When you've heard from Me

I do love and enjoy the old testament in my morning reading I was reminded,When you've heard from God don't even consider anything else! No matter who it comes from it's truly always best to "obey God". In 1 kings 13:1 The man of God heard from God and started out being obedient but was later persuaded to be disobedient,and he paid dearly.As I was reading this chapter I was wondering why did God allow this old prophet to do this,it seemed like a set up.But I was also reminded that God has a right to test us however and whenever he wants to,our job is to obey God and only God's voice and his leading us.It's amazing something that seems so simple as eating got this man of God into big trouble,that's why we need to be careful and obey God,even when it seems minor.

Just Thinking

As I was doing my bible study today I was reminded from my reading that obedience is better than sacrifice or heyyy you could get killed,no but seriously.I am so enjoying Jesus! But listen I was reading( 2 Samuel 6:14,21,22) You know about how David danced and praised God so hard and wild I mean he was getting down with his praise.So much that it embarrassed his wife David didn't care about that he was focused on God's goodness and mercy.I mean we shouldn't be ashamed of our praise and we don't have to try and act like someone else when we praise God.Okay I have been enjoying this message so much today for "Praising God" is a very good thing and David said I am willing to act like a fool in order to show my joy in the Lord Yes an I am willing to look even more foolish than this! I can only imagine the dancing David was doing before the Lord wow! I love the word of God for sure.

What Will It Take?

To believe in God until there is a change of heart? Just saying Jesus I believe want do it,you must be real with God,and acknowledge him for who he is. King Nebuchadnezzar said he believed,after all God showed him through Daniel.But his believing in God wasn't from his heart,it was only lip service.It does make a difference! Nebuchadnezzar knew from a first hand view the awesome power of God,and yet he refused to really believe in God.God has shown himself in so many,many different ways,yet you still refuse to acknowledge him as almighty God? what will it take to convince you,it took King Nebuchadnezzar a really "Big Fall",to bring him to his senses,to the point of eating grass like a cow,for many years!( Daniel 4:24) Then finally he realized that the God of heaven rules this whole world! Don't let your "pride" lead you to a endless & lonely place without God,but if that's what it takes,God will allow you to go there! In order for you to come into relationship with him,for God's love for you is "Great"!
