WALKING WITH GOD II
Memorise: Therefore thus saith the Lord,
Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone a
tried stone, a precious corner
stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not
make haste. Isaiah 28:16
Read: Deuteronomy 8:1-6, 8 All the commandments which I command thee this day shall
ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the
land which the Lord sware
unto your fathers.
2 And
thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy
God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove
thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his
commandments, or no.
3 And he
humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou
knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that
man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the
mouth of the Lord doth
man live.
4 Thy
raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
5 Thou
shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so theLord thy
God chasteneth thee.
6 Therefore
thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy
God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
Bible in one
year: Deuteronomy 28, Job 8:1-19
MESSAGE!!!
Walking with God
requires knowing His ways. There is no way you can walk with God if you do not
know His ways, this is because God is invisible and yet only walking with Him
guarantees safety and prosperity. Another thing about walking in His ways is
that His ways are more often not our ways: The Bible says:
“For my thoughts are
not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the
heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my
thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:8-9
In our Bible reading
for today, God says that His people should remember all the ways in which He
led them for forty years. One striking thing about this passage is the fact
that man survives majority on the Word of God and not by bread alone. How did
God show His people this truth? He gave them food and water on a daily basis
without them labouring. Even their clothes and sandals did not wear out!
“And he humbled thee,
and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not,
neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not
live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the
Lord doth man live. Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee….”
Deuteronomy 8:3-4
The above passage
shows that people of God should not disobey
God because of what they will eat
or drink. Many today are on their way to hell because of what they will eat,
drink or put on. This was the truth that guided Jesus when the devil wanted to
bring Him down with food in Luke 4:4. Jesus taught his disciples, re-assuring
them that as long as they walk with God in His ways through His words, all
their needs would be met. He said:
“Therefore I say unto
you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink;
nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat,
and the body than raiment?
Matthew 6:25
Beloved, I encourage
you to begin to walk with God by His Word from today, and you will experience
His Almighty benevolence in Jesus’ name.
Prayer Point
