Eternal Love
“Remember these things, O Jacob, And Israel, for you are My servant; I have formed you, you are My servant, O Israel, you will not be forgotten by Me.”
A Heart of Deception
“‘A son honors his father, and a servant his master. Then if I am a father, where is My honor? And if I am a master, where is My respect?’ says the LORD of hosts to you, O priests who despise My name.” Malachi 1:6 NASB
The Gratitude Shift
It’s a simple concept. In fact, it almost seems trite. How many times throughout life have we been told to be grateful for what we have? Yet, gratitude, even in its most elementary, basic form, works. It causes us to think about our blessings and the Source of our blessings, and in those thoughts we find true affection for God and all that He’s done.
The God of Israel
Moses stands before us in Scripture as a man worthy of deep reflection. The Word of God declares that by faith he refused to be identified as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing instead to suffer affliction with the people of God rather than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin. He esteemed the reproach of Christ as greater riches than all the treasures of Egypt. Here was a man who saw beyond the present world and laid hold of eternal realities.
