REMEMBER....

Deut 8:1-10 NIV. "Be careful to follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may live and increase and may enter and possess the land the LORD promised on oath to your ancestors.  Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands.  He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD. Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years.  Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.Observe the commands of the LORD your God, walking in obedience to him and revering him.  For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land—a land with brooks, streams, and deep springs gushing out into the valleys and hills;  a land with wheat and barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey;  a land where bread will not be scarce and you will lack nothing; a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills. When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the LORD your God for the good land he has given you."

In reading this today I simply thought of the word REMEMBER.  Remember what God is doing or wants to do; remember what God has done.  Remember what He wants out of us.  Remember how much He loves and longs for us.  Remember everything that God has given you in promises and hopes for your life.  But most importantly remember God’s purpose and reasons for things in our life.  Read the passage above…and listen to God speaking directly to our lives.  He is telling us remember---as you read notice the journey in the road to a promise or promised land. Notice how God allows and leads us through a road of humility and how unless we truly grasp this we’ll never get to our promise. Notice how even though He is leading or leads us through this road He still watches after us—He never abandons us.  Notice how in the end when and as we receive His promises He wants more praise more worship.  That’s all He’s about---and don’t stop worshipping.  No matter what you have or don’t have---there is only 4 days left in 2011---can you end them just worshiping Him and not asking?  Don’t ask any more for what you want or need—He knows already.  As you worship---remember.  Remember that if we don’t know how to worship now---we won’t know how to worship Him when we’re in the promise and enjoying of the promise.  “…He humbled you by letting you go hungry. (vs 3) Wow…what a line---this is deep and I will just leave it at that!! Let God speak to you about your unmet hungers---Would God ever not answer or “let us go hungry to humble us?” hmmm….well He did it with His beloved children of Israel.  But then He gave them manna---hmmm….I feel a lesson coming for me and a possible prayer method…(more to follow next year)…

In the meantime, REMEMBER…

If you remember may it lead you to more worship and devotion of Him!

Adelante!
