Trusting in God means putting your trust in Him always!

Psalm 27:11 Teach me your way, Lord; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.
When was the last time you stopped to listen to what God wants from you?
When was the last time you did something you thought God wanted and it didn't work out?

Psalm 16:4 Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more. I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods or take up their names on my lips.
When people know us as Christians, our lives become living examples of what they think Christians are to them…
If we go off the rails and support others gods and ways, then people will think we support them and their ways.
We need to stand firm in our beliefs with Christ as the head of our church!

Mark 4:33 With many similar parables Jesus spoke the word to them, as much as they could understand.
How do you show and tell people about Jesus? Do you live a life which reflects Christ?
Don’t try and get technical and try to prove Jesus is real through earthly means…
Allow Christ to show people He is real through your changed life. Lead by example!

Psalm 5:3 In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.

God wants us to enjoy all He is willing to give us and wants us to know how much He cares for us...
