  NKJV Key Verse: Psalm 139:1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. O Lord, You have searched me and known me.

  Psalm 139:1: O Lord, you have searched me out and known me; you know my sitting down and my rising up; you discern my thoughts from afar.

  One of the things I am most comforted by is that God actually knows me, probably better than I do!

  He has a watchful eye over me at all times and when I sense danger I know I can call out to him, not just for comfort but for protection.

  Most often than not he has already done something before I call out to him and that is what sets our God apart from all the other things people call gods.

  God is not a tyrant ruling with an iron fist and beating us into submission; but a loving God watching out for us to keep us as safe as we allow him to!

  NKJV Key Verse: Psalm 119:10 With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!

  Psalm 119:10: With my whole heart have I sought you; O let me not go astray from your commandments.

  One of the bad things about living in a bad area or amongst bad people is that you get exposed to so many bad things that you begin to accept certain things as being normal.

  I use 'bad' in a very broad way because we all have different definitions of what bad is - because we all grow up in different areas and are exposed to different things!

  God wants us to realise we can get carried away with the things going on around us, so the easiest way to not get involved is to stay away from those things...

  But that is not so easy because we live in a world where there are so many different things and experiences.

  NKJV Key Verse: Psalm 6:4 Return, O Lord, deliver me! Oh, save me for Your mercies' sake!

  Psalm 6:4: Turn again, O Lord, and deliver my soul; save me for your loving mercy’s sake.

  One thing we do need to remember is the food that we get for our souls is not coming because we are righteous or holy, but because God loves us!

  When we feel apart from God we often think of it as God turning away from us because of our sin or because we have done something wrong.

  God does not turn his back on us unless we continually reject him; then we are not giving him a choice but to turn away from us.

  Even if we have a glimmer of doubt, God will wait for us to turn back to him.

  NKJV Key Verse: Psalm 5:8 Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; Make Your way straight before my face.

  Psalm 5:8: Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness, because of my enemies; make your way straight before my face.

  What is the best way to make something you have never made before? Is it not to follow the instructions of someone who has made that before?

  Recipe books are there so others can learn how to make or cook new foods. Medical journals are there for doctors and nurses to be able to help more sick people.

  The bible is here for us to learn from and to follow. All of the above are not just suggestions of how to do things but instruction methods for us to get it right!

  It is up to you whether you follow the instruction of those who have gone before us or make things up for yourself.
