Good Word for Today!

The Lord Be With You Today! Deuteronomy 7:19 You saw with your own eyes the great trials, the signs and wonders, the mighty Hand and outstretched Arm, with which the Lord your God brought you out. (God's people faced a new land the Lord had promised them as their new home, but what they saw before them terrified and overwhelmed them because they were assessing the situation through their own abilities, much the same as we do when we face difficult situations. But the Lord reminds them and us to stop and remember, to recall what the Lord has earlier accomplished when they and we were living in impossible situations. The Lord has set up a faith account for us in our memories of His great wonders, and He reminds us to take stock of the many bank deposits of His deliverance and victory that He has performed on our behalf and that are already credited to our faith account.) The Lord your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear. (The Lord not only had earlier delivered His people from the bondage of slavery and the powerful Egyptian empire, but He also had given them victory over Pharaoh and His mighty army. Now, He says He will perform the same kind of wonders as they confront and drive out the people in the Land of Promise. What an encouragement the Lord is giving us today, that we don't have to fear what lies before us. He reminds us today that His Arm is still outstretched to us, that He extends His mighty Hand to us to help us fight against the forces of darkness that inhabit the land to which the Lord has led us, to drive them out of our lives, and to gain victory over them.) 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 7:17-18 You may say to yourselves, "These nations are stronger than we are. How can we drive them out?" (The Israelites were poised to enter the Promised Land and, seeing the powerful inhabitants who already lived there, felt overwhelmed at the task the Lord had laid before them, to defeat these enemies and to drive them out of the land that the Lord had promised to them. In the same way, we also often face seemingly overwhelming situations that appear daunting and insurmountable to us, questioning how we can accomplish the task before us or how we can survive and endure the challenges before us. Just like the Israelites, when we fall into that trap, we are focusing on our own strength instead of on the Lord and on His plans and purposes for us.) But do not be afraid of them; remember well what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt. (The Sovereign Lord reminds us not to look to our own devices, to our own strength, to our own abilities and resources, but to look to Him Who is the Great I AM and Who has spoken the truth over us that we will not only survive the situation, but that we will conquer it and be victorious in it, that He Himself will give us dominance. The situation does not win. His truth reigns. He reminds us to remember all that He has already done for us, that He has delivered us out of the power of the full array of the crippling bondage of Egypt and into His freedom and salvation and victory. He still delivers us today into His truths over us and into His plans for us.) May the Lord richly bless you this day! In Christ's love, Blessings! Sally 513 254 3874
