  NKJV Key Verse: Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things.

  Philippians 4:8: Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

  Isn't it amazing Christ is going to speak up for us at the end of times! But what sort of things do you think he will have to admit to?

  This verse reminds us of our duty, not just to love the Lord and our neighbours, but to try and do what is righteous - to aim to do the will of God in our lives.

  This verse has so many little things we ought to be aiming for - and yet they are small things in our lives...

  Do it for Christ!

• Day -1

  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 thing we do not think of much is how God knows us from the inside out. Every thing about us, our thoughts, our deeds, our imaginations: God knows it all.

  There is nothing we can hide from him, and yet he still chooses to love us for all eternity.

  No matter how far we get from God - or at least how far we think we get - he is there with us, watching over us and willing us to do what is righteous.

  Try to stop for a while and listen out for him...

• Day -2

  NKJV Key Verse: Psalm 117:2 For His merciful kindness is great toward us, And the truth of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord!

  Psalm 117:2: For great is his steadfast love towards us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures for ever. Alleluia.

  This is a lovely small Psalm, probably written down just to praise God for something which had gone right for a change!

  If we want to be able to live more of our lives with words like these on our tongues, then we have to seek out the truth and live by the truth - that way we are never caught out by lies, be them from yourself or from other people!

  God loves us. That is the truth. But he also wants us to love like him, without borders, without limit and always supporting all that is holy and the truth!

• Day -3

  NKJV Key Verse: Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;

  Psalm 1:1: Blessed are they who have not walked in the counsel of the wicked, nor lingered in the way of sinners, nor sat in the assembly of the scornful.

  When I begin to read this Psalm, I am always reminded of the story of Job in the bible. He was a man who stood up for all that was right and praise God no matter what was happening in his life.

  The friends around him were choosing to live their lives according to their own rules instead of what God was asking of them. They imposed their own limitation on what was the truth so they could live the way they wanted to live!

  God simply wants us to listen to him, and to obey him because he is the only one who actually knows what is best for our lives and for the people around us.

  If we all lived our lives as God wants us to, the world would be an amazing place to live in!
