This person also taught a class of children at his church and suddenly the thought hit him while he was drinking: “What if the children from my church class come into this bar and see me in this situation?” He finally took the issue to God in prayer and this scripture helped him to see that he might be causing other Christians to stumble. He stopped drinking. He started going to weekly Bible studies and grew stronger in Jesus’ authority to say NO in Jesus’ name to all sin temptations.

Inspiration: I was brought up to go to church weekly but the only time I praised God was during that one hour service. Later on, after I had committed my life to Jesus, I found that my walk with God was seven days a week and not just one hour a week at the church service. My music used to be all secular but God gave me a love for praise music. In this maturing process, I now see how this psalm says to bless and praise God at all times.

Inspiration: A church leader taught on unforgiveness. His teaching explained that when you did not forgive someone, you actually keep them a prisoner in your mind so you are the one who is tormented and not them. By simply asking forgiveness, you let that person go free, out of the prison of your mind where you were holding them, and thus you are the one who is set free.
