Seeing and Acknowledging God's Works

 

Today's verse is Deuteronomy 11:7

But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did. 

    Those that Moses is speaking to have seen many great and mighty things, and in seeing them have often forgotten them the next week. Sometimes even the next day. Today, we have God’s Word which tells us not only of these works, but others as well throughout the existence of Israel as they walked with the Lord and of many of their stumbles. But we are also shown how God will work in the background so that only those that seek him diligently can see the effect he has had in their lives and those about them. Such has been this year! Have you seen God working in the lives about you? What of your own life, did you see how God was reaching out to you, reminding you that he Loves you and wants your company? If you have not seen these things, ask him now to shew himself to you, and if you diligently seek for him, he shall open your eyes as you seek out His Word, and he will give you understanding as you acknowledge him in all that you do. Amen.

Do You Hold The Scriptures Before You?

 

Today's verse is Deuteronomy 6:8

And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 

    If you were to go to Israel, or a Jewish community, you may see those that have taken this verse and obeyed it by having a box before their eyes with a verse of scripture written inside it, but neither they, nor you can see what is written within. I know that I, having placed upon my door, or upon my wall, this verse or that and have many times gone by it, without seeing it. But what is our injunction here? Is it not to do as Joshua has commanded us: This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. What good is God’s Word to us, if cannot see it? What good is it to us if we do not read it? What good is it to us if we do not think upon it? And what good is it to us if we do not obey it? Just as Israel had forgotten God and his Word, were exiled, and wandered the Earth for centuries (rather than being destroyed, for they are God’s People chosen of God) because they have forgotten his Word, so too will we come to naught, if we ignore his message to us. Therefore, let us learn of Him, Both the good and the terrible, and seek to receive his Good, which he will give freely to all that come to him on his terms, and fear his Wrath, though he be slow to show it, till he comes to set up His Kingdom on the Earth. Amen.

How To Make Your Nation Great!

 

Today's verse is Deuteronomy 4:4

But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day. 

    First, we must understand, that this statement is based upon a Promise that God had made to Joshua and Caleb, and in understanding the context, and the time it was made, we can also make application to us today. Who for the sake of Christ, may be called upon to lay down our lives for his Name’s Sake. (Have we not through him recieved life Eternal, even as Abraham, Issac and Jacob (Israel.)) For the key word in this verse is “Cleave,” which in another place has been rendered “Diligently Seek.” For we are all to cleave, or diligently seek, the Lord God who created the Heaven and the Earth and all that in them is. Now, in my Nation, MAGA (Make America Great Again) is all the rage. How should we do this? The answer can be found in these following verses: Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it. Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. Now, this promise was given to Israel under the old Covenant, but we now have a New Covenant through Jesus Christ our Lord, and any Nation that has God as their Lord can be great, as Paul said, To the Jew first, and also to the Gentile. Will you contribute to making your Nation Great? Amen.

Learning Who To Judge, And Who To Show Mercy

 

Today's verse is Psalm 36:3

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: He hath left off to be wise, and to do good. 

    Consider the testimony of Moses when God had told him that he was to destroy the Amorites and the kingdom of Bashan: Did you know that he first asked to pass peaceably through their land? He allowed them to condemn themselves, and set themselves up for destruction. In another place, in regards to Israel, we hear, And judgment is turned away backward, And justice standeth afar off: For truth is fallen in the street, And equity cannot enter. Was not Ahab condemned for giving mercy to Ben-hadad? Let us therefore, seek out the Lord our God who truly knows Judgment, and when to give Mercy, that in the season we now face we can give Grace to those that are truly Repentant, While also having Justice and Equity to all. Amen.

Are You Ready For The Second Time?

 

Today's verse is Luke 4:18-19

     The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,      

     To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 

    We have here Jesus’ statement of why he came the first time. He came for mercy, and he came for grace, that all that would, could find peace with God though his Son Jesus Christ, as he died for our sin, and rose up from the tomb to live forever more making intercession for us who have trusted in him. Yet, if you seek out that passage you will find that there is yet more to be fulfilled. For the day of vengeance of our God has yet to come about, but truly it is at hand. Let us this day therefore Kiss the Son, Lest he be angry, And ye perish from the way, When his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. Amen.

What Will You Celebrate Tomorrow?

 

Today's verse is Luke 3:6

And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. 

    Lest you may think that there are some that have no Testimony to this fact. What year is it? Whether you say 2024 AD, or 2024 CE, the count is measured from the same event, even eight days after the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of God. Who came the first time to provide for and offer all of us the Salvation that we need to be able to stand in his, and his Father’s, presence (As they have said, “He gets us!”) However, as John chided with those that came to him: “O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?” Are there any who “Gets him?” We need this redemption that he has offered, As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: of which I have been told more than once means: Jesus loves us and wants us to be saved! Tomorrow, we celebrate the birth of the Saviour that has come, Do you also celebrate the King that has yet to take his Place as the Ruler of the Whole World? Do you even now seek to conform to his expectations of you by his Spirit within you, rather than expecting him to accept you as you are with no change ever needed. Selah [Do you understand?] Amen.

The God That Moves The World, Can Move You.

 

Today's verse is Luke 2:6

     And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 

    Mary, who by the Word of God, was carrying the promised Saviour, even the Promised Son of David, the seed of the woman that was to wound the head of the Serpent, even the True King of the Jews, was not where God had said in His Word she needed to be. So, he moved the man he had set to rule the current known world to declare a mandatory movement of the People just to get Mary and Joseph where he need them to be. Now, God is the same today, as he was then, and though you are not the promised Son of God, if you have received him, You have been given the Power to become his Son, and as he has moved the world then, so will he move the world now to direct your paths, even as he had promised. So, trust that he knows all, and can get you where you need to be, when you need to be there. Amen.

How God Sees His Own

 

Today's verse is Numbers 23:21

He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, Neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: The LORD his God is with him, And the shout of a king is among them. 

    We know from reading Exodus and Numbers that God had much to accuse Israel of, for in their every step we have seen them murmur and complain, yet, just before this time, last year, I saw for the first time, that at a time when Israel had not water (again) rather than complain, It would appear that they sought out God, and he directed them to dig, and in digging they found the water God had promised them. Yet, consider this: that while we stumble often as we endeavor to walk with God, even as Israel did again after this, as we are found in Christ, God sees not us, but his Son in our stead. Therefore, take comfort, and fear (Did not Moab after this cause Israel to stumble once again) and seek out the Lord your God, Repeating and seeking his face daily that we lose not that reward he has prepared for your labours. Amen.

Speaking With Grace And Salt

 

Today's verse is Colossians 4:6

Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. 

    Remember this: Just before Paul gives this commandment, he asked that those that first read this to pray for him, that the door for him to speak that the mystery of Christ might be given to those about him, even as he was in bonds for this purpose. So also, aught we to speak to those about us, knowing that salt stings the open wound, however, it is helpful in the healing thereof. But Grace is known for its comfort and encouragement and is generally uplifting, even as our hope of Salvation through Jesus Christ. So, as Paul requested prayer for an open door of utterance, seeking God’s Wisdom on how he ought to speak, let us do likewise, and allow him [God] to speak through us that our neighbor may hear and receive the blessing God has for them in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.

Dwelling In The Word, Or Following Your Heart?

 

Today's verse is Colossians 3:16

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly bin all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 

    Compare if you are able the above to the command Moses gave to the Children of Israel: Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue: and it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the Lord, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring: that ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God. To me, it is amazing that all of that can be summed up as Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom. However, allow me to remind you again that the adage “Follow your heart” is in direct contradiction of God’s Word, for have we not been admonished by the Lord through Moses, seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, therefore, let us remember always the Word of God and to walk in them always. Amen.

What Have You Said To God?

 

Today's verse is Numbers 14:28

Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you: 

    Have you ever heard the proverb, “Be careful what you wish for, for you just might receive it?” Such is what we see here, the Children of Israel, having seen God do many mighty and wondrous things, have refused to believe God, and what he promised them. So now, according to their words he pronounces his judgment. Moses asked for them a Pardon quoting God’s Word back to him, and that Pardon was granted, but God’s Judgment also stands. Instead of destroying those that have refused to believe outright in but a moment, God spreads out what he already pronounced over the next forty years, so that those which did not believe God, would not enter into the place of promise, but by his Pardon, their children would. So, take heed to what you have to say to the Lord your God, he just might hear you and take you at your word. Just as he wants you to do with his. Amen.

How To Bear Your Burden.

 

Today's verse is Numbers 11:14

I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me. 

    Have you ever felt that God has asked too much from you? Well, fret not, because he has! But not because he expects you to do all of it, but because he wants you to learn to depend upon him, has not Paul said, but our sufficiency is of God! And if you pay attention to the context, you will find that this burden was not a burden for Moses to bear alone, for as Moses’ father-in-law had counseled, so also did God command Moses to appoint leaders over the Children of Israel to share the burden. Just as we that are in Christ, are all members of the same body, and each of us have our own function in the body, having gifts from the Spirit according to the office God has appointed us. So, do you know what God has set before you? If not, be patient, be faithful to what you do know, and he will show you what he has for you, and when you do, rely fully upon him, and in due course, he will provide fellow labours, to walk with you till the work is done. Amen.

Today's verse is Hebrews 13:5

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 

    So, there is no doubt of what is covetousness, and to what we ought to be content with, we have our Saviour’s Words: Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? . . . For your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. Of this I will again testify, that unless I had chosen to fast, (Purpose, or happenstance) I have not gone an entire day without eating since I have known my Saviour. Therefore, as we have this Promise: Jesus said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee, let us continue to Trust in the Lord with all our heart, for he will see us through this day, even as he had seen us through yesterday.

The Right Response To Chastening

 

Today's verse is Hebrews 12:6

     For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 

    There are those when they hear of the doctrine “Once saved always saved” they mock and suppose that once Saved we are free to do as we will, remaining in our sin with impunity. As we see in this verse, this is not so, for when we sin, God sees, and is displeased, for he can have no part in sin. Have we not been warned: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. As children of God by the virtue of receiving the One God had sent, this law is fulfilled by our chastening. Therefore, when we are chastened, let us not complain, but repent, and remember that we expect our Saviour to return, and as we hope in this, let us purify ourselves even as he is pure. And as we work out our Salvation with fear and trembling, Remember that it is God which worketh in you both to will and do of his good pleasure. Amen.

God Will Deal With The Lies Of The Wicked

 

Today's verse is Psalm 64:7

     But God shall shoot at them with an arrow;

      Suddenly shall they be wounded.

    First, let us discover who it is that God will shoot. Even the wicked, speaking bitter words, shoot such things against those that David calls perfect, seeking for any imperfection, even iniquities, that they need not put any weight of their testimony, making light of their deeds that the fear of God might just be made to be naught. And though we know by God’s Word he will give them their day, until then, from time to time, he will bring each of them to account that all can see that he is God, that all should Fear and give all the Glory to God. So, until that day, fear them not, but fear God with whom we all have to do, and speak with boldness the Truth he has revealed to you, building upon it to increase your understanding in all Righteousness and Holiness unto God and his Son, who died and rose up that you might be found in him. And maybe, just maybe, they hearing will hear, and seeing will perceive that Great God and Saviour before the day of destruction visits them. Amen.

Seeing Our Desire Upon Our Enemies

 

Today's verse is Psalm 112:8

     His heart is established, he shall not be afraid,

      Until he see his desire upon his enemies.

    Over the last few years, truly I had much fear in my heart, for I saw what things my God hates appear to flourish, even as declared by some; There is no fear of God before their eyes! But, as I continued to read God’s Word, I was continually reminded that he was still in control, and all these things that were happening he has foretold. Now, consider the second part of the above verse, and let us consider God’s desire upon his enemies. First, he is gracious, for we have been told; he is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But still there will be those that refuse him, of such there is this warning: What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction[.] Therefore, so much the more, let us remember what The Saviour did, For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. How can we that have recieved such a Salvation desire any less for our neighbours. Amen.

So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

As sure as Christ came the first time, that all that will may have life eternal by trusting in his taking their place upon the Cross, that they may, yea, will be, forgiven of God for all their waywardness and sin against an Holy God, so then will he come again, even as he has promised to set up his Kingdom, when we shall see the redemption of our Bodies when we shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. 

    And what is the sacrifice that this High Priest after the order of Melchisedec, Jesus, had made? It is recorded for us a little bit later: Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood [the lamb of God] he entered once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. Notice now these words: “once” and “eternal,” no longer will we need to make sacrifice for redemption, nor for the covering of sins, for Christ Jesus has himself finished this work for us forever. Amen. Therefore, let us consider our new debt: He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. Knowing now, that you are secure in him, will you submit to him, and his will, walking with him according to his way, found in his Word, that you might be found in him pleasing to the Father, when you appear before him.

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. So, will you come, will you place your Trust, your Hope in him? Will you seek to walk with him, whether reviled or praised by those that see you with him? Yea, even as they see Him in you!

    When considering this verse, we must ask, “Where does shame come from?” When we see Adam and Eve, they were not ashamed until they had eaten of that tree that was forbidden. Therefore, we can conclude that shame comes from sin, from disobedience to the Father, even the one that Created us. So that, when we begin to walk with him, stumbling as we might, placing our trust, even our confidence in him, allowing him to conform us into the image of his Son, Truly we shall have nothing to be ashamed of, being delivered by him unto His Righteousness.

All Of God's Works Are True And Of Righteous Judgment.

 

Today's verse is Psalm 111:7

     The works of his hands are verity and judgment;

    Before I continue, Yea, before I start, Know this first: the last verse of this Psalm is, The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: A good understanding have all they that do his commandments: His praise endureth for ever. (Underlined emphasis mine.) Those that glorify not God as God would point to those things that we call Tragedy (The Holocaust, wars, the untimely, or even the timely, death of a loved one) as proof that God is unjust. Who are you that repliest against God? Know you not, That God, that created all things, including you, is by definition: Always Right? Who among us can truly say, “I am innocent! I have done no wrong!” Not me, and God says not you either! (If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.) Therefore, let this be our premise, yea, our foundation: The works of his hands are verity and judgment; /All his commandments are sure. And since we are to do his commandments let this one be our start: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Today's verse is Psalm 110:1

     The LORD said unto my Lord,

      Sit thou at my right hand,

      Until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

    Today, I wish to offer you a challenge, even the same challenge that Jesus gave the Pharisees in his day. They, themselves, understood that Christ, that is the Messiah, should be the Son of David. Yet, Jesus asked them How then doth David in spirit call him Lord quoting the passage provided above, finishing with this question, If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? When I asked one that denied the deity of Christ, she proceeded to show how Jesus was descended from David, missing the point of the question. For Christ was indeed the Son of David, yet also the root of Jessie, David’s father. How so? While I will not give you the answer outright, here is the underlying premise of the question: Who is the lord, the father or the son? And God [the spirit] cannot lie. Selah [Find the Answer!] Amen.

Unbelief Is A Choice!

 

Today's verse is Hebrews 3:19

So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

    The testimony of God’s Word is clear: The heavens declare the glory of God; /And the firmament sheweth his handywork. /Day unto day uttereth speech, /And night unto night sheweth knowledge. /There is no speech nor language, /Where their voice is not heard. And again, in another place, Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse[.] So God, who cannot lie, has testified in his Word, that no man needs his Word to know that God is. And once we have discovered God’s Word, there is abundant evidence in it that God knows the end from the beginning, given any who is honest clear proof that God has spoken to us in it. Therefore, unbelief comes not from a lack of evidence, but by a choice. Selah [Which choice have you made?] Amen.

The Importance Of Salt

 

Today's verse is Leviticus 2:13

And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt. 

    First, a meat offering, is not of an animal, as would be commonly understood today, but it is of fine flour, even unleavened bread, or wafers. But we are looking at the necessity of Salt. Jesus Christ has called himself the bread of life, but he has called us who have been identified in him as Salt. Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Now we know that salt as two purposes. It adds, or enhances, flavor, and it also preserves. So, let us not be silent, but boldly claim our Lord’s goodness in thanksgiving, that our neighbours might see the goodness of the Lord that they might be preserved from his wrath which shall come when he removes the Salt from the earth. Amen.

And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. 

    The world we live in, yea the whole universe is finite, temporary even, as said in an other place that the whole creation groans and travails in pain, even until now, just as we that Know Jesus Christ also does till we see the adoption, even the redemption of our body, when we shall be changed, and as we shall be changed, so too the heavens and the earth as testified here. But God, even Jesus Christ changes not, for he is the same, yesterday, today, and forever. He is the same one that rescued Lot as he destroyed Sodom and its surrounding cities. He is the same that Jonah disobeyed and was chastened, even as he spared Nineveh because they repented at Jonah’s simple warning.

The Correct Response To God's Word

 

Today's verse is Exodus 35:1

And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the LORD hath commanded, that ye should do them. 

    And Jesus, quoting scripture said, it is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. And have we not been told, For thou [God] hast magnified thy word above all thy name. But there is one that came in the beginning saying, Yea, hath God said. . .? Of which of these do you hold to? Do you, having found God’s Word, treasure it, seeking to understand and obey it, keeping it dear to your heart and mind? Or do you allow questions to arise of its veracity, allowing these things to cause you to question God himself and what he requires of you? Know now, even as he is the author of it (All scripture is given by inspiration [literally: God Breathed] of God, and holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.) so also has he (not us) preserved it. (The words of the Lord are pure words: /As silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. /Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, /Thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.) So, knowing what God has commanded, will you do them? Amen.

The Power Of Knowing God's Promises

 

Today's verse is Exodus 32:13

Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. 

    The Children of Israel have sinned, and their sin was great, and God was shewing Moses that he was willing to unleash his wrath; to what did Moses resort to appease the Lord? Even the promise that God had made unto Abraham, to Issac, and to Israel! It was not the worthiness of the people, but the promise that God had made, that stayed his hand. Just as the children of Israel were not worthy, so also us, but even as God was appeased by his promise to Abraham, so also can we approach him though the promises God has made to us through his Son, and by his Son, we can come to him, for through him and him alone can his anger be assuaged. Do you know any of his promises? Amen.

Putting On The Mind Of Christ

 

Today's verse is Philippians 2:3

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 

    As I was reading today, I had cause to consider the angels, that they each had their station, and those angels that still serve God, they are content where they are at, even as Paul testifies whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. Those that are in the world are constantly seeking to “climb the corporate ladder.” This is not to be our aim, nor goal, but to serve our God, and our brothers and sisters in Christ, that he in us might be magnified and lifted up, and if he sees fit to lift one of us up, that the greatest of us, is the servant to all. Amen.
