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?”
Exodus 33:16 NASB1995

Keep the Word

Feb24

Oh that my ways may be established (steadfast) To keep (obey)Your statutes (decrees, laws)!  Then I shall not be ashamed When I look upon all Your commandments.
Psalms 119:5‭-‬6 NASB

How do we obey God’s statutes? When we know His commandments and keep them. How do we know them? You must open the word of God and read. Open the word of God and know. Then we obey them.

🌹 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.  He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.
John 14:23‭-‬24 NASB

The Writing on The Wall

Sep8

but you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven; . . . and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which do not see, hear or understand. But the God in whose hand are your life-breath and all your ways, you have not glorified.
Daniel 5:23 NASB

King Belshazzar saw the writing on the wall and that night his life was taken. He had gone too far defaming the name of God.

He trusted in his own ability and ways. He was secure in his own fun and games with absolutely no regard to the things of God.

🌹Is God glorified in your life? Are you aware that He is your very life-breath and all your ways?

🌹Don’t wait until you see the writing on your wall. Turn to God (repent) and seek His forgiveness, truth and way. Let Him breathe new life into you for His glory.

Continually Seeking Him,

Scattered Abroad

Jun29

They said, “Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name, otherwise we will be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.” — Genesis 11:4

So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city. — Genesis 11:8

Ironic isn’t it that God has a plan but we always think that our plan is better. God has a purpose and it will come about.

How much time do you take in seeking the Lord’s counsel before you “do” for the Lord? I’m not talking about the daily service to our brothers and sisters which comes as part of our daily walk but about that “grandiose” thing “we” want to do for the Lord. We would save so much time and trouble if only we would seek His counsel before we start a project in His name.

Continually seeking Him,
