FATHER spoke to the children of Israel in Exodus chapter 15:
25 So he (Moses) cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a tree. When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet.
There He made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there He tested them,
26 and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put (permit) none of the diseases on you which I have brought (allowed) on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”
The Spirit and Word are both mentioned in the above passage. Heeding the Voice of THE LORD is critical thus we must place this aspect at the forefront of our priorities.
How can I do what is right in HIS Sight if I don’t heed HIS instruction? I look over my life and see the times I failed to get HIS counsel before making a decision for I relied on my “mental prowess” instead. What a mistake!
Doing what is right in HIS Sight means that HE is watching us. FATHER is not surprised by our spiritual state whether good or bad. HE desires all HIS Sons and Daughters to embrace what is right in HIS Sight and the inhabitants of Heaven are cheering us on when we promote life.
In John chapter 15, Jesus spoke:
9 “I Love each of you with the same Love that the Father Loves Me. You must continually let My Love nourish your hearts. 10 If you keep My commands, you will live in My Love, just as I have kept My Father’s commands, for I continually live nourished and empowered by HIS Love. 11 My purpose for telling you these things is so that the joy that I experience will fill your hearts with overflowing gladness!
12 “So this is My command: Love each other deeply, as much as I have Loved you. 13 For the greatest Love of all is a Love that sacrifices all. And this great Love is demonstrated when a person sacrifices his life for his friends.
Jesus’ ministry focused on giving, our ministry should have the same focus. As I give, good seed is planted and ultimately produces good fruit. As I plant daily, I am preparing for a continuous harvest. That harvest will sustain me well into the future.
In Psalm 105, it is written by The Holy Spirit for our instruction:
37 At last, God freed all the Hebrews from their slavery
and sent them away laden with the silver and gold of Egypt.
And not even one was feeble on their way out!
38 Egypt was relieved at their exodus, ready to see them go,
for the terror of the Lord of the Hebrews had fallen upon them!
39 God spread out a cloud as shade as they moved ahead
and a cloud of fire to light up their night.
40 Moses prayed and God brought them quail to eat.
He satisfied them with heaven’s bread falling from the sky.
41 He broke open the boulder
and the waters poured out like a river in the desert.
42 For God could never forget
his holy promise to his servant Abraham.
43 So God brought out his chosen ones with singing;
with a joyful shout they were set free!
44 He gave them lands and nations, just like he promised.
Fruitful lands of crops they had never planted were now theirs.
45 All this was done for them so that they would be faithful
to keep the ways of God, obeying his laws and following his truths.
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
What did the FATHER of Love do? HE:
- Freed them from slavery
- Sent them “heavy laden” with gold and silver
- No one had sickness or disease
- Kept them cool in the day with shade
- Kept them warm at night and gave them light at night
- Gave them quail to eat
- Gave them bread to eat
- Gave them water to drink
- Gave them fruitful land of crops they did not plant
Does HE Love you and me any less? Aren’t we meant to be “more” than conquerors? Let us bring the intent and reality of Heaven to earth and no longer limit ourselves from HIS abundant Love! HE is willing, are we?
