Make vows to the Lord your God and fulfill them; let all the neighboring lands bring gifts to the One to be feared. Psalm 76:11 NIV #faith #warrior #words #fear #bible #believers #SoulSnack
We watched a program some time ago where the characters were cast into different scenarios searching for a desired outcome. They chose different actions in each reality. They had an opportunity for a do over, a second chance, like perhaps we might wish for at times. I thought about that when I read:
My dear children, let’s not just talk about love; let’s practice real love. This is the only way we’ll know we’re living truly, living in God’s reality. 1 John 3:18 msg
So, who will choose the reality of living in real love? What reality will we choose to live in today?
From heaven you pronounced judgment, and the land feared and was quiet—when you, God, rose up to judge, to save all the afflicted of the land. Psalm 76:8-9 NIV #faith #warrior #words #fear #bible #believers #Jesus #SoulSnack
How do you like the idea of being put on trial, participating in a legal proceeding and standing before a judge? We can go to mediation and avoid the trial certain to expose and condemn us for our misdeeds. How? Consider …
For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men – the testimony given in its proper time. 1 Timothy 2:5 NIV 1984
So let us seek Jesus, the One who willingly stands as our Mediator to reconcile us to God.
God is renowned … His name is great … It is you alone who are to be feared. Who can stand before you …? Psalm 76:1-7 NIV
Our greatest strength alone is not enough for us to stand before God. So let be in awe of Him. #faith #warrior #words #fear #bible #believers #Jesus #SoulSnack
So Moses returned to ADONAI and said, "ADONAI, why have you brought evil on these people? Is this why You sent me? Ever since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your Name, he has brought evil on these people. You have not delivered Your people at all."
ADONAI said to Moses, "Now you will see what I am going to do to Pharaoh. By way of a strong hand he will let them go, and drive them out of his land." Exodus 5:22-6:1 TLV
Even Moses, the most humble man (see Numbers 12:3), had questions about how God did things. And God graciously answered him. So yes, God can handle our honest questions. And if it is good for us to know the answer, it will come. How can we be sure? Because He is faithful to His Word, and it says:
... For ADONAI Elohim is a sun and a shield. ADONAI gives grace and glory. No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. ADONAI-Tzva'ot, blessed is the one who trusts in You. Psalm 84:12-13 TLV
Indeed, God does not withhold what is good for those who walk uprightly.
May God bless us still, so that all the ends of the earth will fear him. Psalm 67:7 NIV
God’s blessings on us are a witness of His goodness so others will fear Him, too. #faith #warrior #words #fear #Bible #believers #Jesus #SoulSnack
