Psalm 130:6 I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.
How often do you sing and shout out to God in praise and worship?
How often do you just sit still and be with God?

Luke 11:9 So I say to you: ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
Unless we ask for help others may not know we are in need of help.
There is no crime in asking for help and no judgement should be given against someone asking for help.
God wants to be able to help us all the time, maybe we just need to acknowledge Him as the potential giver!

What is it which makes you strong?
If you are fighting the fight by yourself you will soon see your weaknesses and failings…
But if you fight with someone else by your side, you may be able to get around those weaknesses through the strengths of the other person.
Take Christ with you at all time to make sure you have the best partner!

Matthew 22:14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”
God does not look for the people who pay the most money, talk or sing the loudest or attend the most…
God looks for those who are willing to trust and obey, those who are willing to listen.
God will always love us, but those who are chosen are the ones who love Him!

Psalm 98:2 The Lord has made his salvation known and revealed his righteousness to the nations.
When I first read through this psalm I was relating everything back to the times of King David…
But stop and think… When Jesus came to earth in human form He changed the world by the way He acted!
Will you try change someone by acting a bit more like Jesus?

Psalm 19:3 They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them.
How many things do you look at and wonder how God was able to make them so beautifully?
How many of the things you do and say reflect God?
We are open books for people to see and hear – the only way we can expect to share the gospel is by showing people we live the gospel in the ways we live and speak.

Romans 4:14 For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is worthless
Do you trust in God? Do you actually trust Him in everything?
So many times we trust in what we can do rather than trusting God because our faith does not quite make it…
Make you faith worth more by trusting God more in every thing in your life.

Luke 12:15 Then he said to them, ‘Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.’
This morning I have been thinking a lot about earthly possessions and what our actual needs are.
Jesus warned the person in the crowd they should not be so worried about their inheritance but more about what they need!
Sometimes we need to take a step back from riches and help someone else out who God has put in our lives.

Psalm 40:12 For troubles without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails within me.
We should be communing with God all the time so we can benefit from knowing what we should be doing all the time...
But, sometimes the world seem to be working against us and we cannot see a way forward.
If we don’t listen to what God is saying after calling out, how can we hope to survive?

When everyone around us is doing something wrong, is it right to join in? No!

God can stay closer to us when we do not live sinful lives!
