Good morning people of God, the day is running fast today, above all its a beautiful day the Lord has made and we continue to rejoice and be glad in it.
Let us quickly go to the business of the day, our Bible reading today is from Deuteronomy 7:1-end and our memory verse is from Deuteronomy 7:23 "But the Lord your God will give them over to you, and throw them into great confusion until they are destroyed."
To obey means to comply, to adhere to instructions, to respect orders and constituted authority. Life is governed by principles and not miracles even God our creator is a principled Personality. Life is also about give and take, and what you give is what you get. When obedience is the order of the day, support becomes a necessity. In our Bible reading today, we see God warning the Israelites not to have anything with the occupants of the promised land. One will ask why did God command them so? God knows the people and knows how corruptible they are and would not want them to corrupt the Israelites. The Israelites are people God has set apart to be their God and His people and it won't profit God to allow them be corrupted by the occupants of the promised. In obeying this commandment, God promised to support them and give the people on a silver platter to them.
We in so many ways have people we are contending with for different reasons. Some of these people are mightier than we are but if we obey God's commandments we will walk all over our enemies for it is not by power nor by might but by the grace of God.
May that grace of God rest and abide with us now and always.
Till I come your way again, remain blessed.
