“Only do not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the Lord is with us. Do not fear them.””
Numbers 14:9
God has told Israel to take the Land. Israel has been told the can’t do it by most of the guys who spied it out. But 2 of them…Joshua and Caleb say WE CAN! Why? “The Lord is with us!”
May we remember that in our day to day battles! The Lord is with us…march on!

“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.””
John 14:3-4
Our Savior Jesus tells us plainly here He will be back for us so we can be with Him!!!! And we know the way….Him! Praise Him for this promise from our Lord!

Job’s response after he lost everything including his children as God allowed Satan to test him:
“And he said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, And naked shall I return there. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord.” In all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong.”
Job 1:21-22
He praised and worshipped God as He had his priorities right in life. May we always remember this in the tough times we face in life as well!

“One who is wise is cautious and turns away from evil, but a fool is reckless and careless.”
Proverbs 14:16
The Bible is clear…wisdom comes from knowing and doing God’s Word. We can not be truly wise without knowing God’s Word and then we must put it to use in all situations. On the other hand a fool does whatever he wants, why he wants, and how ever he wants to fulfill his own desires. When one is reckless like this he will answer to God!
Each must ask himself…am I wise or a fool?

“No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.”
John 15:15
Jesus is not only our Savior but He is also our friend. As our friend He has made known to us the Word of God. So if it is important for Jesus to do that for us it should be important for us to share it with our friends especially our lost friends! If we truly love them nothing will stop us telling them what God’s Word says!!!

“My son, do not forget my law, But let your heart keep my commands;”
Proverbs 3:1
God through Solomon here speaking to His children…”do not forget my law.” The Word of God is to direct our lives. Teach our children this from a young age! It is of utmost importance! We are to keep God’s commands in our heart! Treasure them because God in His great love for us gave us a guide book for life! Thank you Lord and may we be obedient to you in every way you have taught us!
