Psalm 98:4 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music;
One of the things we do not do enough is to acknowledge God in our lives!
Worship songs, singing, music and poetry are a few of the ways in which we can give God the glory.
If you are like me and can’t sing too well, can’t play music and can’t write poems, then we can simply talk to Him more.
Let God know how you feel!

Psalm 33:4 For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.
How is it that the Word of God continues to be one of the top selling books, if not the top selling book…
God wants us all to be able to get to know Him through His Word and the more mankind looks into it, the more we believe it to be the truth.
God has made sure it is available to anyone who wants it… men stop this from happening where they can because of things like pride and greed!

Ephesians 1:17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
One of the best ways of helping someone is to pray for them… and believe God will help them!
God wants us to trust Him in every aspect of our lives.
Jesus promised us the Holy Spirit so we can go forward confidently with Him in every part of our lives.

2 Timothy 4:2 preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage – with great patience and careful instruction.
One of the things God tries to teach us is to be patient with telling others about Him…
It is not a simple thing to turn your life around and believe in Jesus after not doing so.
Be patient and continue giving people encouragement and the truth.

Psalm 100:4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.
Have you ever tried to get into someone else’s party without an invitation? It doesn’t work!
This is why Jesus sent out the ultimate invitation to every single one of us when He came to live amongst mankind.
Now we can gladly and assuredly enter into His domain knowing we have the invitation to be there!

Psalm 147:5 Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.
When was the last time you tried something new and gave up because you couldn’t quite understand it?
God does not have that problem of not understanding anything!
Put your faith and trust in Him to make sure you get the right answers when you ask the questions!

Psalm 98:72 Let the sea resound, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.
Who has the right to rejoice that Christ in in their lives?
Everyone and everything!
Not only can we rejoice about having Christ in our lives, everything around us should be doing the same!
It may be hard for the sea to shout out, but it does in many ways!

Psalm 33:6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
It is because of God we are all here today! It is because God continues to look out for and after us every day…
Mankind has come into this world and has wrought havoc on every part of this planet…
Yet God reaches out to every corner on earth and spreads a bit more hope and happiness through His righteousness!

Luke 12:54 He said to the crowd: ‘When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, “It’s going to rain,” and it does.
We all like to be weather-people in the UK, saying we know best what the weather is going to be like today or tomorrow…
But we are too scared to talk about what God is going to do!
Draw closer to God today and allow Him to guide you closer so you can know His will in your life!

Psalm 122:3 Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together.
One thing I thought of when I read this verse was how every town and city is made up of a lot of different people.
We are all different but because we live so close together, we all share in the community…
Jesus wants us to be close to one another in spirit and in love...

Luke 18:11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: “God, I thank you that I am not like other people – robbers, evildoers, adulterers – or even like this tax collector.
How do you go about showing others your trust in Christ?
Do you shout about it like this Pharisee, or do you stay quiet in the background and simply trust in Him?
Christ wants a bit of both – but He will openly reward us when we quietly but honestly trust in Him!

Ephesians 4:32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
God’s forgiveness goes far and beyond our imagination; I mean, who would allow their child to die for our sake and then give us a permanent and foolproof way to be with them forever!
When you next get mad at someone, think what Christ has already done…
Think about how much God has forgiven them and you already!

Luke 13:21 It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about thirty kilograms of flour until it worked all through the dough.
When you put some yeast in with the flour mix, it spreads all throughout the dough quite quickly…
We need to put a bit more yeast in our churches so the Gospel can spread a bit quicker!
Don’t hold back just because it falls outside the earthly rules – God’s rules count!

Luke 13:24 Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to.
One of the biggest problems we face in our lives is our end goal is not very big of a goal to aim for.
I used to think how huge football goals were when I stood in the goal mouth… but when you kicking a ball into the goal it seems to shrink!
Let the Holy Spirit guide you toward your heavenly goal.

Psalm 144:1 Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.
Who has taught you the right way to take on life?
I hope you have been taught by some godly people because the truth and righteousness are the best place to start…
Which brings me to the best teacher of all. God, through Christ and the Holy Spirit are the only teachers we need!

John 15:17 This is my command: love each other.
What other commandment could Jesus have given us which hits at our very core than to love one another?
The Ten Commandments that we know from our bibles are hard to accept because they cover so much…
But they all stem from the commandment to love one another – that is the core of Christian life!

Psalm 42:3 My tears have been my food day and night, while people say to me all day long, ‘Where is your God?’
How many times have you had someone ask you “where is your God” when things go wrong in your life?
I know I have had to put up with quite a few occasions when people have doubted God because things go wrong…
But we live in a natural world where things are going to go wrong, not because God does or doesn’t do something but because mankind did or didn’t do something...

Psalm 32:2 Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord does not count against them and in whose spirit is no deceit.
Have you had to face up to someone lately because you did something wrong previously…
Wouldn’t it have been good to stand up and say you were not guilty instead?
Christ took the blame for what we have done wrong – He did that because He loves us!

Psalm 131:1 My heart is not proud, Lord, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me.
Why do you do the things you do? Is it for recognition and reward?
Have you tried doing something just because it will bless someone else?
Have you tried blessing someone you know cannot ever hope to pay you back?

Daniel 7:15 I, Daniel, was troubled in spirit, and the visions that passed through my mind disturbed me.
When God tells you something, be it in dreams, visions, or someone else prophesying over you, you may not always like what you hear!
I know I have been told things through prophecy which I did not expect and could not come to terms with initially…
But God knows what is best for you at all times and will try to give you what is best!
