““The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you;”
Numbers 6:24-25
The above word’s the priest was told to say over Israel. May we receive the same! We already know God has been gracious to us and blessed us. May we live lives that bring His glory to shine upon us as well!

“Therefore You are great, O Lord God. For there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.”
II Samuel 7:22
May we echo the words of David here! God has blessed us beyond measure. He is God, the only God!

“The words of the Lord are pure words”
Psalms 12:6a
Nothing more pure than God’s Word which also is known to be Jesus! Look here:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”
John 1:1-5
Chew on that today!

“The children of Israel brought a freewill offering to the Lord, all the men and women whose hearts were willing to bring material for all kinds of work which the Lord, by the hand of Moses, had commanded to be done.”
Exodus 35:29
Israel gave to the Lords work at least those who were willing did! Do you think God noticed who did and who did not? You bet He did as it is recorded in His Word! So are you willing to give for the work of the Lord? If God looks at your bank account does He find you willing or not?
Chew on that today!

“And whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall certainly stone him, the stranger as well as him who is born in the land. When he blasphemes the name of the Lord, he shall be put to death.”
Leviticus 24:16
Just think on that. How many would be dead for doing this if penalty was still done!?? God takes His name very seriously. So should we.
Tom
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
II Timothy 1:7
If you are a true follower of Jesus, then the Holy Spirit lives inside you. You then have power from God to do God’s will in your life like tell others about Jesus. Are we using that power as God has told us to do?
We have no excuses! Get busy!

“Whoever eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.’ ””
Leviticus 7:27
God set up laws for Israel to follow. Some of them if not followed resulted in being cut off from the people of Israel. We too have commands from God to follow with the most serious one being to follow Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. Failure to follow so will result in you being cut off from God and His children for eternity. Obey God!
