  NKJV Key Verse: Psalm 119:59 I thought about my ways, And turned my feet to Your testimonies.

  Psalm 119:59: I have considered my ways and turned my feet back to your testimonies.

  When you have a rule book or instruction manual and continue to follow it, you tend to get things done in the right way... But when you start to guess your own ways instead of following the instructions, things go astray!

  God wants us to be safe and secure, which means we should be following his instruction at all times.

  Our bibles are those instructions and we should be consulting them all the time - not putting it aside and seeing how we get on without the law!

  When we know the right way through instructions, we can follow those ways easier than if we do not!

  NKJV Key Verse: Psalm 119:5 Oh, that my ways were directed To keep Your statutes!

  Psalm 119:5: O that my ways were made so direct that I might keep your statutes.

  If we had ears which could tell us what is right and what is not, we would be able to listen to the truth and right stuff all the time... but we don't!

  We are always being faced by temptations because our hearts and minds tell us everything but the truth!

  God has given us our bibles as the ultimate guide book to be able to identify what is righteous...

  But we still have to read it and make decisions on our own! He will not prevent us from making wrong decisions if we really want to!

  NKJV Key Verse: Proverbs 3:18 She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, And happy are all who retain her.

  Proverbs 3:18: She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called happy.

  Sometimes we lack a bit of intuition or wisdom. Sometimes we lack common sense completely!

  God will always be willing and ready to teach us wisdom when we are willing to stop and ask him for direction!

  God does have a mean sense of humour and may well place us in position where we are very uncomfortable - so we can learn and others can learn from what he teaches us.

  I have spent far more time in difficult situations than I wish to remember, but I know God has always been trying to guide me well throughout!

  NKJV Key Verse: Jonah 4:6 And the Lord God prepared a plant and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be shade for his head to deliver him from his misery. So Jonah was very grateful for the plant.

  Jonah 4:6: The Lord God appointed a bush, and made it come up over Jonah, to give shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort; so Jonah was very happy about the bush.

  Have you ever stopped to wonder at all the things God has done for you behind the scenes? Have you ever thanked him properly for all he is doing?

  Too often we get upset with God because our goals are constantly changing and we expect him to change with our goals instead of fulfilling what we agreed with him to start with, or what we asked of him.

  God does not go back on his word, but we seem to chop and change our views with the wind! We change our minds. We go back on what we agreed. We fall short of the mark...

  But when we stop to look at what God has done, we may well see he has fulfilled what he said in the beginning!
