Hello my dear blog-reading friend. I just wanted to take am moment to thank you for taking the time to read this…I know that things on this page haven’t been quite as exciting lately, I have been busy to the point of nuttyness (yes that is a word) and haven’t put quite the time that I would have liked. Thanks for sticking with me!
Today God lived and worked…and even better than that, he allowed us to live and to work with him…
Just take a second to think about that…
The God of the Universe is moving in our lives…he is allowing us to be with him.
Just hold onto that.
Now think about this…God notices us. He cared enough about us that he gave the Israelites commands. God actually cares about what we do.
He also loves us enough to give us a choice.
The passages that I read tonight (I cut it short because they are so crazy deep) are some of the last things that Moses is recorded as saying.
This comes after all of the commands and all of the promises of God’s blessing if only the Israelites will follow him.
Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. (30:11)
This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.(30:19-20)
First of all…I really want to see that Moses really wants the people to know that God’s commands are doable. He wants them to know that he is not asking for more than they can give. We serve a God who knows our limits, and who will only give us what he can get us through.
Secondly, please know for certain that God is life! We have the ability to follow him (to CHOOSE HIM) and he is LIFE. He is the only thing that can hold us together. He is the one thing that can make us happy. He is your life…
So just a reminder “Hold Fast” to God. The world will shake, and following him will seem impossible sometimes…but hold on! This is not too difficult for you…it is not beyond your grasp.
Good night!
