Luke 1:37 For no word from God will ever fail.
One thing we expect from people is for them to tell us a lie at some stage in our lives…
We even expect governments and leaders to lie to us too… because we live in a corrupt society!
God, on the other hand, always tells the truth and everything He promises will happen!

Titus 2:14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
Today is a celebration where we join in with the angels on that first Christmas, praising God!
This day marks the day our Saviour Jesus Christ was born – even it if is not the correct day of the calendar!
God did this because of His great love – let us show Him the love and respect He deserves by obeying Him!
Happy Christmas!

Galatians 4:7 So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.
Sometimes God asks you to do something and you think “How can I do something because I am broken…”
What we should never forget is God created everything and has set something in motion in your life…
We need to pick up the banner and continue the race because we are God’s adopted children!

1 John 2:26 I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray.
There will always be someone who does not want you to tell the truth about God and about Jesus!
These people try to persuade us Jesus is not the Christ and God is not real…
Listen to the proven word of God to gain strength in the truth to help you keep it!

Psalm 98:2 The Lord has made his salvation known and revealed his righteousness to the nations.
Did you know you do not have to try to explain every minute detail about God to others?
Our task is simple in comparison – all we need to do is to prepare the way for Christ to work…
That can be as simple as inviting someone to church!

John 1:47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, ‘Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.’
Don’t fool yourself into thinking you can hide things from everyone!
When Jesus said this it was because He knew what Nathanael would get up to and how he would influence the people around him.
Don’t be like Cain! Be more like Nathanael. Be more like Jesus!

Psalm 147:16 He spreads the snow like wool and scatters the frost like ashes.
Here are a few words to give you something positive to think about if we get snow and ice this winter!
I am always in awe of the snow when I see it; how could God create something so beautiful which has the power to bring a country to its knees!
God has created everything for a reason – always try to find out why God created things!

Psalm 29:7 The voice of the Lord strikes with flashes of lightning.
One of the things you get to learn when you first get to know Christ is that amazing power behind His word!
We may not see flashes of lightening when we hear from God, but we will know about it deep in our bones.
Listen when you get that feeling deep in your bones!

Psalm 116:12 What shall I return to the Lord for all his goodness to me?
Have you stopped to think about all the things God has done for you?
How have you repaid His for all those things?
God doesn’t do things so you will do things for Him… He does things because He loves you…
But He would be proud to know you do things for Him too!

1 Samuel 1:17 Eli answered, ‘Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him.’
When Hannah prayed silently to God by the doorstep of the Lord’s house, Eli presumed her to be drunken.
She opened up to Eli and said she was praying earnestly in anguish.
Eli’s answer was to ask God to grant her wish, which He did, and that is how Samuel was conceived!

1 Samuel 3:10 The Lord came and stood there, calling as at the other times, ‘Samuel! Samuel!’ Then Samuel said, ‘Speak, for your servant is listening.’
It took both Eli and Samuel a few times to realise it was God calling to Samuel.
It may take us a few times because we may not recognise who is calling!
But when we answer and invite God in, He will use us in mighty ways!

Ezekiel 33:7 Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me.
When God says something to you, you really should take notice!
God wants to warn all evil people they are doing evil and will have to pay for their sins in the end…
If we can change a few minds, they can change some too...

Mark 2:9 Which is easier: to say to this paralysed man, “Your sins are forgiven,” or to say, “Get up, take your mat and walk”?
When Jesus was faced with teachers of the law in Capernaum, He faced them head on knowing God was in control!
Often when we are faced with difficulties we cave in a don’t know what to do…
Making sure you remind yourself God is in control is always the best way forward – because He IS!

How often have you praised God over and over again?

Psalm 139:4 Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.
If God knows exactly what we are going to do and say and think, why doesn't He stop us from doing things wrong?
Because He has given us free choice in our lives so we can make the choice to follow Him and know we are not being forced to do so.
He will give us the moments to stop and commune with Him – it is our choice whether we do or not!

Psalm 50:7 Listen, my people, and I will speak; I will testify against you, Israel: I am God, your God.
When we stop listening to God, why should He continue to try to talk to us?
When God talks to others He may be trying to get them to come to us and get us going once again.
Wouldn’t you rather be the one enjoying the Good News and sharing it with others?

Psalm 89:20 I have found David my servant; with my sacred oil I have anointed him.
When God makes a choice, it is not done by how good things look or how rich and expensive things are.
God chooses by righteousness and will always make the right choice and stand by that choice forever.
Don’t forget, He chose you, and He will stand by His choice forever!

Psalm 144:7 Reach down your hand from on high; deliver me and rescue me from the mighty waters, from the hands of foreigners
How often do you give your fights over to God – by really trusting in Him?
When we are faced with the impossible it is God whom we should be calling on.
Even when things seem easy, give it to God and allow Him to guide you to victory!

1 Samuel 18:7 As they danced, they sang: ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.’
Does it hurt when others brag about someone else being better than you?
How often do you brag without thinking of the consequences?
Will you try to stop and think about the people around you before you start saying how good you are or how bad someone else is?
