Deuteronomy 6:1-8:20
Oh man, this is a portion so full of good things where can I start? You can preach series after series of this!!!!!
Take these commands and:
-Put them on your heart
-Impress them on your children
-Talk about them at home and going to and fro
-Tie them on your hands
-Bind them on your foreheads
-Write them on your houses and gates
You got it yet?? Don't forget them!!!
And then when you are blessed DON'T FORGET GOD!!
Over and over and over and over and (you get the point) God warns them to follow His decrees and laws closely. He tells them as they enter the Promise Land to be very careful in several areas. He says don't serve their gods but destroy them, don't intermarry with them, don't make a treaty with them, don't, don't, don't... but remember be careful remember be careful remember be careful.... You would think we would get God's point, to0. The devil is the master of deceit in getting our eyes on everything else but God.
Luke 11:33-54
Six Woes
When I read this passage I think of the beautiful people not very far from Bakersfield in LA who look gorgeous and make the magazines but one day the real truth of their insides is going to be revealed. Every young person in America is wishing and striving to be like so and so but we should really be striving to be like Jesus!
And I then think of the preachers on t.v. who seem to have fantastic ministries. Even that is not enough and they commit sins and excuse them and they too are clean on the outside but dirty on the inside. Lord if nobody notices me for the perfection on the inside, may you notice the cleanness of my heart!
Psalm 42:1-6a
Why so downcast, O my soul? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him. My savior and my God.
Need I say more?
Love you all! Rachel
