Psalm 130:4 But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you.
Imagine if we had someone who watched our every step in life and chose to punish us for every little thing we do against their way of living?
We do have someone who sees everything we do and even think…
But He loves us with a grace which allows us to live a free life – include Him as your guide for a better life!

Psalm 121:1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains - where does my help come from?
Have you ever written something on a rock or tree in the wild and tried to go back to it years later?
Our memories tend to fade over time especially when we are not being reminded of things all the time.
God does not need reminders because He is always with us, watching over us and loving us!

Galatians 2:4 This matter arose because some false believers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves.
One thing we come up against as Christians is other people thinking they can walk all over us because we are kind!
Jesus went out of His way to be kind and to love other people – He got a lot of abuse because of that!
People can be wicked. It does not mean we should stop being Christians!

1 King 18:22 Then Elijah said to them, “I am the only one of the Lord’s prophets left, but Baal has four hundred and fifty prophets.
Being confident in the Lord will show others how serious we are about Him!
Elijah was very confident God was on His side and went up against hundreds of false prophets without flinching!
Are you confident enough to sit and talk God through with someone?

1 King 18:43 “Go and look toward the sea,” he told his servant. And he went up and looked. “There is nothing there,” he said. Seven times Elijah said, “Go back.”
How many times do you pray for something? Once? Twice? Three times?
Elijah was trying to show Ahab how important faith is, not a faith which lasts an hour or two, but real faith.
Trusting in God means putting your trust in Him always!

Psalm 27:11 Teach me your way, Lord; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.
When was the last time you stopped to listen to what God wants from you?
When was the last time you did something you thought God wanted and it didn't work out?
We live in a world where we face opposition just because we are Christians – listen out for God’s guidance, always.

Psalm 16:4 Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more. I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods or take up their names on my lips.
When people know us as Christians, our lives become living examples of what they think Christians are to them…
If we go off the rails and support others gods and ways, then people will think we support them and their ways.
We need to stand firm in our beliefs with Christ as the head of our church!

Mark 4:33 With many similar parables Jesus spoke the word to them, as much as they could understand.
How do you show and tell people about Jesus? Do you live a life which reflects Christ?
Don’t try and get technical and try to prove Jesus is real through earthly means…
Allow Christ to show people He is real through your changed life. Lead by example!

Psalm 5:3 In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.
When you ask God things in prayer, do you wait expectantly, or just wish?
God wants us to ask things of Him with confidence, knowing He is listening and knowing He will answer!
God wants us to enjoy all He is willing to give us and wants us to know how much He cares for us...

1 King 21:27 When Ahab heard these words, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and fasted. He lay in sackcloth and went around meekly.
How do you react when you are told you are doing something wrong?
Most of us object and make a bigger scene about being told we are doing things wrong…
What would you do if Christ showed you all you are doing wrong?

Psalm 31:23 Love the Lord, all his faithful people! The Lord preserves those who are true to him, but the proud he pays back in full.
How much do you do so others will notice what you are doing?
Our modern Internet world is largely based on pride and even greed…
God is not here to fill our pride buckets; He looks after those who need Him and love Him!

Psalm 97:7 All who worship images are put to shame, those who boast in idols - worship him, all you gods!
When the apostles remind us every knee will bow, that includes the false gods and idols!
We should not be wasting our time running after things which don’t matter in the end…
Run after the one who we will all bow to alone!

Psalm 132:1 Lord, remember David and all his self-denial.
Sometimes we remember people for all the wrong things they have done instead of what they have not done!
God wants us to balance our lives and live them to give Him the glory…
Sometimes that means not doing something instead of following the crowd!

Psalm 89:26 He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, the Rock my Saviour.’
God recognises all who look to Him as God and Saviour; He upholds them too!
So many warnings about not following God are written in our bibles, it would be foolish to ignore them…
And yet so many people do ignore God’s warnings and live their own public lives without a true God!

Psalm 107:1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.
How long do you support someone who you think is doing the right things?
How long do you support someone who you think is not doing the right thing?
God shows His love and support for us even though He knows what we have done!

Psalm 85:8 I will listen to what God the Lord says; he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants - but let them not turn to folly.
When we are willing to listen to the best possible plan forward – we may just succeed!
When we listen to our pride and greed – we have no hope but in ourselves.
Let us rather hope in the one who knows it all!

Matthew 7:6 Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
How often did you share your best toys with others as a child?
How many toys can you remember being broken by others?
God wants us to share and be friendly, but also to be sensible about it too!

Psalm 119:33 Teach me, Lord, the way of your decrees, that I may follow it to the end.
What use is it to go to college or university if you are not going to use the knowledge you have gained?
The same can be said about learning about Jesus – if we do not learn from what we hear, we make it useless!
God’s Word is everything we should aim for!

Psalm 79:9 Help us, God our Saviour, for the glory of your name; deliver us and forgive our sins for your name’s sake.
Why do you call on God to help you? Is it to get you out of a spot of bother, or is it so God can get the glory?
If we are seeking personal gratification for what we do for God, we are not doing it for God!
Stop looking for personal gratification out of your work for God!

Psalm 137:4 How can we sing the songs of the Lord while in a foreign land?
What do you do with your relationship with Christ when you are on holiday?
Christ wants to be constantly in our lives and not just when we come out to church once a week!
We need to sing praises to Him no matter where we are in our lives… rejoice!
