Good Word for Today!

The Lord Be With You Today! Deuteronomy 10:20-21 Fear the Lord your God and serve Him. Hold fast to Him and take your oaths in His Name. (The Lord calls us to know Who He is, that because of Who He is, and because we come to be in utter awe of His dreadful power, to revere Him, to obediently serve Him, to cling tightly to Him, to join ourselves inextricably to Him, to make everything we do and say pleasing to Him, and to charge ourselves to live life in covenant with Him.) He is the One you praise; He is your God, Who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes. (Like the Israelites who saw first-hand the mighty works of God on their behalf as He led them out of the slavery of their Egyptian bondage, when we remember Who He is and all that He has done, when we recall what life would be like without Him as Lord of our life, we know that this God is no human-sized god of our own making. Then we also call to mind the places in our own lives where He has intervened, where He has rescued, where He has delivered, where He has provided, where He has healed and restored, where He has revealed Himself, where He has saved us from external circumstances which we may or may not have caused, and where He has saved us from our own internal, self-destructive tendencies to which we have yielded control. Because of His interactions in our past and because of His loving plans for today and for our future, He is, indeed, the One to Whom we give our praise today and Who we remember is our God.) 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 10:18-19 He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing. (God extends His extraordinary mercy and grace, which, in real terms to us, are His compassion and unmerited favor, to the least of us, to those who may well be ignored by others. Not only does He care for the less fortunate, but He defends them and advocates for them with the same passion that He revealed by implementing His salvation plan for us. At the same time that He is impartial and righteous Judge for us, He gives us favor and becomes our Father and Bridegroom and makes us fully-recognized residents of His Kingdom.) And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt. (The Lord calls us to model His merciful and grace-filled example by offering kindness and generosity to those around us, including those who are still foreign to the community and family of God. As the Israelites were once held in Egypt, as we ourselves were once in bondage and captivity and were led to freedom through God's intervention in our lives, those today who still remain foreigners to the Lord's salvation need for us to show them the way of escape through God's love, a love that He extends to them through us.) May the Lord richly bless you this day! In Christ's love, Blessings! Sally 513 254 3874
