” AND YOU MUST COMMIT YOURSELVES WHOLEHEARTEDLY TO THE COMMANDS THAT I AM GIVING YOU TODAY. REPEAT THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN TO YOUR CHILDREN. TALK ABOUT THEM WHEN YOU ARE AT HOME AND WHEN YOU ARE ON THE ROAD, WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO BED AND WHEN YOU ARE GETTING UP. TIE THEM TO YOUR HANDS AND WEAR THEM ON YOUR FOREHEAD AS REMEINDERS. WRITE THEM ON THE DOORPOSTS OF YOUR HOUSE AND ON YOUR GATES.” DEUTERONOMY 6: 4-8
” STUDY THIS BOOK OF INSTRUCTION CONTINUALLY. MEDITATE UPON IT DAY AND NIGHT SO THAT YOU WILL BE SURE TO OBEY EVERYTHING WRITTEN IN IT.” JOSHUA 1:8
The Lord our God is as close as we allow him to be. We are living in some very trying times. We need to get and stay as close to our Lord as we can. We need to wrap ourselves with his blanket of comfort. We need to wrap ourselves with his promises and always be reminded that he is by our side in every circumstance. It is easy to get involved in the wickedness of this world. We are surrounded all day long with what the world believes and how the world works. Because we live in this world, we must strengthen our faith in God. We must remind ourselves of his commandments for our lives and we must remind ourselves of his mighty promises. We must stay in constant communication with our Lord. We must involve him in everything we do. We must talk with him and listen to him. He must be the first and the last person we talk and listen to each day. He is our source and not the world. As this world becomes more and more frightening, we have the comfort of our Lord at our fingertips. He is beside us, in us, and with us everywhere we go. We must believe and receive from him and be doers and not just hearers. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
