One verse can say so much! Give thanks to God for all He does in your life and the lives of everyone around you!

Psalm 136:15 but swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea; His love endures for ever.

Have you ever had a wonderful dream only to wake up and realise it was just a dream?

Psalm 78:25 Human beings ate the bread of angels; he sent them all the food they could eat.

Why? Because He had promised Moses He would look after the people – God keeps His promises.
Why didn’t He just punish them? Because He is full of grace and mercy!

Don’t get God mad at you! He is Holy and He is just. He will always do what is right!
If you go against God, don’t expect Him to come and support you in your wrong-doings.
Keep close to God and obey Him – that is the safest place to be!

Jeremiah 30:22 “So you will be my people, and I will be your God.”
Jeremiah was given the unenviable task of telling the people they would face hardships, but also how they would come out safe in the end.
We live in a terrible world where so many bad things happen – our actions do cause much of the problems.
God God is willing and able to give hope, love, mercy and peace to all who wait on Him!

Matthew 13:29 “No,” he answered, “because while you are pulling up the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them.”
How many bad neighbours do you know? Does that stop people from living in the area?
Most of us will know someone who does not fit in to the community in some way, but that does not stop the community from thriving in its own ways.
God wants us to care for all people so when the time comes, the bad people cannot say “we didn’t know!”

Psalm 119:130 The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.
Where do you look for your knowledge and wisdom?
Do you search earthly ways and people to teach you what you think you should know?
Or do you seek God’s ways to teach you what you think you should know?
Should we not be seeking God’s Word to teach us what He knows we need to know!

Psalm 99:6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel was among those who called on his name; they called on the Lord and he answered them.
We can look back in our bibles and see the difference between people who stayed close to God and those who drifted away from Him.
We recognise great names in our bibles because these people stood as great disciples.
Great disciples enjoy life but they have even better things to look forward to after life!

Psalm 81:6 I removed the burden from their shoulders; their hands were set free from the basket.
When Christ told people to bring their burdens to Him, it was initially difficult for people to understand what He meant.
We equate burdens to things we carry round be it on our shoulders or in our hands.
What Christ was talking about was the weights we carry round with our souls: spiritual, emotional and mental struggles.

How often do you stop to think who is the one behind all of the marvels we have in nature?
How often do you stop to think about the people who work hard to supply our every day needs?
How often do you thank others for what they do?
