Good Word for Today!

The Lord Be With You Today! Deuteronomy 4:1b  Follow them so that you may live and may go in and take possession of the land the Lord, the God of your ancestors, is giving you. (The Lord promises His people, when they listen, when they obey His commandments, they will be able to live out the call of God on their lives and successfully possess the land to which He has led them. By following His Word, His ways, He helps us walk into the inheritance He has given us. He invites us to go in and possess that inheritance and to strip away the power of, to dispossess, the situations that would prevent us from fulfilling His destiny for us. His requirements and commandments are not for His benefit, but for ours. He knows we will be most successful and productive when we learn of Him and then when we obey His ways. He invites us today to first hear and then to obey so He can give us possession of the situations confronting us and over which He has promised us victory.) May the Lord richly bless you this day! In Christ's love, Blessings! Sally 513 254 3874

Good Word for Today!

The Lord Be With You Today! Deuteronomy 4:1a Now, Israel, hear the decrees and laws (Camped near the edge of the Promised Land and near the end of their God-led journey, after Moses had reminded God's people of the extraordinary and supernatural interventions that He had made on their behalf, now Moses admonishes them to hear what the Lord requires of them. When Moses asks the people to hear, he is asking them not only to listen, but also to hear in such a way that their hearing leads to obedience. The Lord is also calling us to listen to Him and to obey the statues, those decrees regarding our worship and service to the Lord, and the judgments, those decrees regarding our responsibilities to each other and how we treat each other. He calls us to be willing to seek Him so we know His expectations.) I am about to teach you. (Obedience requires hearing and learning God's expectations. The Lord has not left us in the dark about His requirements. He has carefully given us detailed information in His Word about what His ways and His grace provide for us, and He promises to instruct us in His ways by prodding us to "exercise in" what He says, to be trained so that we become skilled and gain expertise in following Him. As we seek Him and learn from Him, His teaching trains and equips us to follow His Word.) May the Lord richly bless you this day! In Christ's love, Blessings! Sally 513 254 3874

Good Word for Today!

The Lord Be With You Today! Deuteronomy 3:22 "Do not be afraid of them; (The Lord tells His people not to fear the kings arrayed against them who lie between them and their promised destination. The meaning behind God's command not to fear what is before them is that, if they fear it, they are giving it reverence. When we choose to think thoughts that lead to feelings of fear, we are denying the power and truth of Who God says He is. He tells us emphatically that we are not to be afraid of what lies before us, no matter how powerful it seems. In fact, the King James version words the phrase this way: you shall not fear them. The Lord is giving His people and us a strong command that we shall not yield to fear.) the Lord your God Himself will fight for you." (Then He says why His people don't have to fear. In the Hebrew, the meaning is that God declares a vow to them and us in a forceful, resounding, uncompromising, and commanding manner that He Himself will go before us to fight for us. When we really stand on the truth of this declaration, how can we fall into the foolishness and wasted emotion of fear. Here is why we don't have to fear today. These are only some of God's attributes identified through His very Own Names: Yahweh, the I AM WHO I AM; El Shaddai, the Lord God Almighty and All-Powerful One; Elohim, the Only Sovereign God With Incredible and Endless Power and Might; El Elyon, the God Most High, the One Who Reigns Supreme; Jehovah Nissi, the Lord Is My Banner and Victory Who Protects, Leads, and Delivers; Jehovah Sabaoth, the Lord of Hosts and Ruler Over All; Jehovah Jireh, the Lord Will Provide All My Needs. How can we possibly sink to fear when we look to the LORD Who is a personal, covenant-making God Who Has Made Covenant With Us.) May the Lord richly bless you this day! In Christ's love, Blessings!
