We need a lot of the things around us for daily life, e.g. work, school, etc. In fact, we are admonished to work in order to provide for our dependants according to 1 Tim 5:8. But are we aware of the point where they start taking over our lives? Our mandate according to Genesis 1:26-28 is to have dominion over the world on behalf of the Creator, not the world having dominion over us.

There is a battle being waged for control of our souls. The world in its various forms wants to control our souls and so does the Lord. Work, friends, hobbys, traditions, etc are all competing for our souls. Have we allowed any of these things to take our souls captive? The Lord assures us in Hebrews 13:5 & Matthew 28:20 that He will never leave us. The world can’t give that assurance.

I gave my life to Christ over 25 years ago because He is an awesome God. He is trustworthy and loving. I like reading His word because it teaches me so much about Him. As He gives me strength, I will strive to keep walking with Him. Even when Israel had given up on themselves, the Lord remained faithful to His promise concerning them Isaiah 40:1-8, especially vs 8.

The importance of knowing God’s promises is that He keeps His word and you therefore know what to expect. He is reliable and what He says comes to pass Joshua 21:43-45.

Has the Lord spoken a specific word concerning you lately? What did He say? What do you need to do to hear Him? May we have a desire to hear Him and may He speak concerning us. May it come to pass. I pray that we will not be like those people mentioned in Mark 4:10-12 who don’t perceive what the Lord is saying. Let’s also pray for one another so that we may perceive what the Lord is saying concerning us.

From the promise in Numbers 14 about the promised land, 40 years elapsed. Numbers chapter 14 to 36 describes the 40 year journey. God kept His word about the generation that would not enter Canaan. In Deuteronomy 1:1-8, we see the Israelites just about to enter into their inheritance. What has the Lord spoken concerning you? Is it taking longer than you expected to manifest? He shall surely do it. Just play your part.

Moses walked closely with God and there are a few things we can learn about God from this relationship. According to Numbers 14:17-23, God is very patient, His love is one promise we can always count on, He forgives over and over again and He answers prayer. We are fortunate to have such a loving God.

Let our gratitude for God and all He is lead to a lifestyle of praise and worship. In Psalm 68, David shows his gratitude by praising God. He portrays God as one who saves from sin that leads to death, and blesses His children. At this point David hadn’t experienced all the blessings God had promised, but He had enough faith to worship God with so much passion. Despite our circumstances, may we find the grace and strength to praise and worship this great God as a sign of gratitude for what He has done, is doing and will do.

One of the things we can do to show gratitude is mentioned in Galatians 6:9-10. It takes some effort to do this sometimes, but it elicits so much joy. Let us emulate God I this matter and see how it touches people.

Even as we show gratitude to God for His mercy and goodness, there are those around us who are not convicted of His majesty and power. Jude 17-23 guides us on what to do with them.
