RBT: 1 CORINTHIANS 14 - 16
TEXT: DEUTERONOMY 10: 1 - 11
HYMN; BH 184: I Know the Bible is true
I will write on the
tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. Then you are
to put them in the ark. Deuteronomy 10: 2, NIV
In his sermon, practicing His
presence James Goll asserts that the Christian faith is a journey that requires
assurance of being guided by God. True intimacy with God is an inward journey
proceeding into His presence through His word.
This part is virtually unseen and
ignored by vast majority of Human beings.
This is why Moses reminded the Israelite
about God’s relationship with them.
The Lord sent Moses forth to lead
the People so that they can enter and possess the land the Lord has sworn to
their forefathers (v. 11). But they would not be able to accomplish this
without God’s word and God’s presence. And that was why Moses had to stay forty
days and forty nights the second time to get God’s word to the people (v. 10).
The Lord instructed Moses to place the two tablets containing the Ten Commandments
in the ark. The people were able to continue on their journey after Moses had
done all that the Lord commanded him.
God has a lot in store for us as
children today, but we will not be able to possess our possessions until we
have put His words first, and cherish His presence in our lives. Peter’s story
changed from that of “fruitless toil” to that of a “great catch” when he cast
his net according to the word of Christ (John 21: 1 – 6). The secret of your
much desires success is in learning the secret of God’s word and cultivating His
presence.
Today,
do not allow anything to rattle you to putting away God’s words in your heart
and His presence as you go about your endeavors.
WISDOM:
God’s words come with
God’s presence.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
Do you confront Life’s
challenges with the God’s word?
FOLLOW-UP ACTION:
Spend time in God’s
presence by reading His word
PRAYER:
Father, help me to keep
your words in my heart that I may not sin against you.
Lord, grant
me the grace to delight in your word, In Jesus’ name.
