Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the innocent. —Deuteronomy 16:19              How often do we see this in today’s world or, really, any time in history.  People take bribes to pervert justice, show partiality, have their eyes blinded and twist the words of the innocent.  In our U.S government bribes are called “pork” or “earmarks.”  These are amendments that someone wants to add to a bill to get something they want and they won’t vote for a bill unless it is added to that bill.  This is bribery and yet…

It is the Lord your God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him. —Deuteronomy 13:4 Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the Lord has chosen you to be his treasured possession. —Deuteronomy 14:2 Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your mighty acts to all who are to come. —Psalm 71:18              Wow… think of this!  “Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the Lord has chosen you to be his treasured possession.”  What…

For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places. —Luke 8:29 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.”  So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him. —Luke 8:38-39              This demon possessed man, like so many today, needed to come to…

It is not because of your righteousness or your integrity that you are going in to take possession of their land… Understand, then, that it is not because of your righteousness that the Lord your God is giving you this good land to possess, for you are a stiff-necked people. —Deuteronomy 9:5-6 May they be blotted out of the book of life and not be listed with the righteous. —Psalm 69:28 No one can be established through wickedness, but the righteous cannot be uprooted. —Proverbs 12:3 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. —Galatians 3:27 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but…

For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession. —Deuteronomy 7:6 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. —I Peter 2:9 For we know, brothers and sisters loved by God, that he has chosen you… —I Thessalonians 1:4              Brothers & sisters, fellow followers/disciples of Jesus, God chose you.  He chose you and I to be— Ok, now if that does not excite…

Showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. —Deuteronomy 5:10 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. —Deuteronomy 6:4-9 The fruit of the righteous…

Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the Lord your God that I give you. —Deuteronomy 4:2 Teach them to your children and to their children after them…  teach them to their children. — Deuteronomy 4:9-10 See that you do all I command you; do not add to it or take away from it. — Deuteronomy 12:32 Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar. —Proverbs 30:6 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person…

These forty years the Lord your God has been with you, and you have not lacked anything. —Deuteronomy 2:7 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered. —Luke 22:35              Hudson Taylor said, “God’s work done in God’s way will not lack God’s supply.”  So it is with us.  If God calls us to do something He will provide us with what we need to accomplish it.  Simply put, in life, what God desires us to have He will give us.  So, let us trust Him to supply us with what we need in any and all situations that He…

One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.  A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.  —Proverbs 11:24-25              We do not give to get, but so often when we are generous, our Lord is generous to us.  It may just be that a person who is not generous may find that what he has decreases.  Truly, a generous person will prosper.  It may be a prosperity that is not material, although that may be the case, but the prospering may be in the refreshing of others.  That can happen in many ways and not just with material generosity.              …
