I will be with your mouth.

 “Then Moses said to the Lord, “O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.” So the Lord said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, the Lord? Now therefore, go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall say.””

‭‭Exodus‬ ‭4‬:‭10‬-‭12‬ ‭

As God told Moses to go and speak to Pharaoh to let His people go, Jesus tells us to go and share the gospel. As Moses made excuses about speaking, we make excuses about what we can’t share the gospel. God tells Moses He will be with Him. God is with us as well through the Holy Spirit!

As Moses ended up obeying may we obey as well. Tell folks about Jesus so they have the opportunity to repent of their sins and put their faith in Christ!

Inquire!

 “So David inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?” And He answered him, “Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.””

‭‭I Samuel‬ ‭30‬:‭8‬ ‭

In

Many of David’s decisions he inquired of the Lord to see what he should do. We would be wise to do the same in our decision making. Then do what God reveals to us!

God gives!

 “So Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.””

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭41‬:‭16‬ 

May we remember as Joesph did in interpreting his dreams that every ability we have comes from the Lord! Give him praise!

The Lord was with…

 “The Lord was with Joseph.

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭39‬:‭2‬a

Joesph had an up and down life…sold into slavery by brothers, made top servant, accused of rape and put in prison, and made second in command of Egypt but the Lord was with him because he was faithful to God. 

May we also be able to claim the Lord was with me!!! Be faithful to the Lord.

The Benefits of Worship

 Taken from “Our Daily Bread”. 

The Benefits of Worship

The Westminster Shorter Catechism of Faith states, "Man's chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever." To glorify God—that's worship! To enjoy Him forever-that's the all-encompassing reward that includes these specific benefits:

FORGIVENESS. True worshipers recognize God's holiness and accept His forgiveness (ROMANS 5:1; 1 JOHN 1:9). Through worship they're purified.

GUIDANCE. Those who honor God will be given wisdom and will receive His guidance day by day (PSALM 25:4-12; PROVERBS 1:7; 3:5-6).

PROVISION. Jesus said that God will meet our material needs if we give Him first place in our lives (MATTHEW 6:33; SEE ALSO PSALM 23; 37:3-6).

LOVE. The love of God is experienced in the hearts of all those who are true worshipers (PSALM 63:3; JOHN 14:21, 23; ROMANS 5:5).

POWER. To all who give God the glory He deserves, He gives the enablement to do the things He requires of them

(2 CORINTHIANS 12:7-10; EPHESIANS 3:14-21; PHILIPPIANS 4:13).

PROTECTION. God faithfully watches over all who acknowledge Him, and He keeps them in all of life's changing circumstances (PSALM 5:11~12; 1 PETER 1:5).

GLORY. All true worshipers of God will one day be glorified.

They'll inherit a new heaven and a new earth and join a company of believers and angels in perfect, uninterrupted worship (2 PETER 3:13; 1 JOHN 3:2; REVELATION 19:1-10).

Good stuff!

Blessings

 “Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭103‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭

Slowly read this. Add your own blessings to it. Then give praise to the Lord! He is good!
