Keep My Commands

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Deuteronomy 6

Worship song: I command my soul

 


Meditation:

    God established His covenant with the Israelites and gave them specific instructions regarding the keeping of His statutes and His commandments. Moses emphasized the need for the Israelites to love the Lord with all their heart and keep His laws in their hearts if they want to enter the Promised Land and enjoy the blessings that await them. They were to observe and do the will of God and love the Lord God with all their heart, soul, and with all their might. 

    In obedience to the law, they were advised to forget not the Lord that brought them out of bondage, live a godly life, teach the word of God diligently to their children, and proclaim it in their household and wherever they go. The precepts of the Lord should be observed and instilled in our children to guide them and bring them up in the admonition of the Lord. As Moses emphasized to the Israelites the importance of keeping the Lord's command, we should also do likewise. It is of utmost importance that we love and obey the Lord, lest we miss the promised land that Jesus has gone to prepare for us. Love the Lord with all your heart, in all you do acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.

Let us pray:

    Almighty God, everlasting Father, I give thee thanks, O God, for the reminder to love the Lord with all our heart and soul. Lord, we acknowledge our failure to align our lives with Your holy laws, and ask for Your mercy and guidance to walk in them now. Heavenly Father, we confess that our generation has neglected the command to diligently instruct our children in Your ways, failing to make Your truths the central conversation in our homes and daily lives. We have failed, O God, to minister to our households and impress into their hearts the word of God. Father, most of us are guilty of not spreading the gospel wherever we go. Heavenly Father, we now commit to walk in all your ways, to love and serve you with all our heart and soul, and to keep your commandments through the directive of the Holy Spirit. Father, we seek to walk closely with You. As we strive to teach Your statutes to our children, please give us the discernment to do so with understanding and with a heart that is fully surrendered to Your will in the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.

Wishing you peace and safety. ✌💕🙏

Actions Have Consequences

Good morning Scripture reading: 2 Samuel 1 Worship song:  Who God Says I Am   Meditation:      The Amalekite’s fabricated account of taking Saul's life in battle was an attempt to present himself as a hero in David's eyes. He was likely aware of Saul's relentless pursuit of David and therefore presumed that David would rejoice over his death and reward him. Rather than celebrate, David responded with genuine grief, mourning for King Saul whom he esteemed as the Lord's anointed. By claiming to have killed Saul to win David's favor, the Amalekite sealed his own fate and was executed for confessing to the crime.       We are instructed in Ephesians 4:25 to put away lying and speak the truth one to another, recognizing that persistent liars face eternal condemnation. Proverbs 12:22 makes it clear that lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who speak truth are his delight. The Lord hates a lying tongue and a false witness....

It Flows For Me

Good morning Scripture reading: Hebrews 9 Worship song: Unworthy of the Blood   Meditation:      Throughout biblical history, the shedding of blood has been directly connected to atonement, emphasizing the severe consequences of sin and the costly price of redemption. Unlike the old covenant, which required continuous blood sacrifices to temporarily cover sin, the New Covenant offered a one-time sacrificial offering through the blood of Jesus, providing a permanent cleansing that removes the stain of sin and maintains ongoing purity. Both the old and new covenants emphasize that sin causes separation and requires a sacrifice of life to restore fellowship with God.       Jesus' declaration in Matthew 26:28 clearly affirms that His death establishes a new promise, replacing the old rituals with a complete forgiveness that washes away the sins of all who believe. We are redeemed not with corruptible things, but with the precious blood of Ch...

Letting Go And Let God

Good morning Scripture reading: 1 Peter 5: 6-7 Worship song: Take Me Back   Meditation:      When faced with difficulties or a pressing issue we cannot resolve, we tend to become agitated and unsettled. The inability to change a situation immediately leads to worry, anxiety, and frustration. We often forget that God is fully aware of our situations and has the power to change them. By placing our trust in Almighty God rather than our own strength, we unlock divine, boundless potential that far exceeds our highest hopes or requests. God is powerful enough to do exceedingly, abundantly more than we can ever ask or think.       When we trust God and seek his divine power and use the spiritual authority He has given us, we can command our obstacles to move, and they will. Today, if you are faced with a burning issue, let go and let God. When you are faced with a challenging circumstance, be still, knowing that God is capable. Cast your cares...

Words can Either Bless or curse

Good morning Scripture reading: James 3: 5-12 Worship song: Ancient Words   Meditation:      James, a servant of God, while observing the behavioral trend of those around him, realized that their tongue is a very unruly member of the body and cannot be tamed. The words that proceed out of the mouth are cause for concern, as the effective power of words can uplift and then later tear down what they have erected. This operation of the tongue acts contrary to the will of God and is therefore deemed unacceptable. Words can be a lethal weapon, powerful enough to damage the character of others, stir up anger, condemn, curse, and destroy the spirit and self-esteem of those around us. Likewise, the tongue can also be used to build, uplift, motivate, comfort, praise, and help others in making the right decisions.       As children of God, our words should strengthen and motivate those with whom we come in contact. Therefore, no harmful words shou...
