“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!

“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”
II Peter 3:9
One of the reasons the Lord has not come yet is because of this verse. God is patient and giving all the opportunity to repent and come to follow Jesus as Lord and Savior. But do not be fooled the clock is ticking and at some point time will be up! Jesus will come! Be ready!

“So Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman do any more work for the offering of the sanctuary.” And the people were restrained from bringing, for the material they had was sufficient for all the work to be done—indeed too much.”
Exodus 36:6-7
It is safe to say most churches don’t have the problem Moses had…giving too much! May we be givers to the Lord’s work as well where the Pastor has say “your giving too much”!
Tom
“So Moses made haste and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshiped. Then he said, “If now I have found grace in Your sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray, go among us, even though we are a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as Your inheritance.””
Exodus 34:8-9
May we all have a friend like Moses who intercedes for us unto the Lord. Yes Jesus is our main interceder but I am talking about godly friends!

“then beware, lest you forget the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.”
Deuteronomy 6:12
God here was telling Israel when they enter the promise land and are enjoying the blessings God provided don’t forget the Lord.
May it be a warning to us as well. When things are going well and we are enjoying the blessings of God do not forget Him. We have a tendency to only want Him when we have problems!
Tom
“Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.”
II Timothy 4:2
We are not to ever separate ourselves from Jesus and His love message. At work, on vacation, at home, and at play our life and speech should tell of Jesus!
Is your life speaking Jesus at all times?
Tom
