Psalm 57:5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
One thing we can do is to act differently to others on earth!
Allow people to see Christians should live differently and include others in everything we do.
Thank you Dad for teaching me this while you were still with us!

Psalm 80:4 How long, Lord God Almighty, will your anger smoulder against the prayers of your people?
How often have you though God wasn’t helping you as much as He should?
How many times have you done something God and you both know you shouldn’t have?
Don’t be the judge. Allow the Holy One, God, to be the rightful judge!

John 2:5 His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’
Mary knew what Jesus was capable of because she fully believed in who He was.
When things did not go so well at the wedding, she called for Jesus and told the servants to do everything Jesus told them to do.
Out of obedience and faith they filled the water jars with water and Jesus turned them to wine.

2 Samuel 5:3 When all the elders of Israel had come to King David at Hebron, the king made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord, and they anointed David king over Israel.
David made sure the truth always came out – even when he was the one trying to hide it!
Here the people recognised the truth and elected their next king because of what he had done for them.
You can be assured the truth will come out – are you willing to support that truth?

2 Samuel 6:19 Then he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisins to each person in the whole crowd of Israelites, both men and women. And all the people went to their homes.
When David had completed his sacrifice to God to give Him all the glory, he stopped and did something personal.
He gave each person in the crowd who came to worship God a load of bread and a cake of raisins!
This was his way of saying, just as we are enlisted into God’s family, we are all in one big church family!

Psalm 89:21 My hand will sustain him; surely my arm will strengthen him.
As David continued to live he remembered the promise God had made to sustain and strengthen Him.
This same promise comes to each of us and we should readily accept it from God.
We should also sing our praises to God just as David did throughout his life!

1 Kings 2:3 and observe what the Lord your God requires: walk in obedience to him, and keep his decrees and commands, his laws and regulations, as written in the Law of Moses. Do this so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you go
When King David knew he was dying, he called Solomon to him and gave his some instructions.
His words were simple – to listen to God, obey God and do what He requires.
This is what being a disciple looks like and this is what Jesus asks of us.

Psalm 18:6 In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.
What happens when you lift your prayers to God? He listens and answers!
Our problem is we don’t want to wait for God to answer our prayers in the perfect way…
We want answers, and we want them now! We don’t wan to wait for anyone!

Psalm 119:11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
Jesus was always ready to stop and teach people the Good News, the Gospel.
When people hear and accept the Gospel, they begin to want to live by those words.
The Good News must be planted in our hearts so it will flourish where we can then live by it and avoid sin in our lives!

Proverbs 8:1 Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice?
What is it we require in order to understand things? Wisdom!
We should reach out to grasp wisdom so we can understand the things of God more.
As we understand the things of God more, we can get to know God better and know of His amazing love for us!

1 Kings 8:9 There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites after they came out of Egypt.
What made the ark so special – it certainly wasn’t because it was full and magical items!
The ark contained a couple of tablets which were the promise between God and the people of Israel.
What made the ark so special – it was the promise it held within it...

Psalm 84:9 Look on our shield, O God; look with favour on your anointed one.
When was the last time you asked God to look and see how good you were?
When was the last time you asked God to look and see how good Jesus was?
Jesus stepped up so we will not have to pay up!

Psalm 37:30 The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom, and their tongues speak what is just.
Where have you learned most about the gospel and Christ’s ways from?
I hope you answer was from church, others and the bible because that is what God has given us.
As we learn we can teach. As we grow we can help others grow. It’s called discipleship!

Mark 7:28 ‘Lord,’ she replied, ‘even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.’
One of the things we have to understand is God loves us no matter what!
We can be from the worst family on the planet and still turn to God.
We have the choice and God stand by the choice we make – our choice affects us and our families...

1 Kings 11:31 Then he said to Jeroboam, ‘Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: “See, I am going to tear the kingdom out of Solomon’s hand and give you ten tribes.
When Solomon went against God’s wishes and started honouring others gods, He was jealous and promised to split the kingdom apart because of this rebellion.
God will always do what He says!
Don’t force God to break your world apart just because you don’t want to listen to Him!

Psalm 106:20 They exchanged their glorious God for an image of a bull, which eats grass.
When we do silly things, God sees what we are doing…
We can look at this scripture and think these people were silly…
But how many times have we limited what God can do because we doubted...

Mark 9:9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
Have you ever tried standing on a street corner a shout to all passers by about Jesus?
Jesus hints about something very important here – telling people about Christ when the time is right!
Sometimes it is all about the right time and not how loud you can shout!

Psalm 119:69 Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies, I keep your precepts with all my heart.
Do not worry about what people say of you – what matter is what God thinks of you.
Do not worry about you past sins because Christ has covered those sins.
You are a child of God with no more sins attached – just loved by god!

James 1:13 When tempted, no one should say, ‘God is tempting me.’ For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;
How many times have you heard someone saying Go has let them down or has not answered prayers?
How many times do you see someone, or yourself, letting God down?
God does not tempt people, rather the evil in this world is what tempts us...

2 Corinthians 6:2 For he says, ‘In the time of my favour I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.’ I tell you, now is the time of God’s favour, now is the day of salvation.
We often get worried someone has not heard us and we shout things out to make sure they hear us…
We don’t have to do this with God because He knows us deeper than our own thoughts!
He knew us before we understood. He loved us before we were born. He wants us all to be saved!
