Deuteronomy 31

God is with us as long as we're with Him

This is one of the final chapters of this book, Moses gives his blessing to Joshua to be the leader of God's people.


 
"Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them[other nations], "for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. "He will not leave you or forsake you." (verse 6)
 
Today...
I carry this verse with me everyday. I relate it to my everyday life because I know that God is with me in every battle spiritual that I will go through in that day, and I need to be strong and courageous because God Himself is on my side.
 
But God is on my side ONLY as long as I'm on His side, it is impossible to be friends with the world and be on God's side. We have to be careful and see the line between the two.
 
     Later on in this chapter God speaks to Moses and tells him that these people will go into their promised land but they will eventually forget the law and their Lord and turn to other gods. SO God tells Moses to also write a song that these people can memories and when they forget the law and turn their hearts away from the Lord this song will be in their minds and it will be judging them.
 
Moses writes the song as well, and it is described in the next chapter.

" O  Lord , you have  searched me and known me! ...even the darkness is not dark to you;      the night is bright as the day,      for darkness is as light with you ... I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works;      my soul knows it very well... How precious to me are your  thoughts, O God!      How vast is the sum of them! ... Search me, O God, and know my heart!      Try me and know my thoughts! 24  And see if there be any grievous way in me,      and  lead me in  the way everlasting! " Psalm 139:1,12,14,17,23,24 This is such an amazing psalm that David wrote down and that we have now. I will never stop being amazed with the relationship that David had with the LORD. This psalm was David's prayer to the LORD, it is written in such a personal and deep level that it is hard to skim over this psalm. This ps...

What’s the deal with Easter, is it even real?

I wonder how many people actually understand the meaning of Easter? Not just people, but people that say they’re followers of Christ.  If you’re celebrating something I would think you need to know the history behind it, right? I might be to naive to believe people care about history these days, but as a firm believer in Jesus Christ history is very important to me.  Yes, history! Jesus Christ was actually alive and did die, and rose from the dead. Some might say that its only recorded in the Bible and how can a person rely on one source?  Well to begin the Bible is 66 different books, so technically it’s not one source. But the events of Jesus’ life, crucifixion, and then Him walking amongst the people after His death was recorded not only in the first 4 books of the New Testament but it was also mentioned in ancient Roman and Jewish history. There were also many folk tales that were orally passed down that mention Jesus of Nazareth... there is so much ev...
