A Distinguished People

Jun3

Moses, known by God who said, ‘I have known you by name’, and having found favor with God was chosen to bring God’s people to the promised land.
Moses asks God,  “Who will You send with me to bring up these people?” 
Now therefore, I pray You, if I have found favor in Your sight, let me know Your ways that I may know You, so that I may find favor in Your sight.”

Moses prays, ‘That I may know You.’ Did you catch that? And how do we know God? By knowing His ways. God shows us His way through the Bible, through Jesus who is the way, and the Holy Spirit, so that we may know Him.

And God answers Moses, “My presence shall go with you, . . .”
Exodus 33:12-14 NASB1995

Is your walk with God visible? Is God’s presence noticeable to you? Do others see Him in you?

Are you walking everyday with God? Is He your constant companion? Do you look different from the world?

🌹For how then can it be known that I have found favor in Your sight, I and Your people? Is it not by Your going with us, so that we, I and Your people, may be distinguished from all the other people who are upon the face of the earth?”

Thankful for Friendship

Nov26

A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity.
Proverbs 17:17 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.17.17.NASB1995

A friend is a companion.

Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up.
And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, 12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/ecc.4.9-12.NASB1995

A friend is someone we rejoice with.

When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost!’
Luke 15:9 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.15.9.NASB1995

Friendship is a life long blessing when the Lord is the foundation for His glory.

So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.
Colossians 3:12-17 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.3.12-17.NASB1995

🙏Thank You, God, for giving friendships to us who are of like minds and hearts

🙏And thank You, Jesus, for being a close, intimate perfect example of friendship and for the blessing of being Your friend.

🌹Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.
John 15:13-15 NASB1995

Fellowship

Apr12

As for the saints who are on the earth, They are the majestic ones; all my delight is in them.  
The pains of those who have acquired another god will be multiplied; I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood, Nor will I take their names upon my lips. 
Psalms 16:3-‬4 NASB

How important is it for you to fellowship with other believers? Hopefully it is your delight for it will help keep you from the pain of following false gods. False gods are anything or anyone that is more important to you than following God in trusting obedience.

🌹I am a companion to all those who fear You, And to those who keep Your precepts.
Psalms 119:63 NASB
