Psalm 105:26-45
September 3, 2022
He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen. They performed his signs among them and miracles in the land of Ham. He sent darkness, and made the land dark; they did not rebel against his words. He turned their waters into blood and caused their fish to die. Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the chambers of their kings. He spoke, and there came swarms of flies and gnats throughout their country. He gave them hail for rain and fiery lightning bolts through their land. He struck down their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country. He spoke, and the locusts came, young locusts without number, which devoured all the vegetation in their land and ate up the fruit of their ground. He struck down all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their strength. Then he brought out Israel with silver and gold, and there was none among his tribes who stumbled. Egypt was glad when they departed, for dread of them had fallen upon it. He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light by night. They asked, and he brought quail and gave them bread from heaven in abundance. He opened the rock, and water gushed out; it flowed through the desert like a river. For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham, his servant. So he brought his people out with joy, his chosen ones with singing. And he gave them the lands of the nations and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples' toil, that they might keep his statutes and observe his laws. Praise the Lord!
After reading that account of our great and mighty God, let me share a few verses for you to give much thought to. Hebrews 13:8-9, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them.
As you give thought to what God has done in the past for His chosen people when they were blessed with abundance they went after the little gods of this world, and He allowed them to do so. But He also allowed His chosen to become slaves for 400 years in Egypt, before sending Moses His man to bring them into the land He had promised Abraham. It seems the USA has chosen the little gods of this world, and because God is true to Himself, will we escape from His judgment? Do you need to go back and read Hebrews 13:8. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Each of you can google “the fear of God”, and you will see more verses than most will read, yes it means to do as He has said for you to do in His love letter (the Bible) to you, so why not take a few days to read the book of John, and ask God to show you the Truth. You have much to gain and nothing to lose but time wasted watching T.V. How do I know because I also waste time watching it, but each day I make time to learn about what God has for me and I have come to desire Him more than anything.
