Jordan River - Israel |
Moses was speaking to the Israelites before
he died…before they crossed the Jordan River into the Promised Land. God had
once again told Moses to remind the Israelites that they were His chosen
people…a treasure possession… and that they should keep His commandments. Jesus
told His disciples and us that we should keep His commandments.
If you love Me, you will keep My
commandments. John 14:15 NASB
We honor the Father and Jesus when we keep
the commandments…but without His love and grace, that is impossible to do.
Yet….I can do everything through Christ, who
gives me strength. Philippians 4:13. Do we need a reminder that…nothing is impossible with God."
Luke 1:37? God gives us strength to be obedient…His grace is sufficient for us
all…we just need to look to Him and ask for His help. I know that when I try to
do things on my own, it never turns out as well as if I ask God for His help.
He is my source of inspiration, wisdom and creativity.
Does God see you as His treasured possession? Do you
rely on Him to guide you through all things in your life?
Prayer
~ Lord…I trust that You do see me as a Christian—devoted to You. Only through
You can I do all things because You give me strength…as well as wisdom and
creative ideas. You spark my heart to know when to speak…and when to be quiet.
Thanks. I continually need more help everyday with that “when to be quiet” part
of my life.
