Mar 20th What a great day to read. Hope all is well in your space and all you have is in order, neat, tidy, clean and appreciated. It is good to take time to be Holy and grateful for all we have from The Lord.
Numbers30:1-31:54 tells us about being careful what we say about what we are going to do for God. Emphasis is placed on family unity, authority and responsability. We learn that the enemies of God and His people are destined for destruction. God hates SIN but loves the sinner. God's plan of stewardship is fair,just and applicable in all circumstances. What makes strewardship a joy is when the participants do it freely and from a willing heart. He gives that we may give.
Luke 4:1-32 tells us that"they" were astonished at his doctrine. Consider that no man saw Jesus being tempted, yet GOD breathed on (inspired) and caused holy men of God to speak as they were moved of God to write the truth that you and I read and believe.When we see how Satan, the Devil, tempted Jesus and how He used the Scriptures from Deuteronomy in the Old Testament. We can learn survival techneques and the proper use of God's promises and truth when we are tempted. It is good for us to see this temptation event because it gives us assurances that Jesus was tempted in all circunstances as we are, but He sinned not. When Jesus preached in the synagogue in Nazareth His style and mannerism I want to copy in that He read the Scriptures, sat down and began to teach. Look at verse 21 and let this truth impact your concept of God. He is always kind, truthful and honest with His audience.
Psalm 63:1-11 What do you look for when you seek GOD early? Selah. What makes you praise The Lord? When you meditate, what do you meditate upon? Why do you read?
Proverbs 11:20-21 tells us how to be pleasing to God and what happens to the unjust. Hopefully we will pay attention to these remarks made by God and walk with Him daily. When we read to know Him it will cause a change in our conversation. pj
