Those who believe the Bible is the Word of God would agree that it should be read and obeyed, however, carrying this out becomes the challenge. One reason of course is that we are human, and it does not come naturally, however, oft times, it is just from a lack of understanding. Some may say it is too old fashioned, or irrelevant to our day. They give up right away and just do not read it at all. Jesus wants us to understand, be kept from evil, and be sanctified daily by His word. The adage is true, “Rome wasn’t built in a day,” but it was built. Some things take time, but they are worth it. Just like food, water, and oxygen, we need His word. If we ingest it, one morsel at a time, we will be nourished.

Storytime - Continuing with the story of Moses, we see that he had to have a little dose of real life, before he could fulfil the calling that God had for his life.
God loves us and has a plan for our lives; however, we cannot save ourselves. We need to apply his death, burial, and resurrection to our lives individually to be cleansed and become a new creature.
God has set forth directives for us and though he loves us unconditionally, he wants us to pay attention to his word and obey him. Anyone who is a parent can agree that this is not too much to ask of our children, and it is indeed expected.
It is pleasing to the Lord when we reproduce spiritually; however, this is only the beginning of the process. We are called to nurture those who we bring to the Lord and disciple them even as Jesus did in his earthly ministry.
It is not always the most boisterous person that can make a difference in their world, but more often it is the quietest person. It is the small and intentional things that can make the greatest impact.
We are the Light of the World and the Salt of the Earth. Two distinctions that Jesus gave to those who are believers. This helps those in darkness find their way to Him, and then they receive teaching and discipling that helps preserve them in this crazy world until He comes to take us home.
God despises double mindedness as well as rebellion. What he is looking for from us is a determined, persistent faith and a humble and obedient spirit.
There is a lot of noise and chatter all around us daily; however, meaningful communication requires parties who have a message to convey to one another, for a specific purpose.
God has given us as Gentiles a chance to be grafted into the Olive Branch by faith; however, as He opened the door of faith to us it will close too. Don't wait! Take advantage of this time of grace and faith that we are living in.
We can learn from nature, from children, from one another, and from God's word. We will not be able to plead the fifth on the judgement day. We need to learn what pleases God and what displeases Him.
The steps of a righteous man or woman are ordered by the Lord. We must not forget to give God the glory and praise He deserves for directing our paths, keeping us safe and working all things together for our good.
There is nothing that shows love more than forgiveness. The scripture tells us, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
We need to be heralding the good news of the Gospel now more than ever before! He is coming soon, and we need to emphasize the urgency of the hour we are living in to those around us.
