"The Angel of The Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and He delivereth them. O taste and see that The Lord is good; blessed is the man that trusteth in Him." Psalms 34:7-8
Try Him, you'll like Him, in fact, He's so good that you'll love Him. He can protect you from all hurt, harm, and danger, seen and unseen.

God Sees All That We Do And Judgement Is Coming
"For the ways of man are before the eyes of The Lord, and He pondereth all his goings." Proverbs 5:21
Some people say, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." It is as if they believe that God is not there and that He does not see all that goes on in Las Vegas and everywhere else. That which is done in the dark will soon come to the light.
Imagine a video camera being focused upon you, 24 hours each day, 365 days of the year. Would you want that recording played back to all of your family and friends in church, especially if it included all that you said and thought?
On judgement day, Jesus is going to judge each of us on all of our thoughts, words, and deeds. Read Matthew 12:36-37 and Revelation 20:12-13. Repent now and ask for forgiveness for all sins, and pray for help to avoid them in the future.

Show Us The Way
Prayer is powerful. We should begin and end each day with prayer, and it is okay to pray multiple times during the day. The following prayer of David is a good way to start the day.
"Shew me Thy ways, O Lord; teach me Thy paths. Lead me in Thy truth, and teach me; for Thou art The God of my salvation; on Thee do I wait all the day." Psalms 25:4-5
We won't go wrong with God showing us the way, leading us, and teaching us. We need His help to do a better job of following His lead.

Watch Your Words
Watch what you say, before you speak, pray this prayer, or something just like it.
"Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer." Psalms 19:14
We really ought to be much more careful regarding the words that we speak. Even what we think should be pleasing to God. We will be judged by not only that which we do, but also by what we say and think. (Read Matthew 12:36-37 & Matthew 5:28 & Proverbs 23:7)
When you pray, ask for forgiveness for sinful deeds, spoken words, and thoughts.

Want To Gain Favor With God?
"... Forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments; For length of days, long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee; bind them about thy neck ... So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man." Proverbs 3:1-4
A peaceful, long life and God's favour, that should make any Christian happy. You too can enjoy these blessings, all you have to do is believe and follow The Word of God.
If we keep God's word in our heart and on our mind, and have mercy and truth become a part of us so that we demonstrate acts of loving-kindness, we will have favour in the sight of God.

The Apocalypse
The Book of Revelation is probably the most difficult Book of The Bible to understand. It is The New Testament book of prophesy. It is written by a first century man presenting things revealed to him that are to come in the twenty-first century (or later), the apocalypse, the end of days.
There is a blessing in store for all who read, not necessarily understand, the Book of Revelation for it is full of symbols.
"Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy..." Revelation 1:3
To the believers, it teaches about the folly of living for things that will soon pass away. To the unbeliever, it offers a warning of doom that awaits all who reject Jesus Christ.

God Is Love
"Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love." 1 John 4:7-8
God is the essence of love. All of us who are born again receive God's nature. This is not a reference to mere human love or lust, but the highest and ultimate form of agape love which is spiritual not physical.
Let us show the world the God in us by demonstrating love for one another. Jesus said, "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." John 13:35
