Psalm 78:4: We will not hide from their children, but will recount to generations to come, the praises of the Lord and his power and the wonderful works he has done.
Have you ever considered the simple things like 'how do we learn?' We learn from others; when they tell us the truth, we learn something new.
How much of an impact would it make on someone else's life if you were able to tell them all you know about Jesus. That may be very little or it could be 'volumes' of information.
The more we share the Gospel with others the more other people will be able to hear about the good news.
This does not mean we have to stand on the street corner and shout about Jesus - that may be effective in some areas but it could turn a community against you in others.
Psalm 77:4: You will not let my eyelids close; I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
Have you ever tossed and turned in bed just because you had an argument with someone earlier?
God does not want us to carry round all the baggage of arguments and the like in our lives. He has told us to cast our burdens on him...
If we do not try to offload our problems, we are going to find the load of those problems growing heavier and heavier each minute; but as soon as we are able to offload them, our shoulders can start to relax once again.
Jesus was very serious about us letting go of all the trash in our lives; he wants us to live lives filled with love and joy!
Psalm 119:67: Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep your word.
What do you focus on in your life? Are you focused on the world around you? Are you focused on the person next to you? Or are you docused on Jesus?
If we are truely looking to Christ all the time, we most likely will be doing the things we think he wants of us, but focusing on the world makes us look for answers from the world instead.
Aim to get all of your answers from the one who does know all the answers otherwise you will be getting answers from people instead of from God!
Psalm 85:8: I will listen to what the Lord God will say, for he shall speak peace to his people and to the faithful, that they turn not again to folly.
Can you think back to the time when being a Christian started to make sense, or when you chose to become a Christian?
How many times have you turned away from your Christian ways in one way or another since then? I don't think I can count that high!
God waits paitiently for us to come back to him and to turn back to doing things the way he would like us to - after all he does know what is best for us, but still gives us free will!
The more we get used to doing things as God guides us, the more we will avoid the pitfall of the ways we used to live!
