Only the one can call out to God and ask for help – whether in voice or in spirit – call out to God!

Psalm 31:1 In you, Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your righteousness.
Is it right to demand God looks after us?
God has promised to look after us show Him we love Him and we do that by obeying Him!

When we obey God we can expect His love and protection!

Genesis 19:15 With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, ‘Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.’
If you have ever had to leave your home in a hurry to go to a safer place, you know a little of what Lot was going through.
When God asks you to move it is not just to move you out of danger but to move you away from temptations.
Listen to where God is leading you...

Psalm 116:3 The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came over me; I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
Sometimes it is the little things in life which seem to be the hardest to overcome.

It is never too early or too late to call out to God for help! Do it!

Matthew 9:16 No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse.
Darning and patchwork seem to be a lost art in our modern world so this quote does not make sense to many people!
We are all different and we should not impose our ways or our ideals upon others – God has given us all free choice.
Yes, help people, encourage people, discourage people from doing bad things, but the choice is ultimately theirs!

Psalm 91:3 Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.
I do find it hard to depend totally on God at times especially where I can see a way forward and others are succeeding around me…

Psalm 17:7 Show me the wonders of your great love, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their foes.
Yesterday I was reminded of the power of God which brings a peace to us which nothing else can.
This is just the starting point when we accept Christ into our lives and stay close to Him for protection.

Psalm 33:20 We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.
How often do you find yourself waiting in a queue or waiting for someone to respond to a request?

Psalm 105:15 ‘Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm.’
The Psalmist was very good at showing total trust in God, most of the time…
Many times we ‘allow’ God to do certain things in our lives instead of giving Him control.
To allow God to do what He does best means giving Him control!

Psalm 37:27 Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell in the land for ever.
God wants us to turn away from evil because He knows we are weak and may give in to evil because it seems OK!
God continued to remind the people of Israel to turn from their evil ways and do good – because that is when He was able to do the greatest good for all people.
Other people around us depend on what we do!

Genesis 50:24 Then Joseph said to his brothers, ‘I am about to die. But God will surely come to your aid and take you up out of this land to the land he promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.’
We have a rich history of how God looked after people who continued to have faith in Him…
We too can add to that history if we have faith in Christ, listen to His will in our lives and continue to obey Him.
Join the innumerable number of people God has looked after.

Psalm 65:2 You who answer prayer, to you all people will come.
Who were/are the most popular people in school? Are they the ones who make the most noise?
If we follow the world and it’s ways, the only rewards we will gain are worldly gains.
But when we follow Christ the gains we will build up are heavenly and eternal.
Follow the right person, or lead!
