How do you react when you are told you are doing something wrong?
Most of us object and make a bigger scene about being told we are doing things wrong…
What would you do if Christ showed you all you are doing wrong?

Psalm 97:7 All who worship images are put to shame, those who boast in idols - worship him, all you gods!

Psalm 89:26 He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, the Rock my Saviour.’
God recognises all who look to Him as God and Saviour; He upholds them too!
So many warnings about not following God are written in our bibles, it would be foolish to ignore them…
And yet so many people do ignore God’s warnings and live their own public lives without a true God!

Psalm 85:8 I will listen to what God the Lord says; he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants - but let them not turn to folly.
When we are willing to listen to the best possible plan forward – we may just succeed!
When we listen to our pride and greed – we have no hope but in ourselves.
Let us rather hope in the one who knows it all!

What use is it to go to college or university if you are not going to use the knowledge you have gained?
The same can be said about learning about Jesus – if we do not learn from what we hear, we make it useless!
God’s Word is everything we should aim for!

Psalm 79:9 Help us, God our Saviour, for the glory of your name; deliver us and forgive our sins for your name’s sake.
Why do you call on God to help you? Is it to get you out of a spot of bother, or is it so God can get the glory?
If we are seeking personal gratification for what we do for God, we are not doing it for God!
Stop looking for personal gratification out of your work for God!

Do you think you have done all Christ has asked of you?
If you have kept Christ close at all times, then chances are you have listened and obeyed...

When we do come back with open hearts, He will fill them and refill us too!

Psalm 50:16 But to the wicked person, God says: “What right have you to recite my laws or take my covenant on your lips?”
God may be asking you to make a choice; but He gives you the right answer before you have to make the choice.

Know God and know He has your back, always!

Psalm 119:1 Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord.
How would you describe doing things according to the law of the Lord?
Do you describe it as being the very long list of laws written down in the Bible, or just what Jesus said?
Jesus came to uphold the law and teach us what it really means because we lost our way!

How do you describe yourself when someone wants to know what you are like as a Christian?
Are you promoting yourself or Christ?
We are nothing without Christ other than sinners: Christ makes us whole again through forgiveness!
