Give Me A Heart Like Thine

Give Me A Heart Like Thine

By: Juliet Constantine



In that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess. (Deuteronomy 30:16)
 

While God loves us unconditionally, His blessings seems to be on condition of our obedient response to Him. Throughout the Israelites journeys and the condition of their settlement in the promised land, their blessings was dependent on their "contract" with God. Their part in the contract was just to be obedient to God. This seems a very simple request, but many died as a result of disobedient.

Today, the promise has not changed. God has promised to bless us and to make our lives a blessing - but we must be obedient to continuously enjoy His rich blessings.

Yes, His blessings do extend to the just and the unjust; He causes His sun to shine on everyone; but there is a special blessing for those who are obedient. It may not seem that way now - given your present circumstances - but God cannot lie. Your situation may be a blessing in disguise. Just remain faithful, and God's blessings and wisdom will be revealed, in time.

Lord, give me a heart like thine. Dear Father, thank you for the reminder, as recorded in Deuteronomy 28, of blessings in obedience. Please help us to be obedient to you, not just to receive your blessings, but out of a heart of love. Please provide our food for today and grant us victories, is our asking in Jesus' name, amen.

Think Twice
Like the Jewish nation of old, God has sent many evidences for you to believe in Him. If you reject the Bible, there is nature which speaks so loudly of the One, bigger than you and me, who holds this world in space. No scientist can explain God’s complex creation and maintenance system. The Darwin theory is just that – a theory... that has been pulled apart and found wanting. But God’s creation still stands a mystery to the most brilliant minds.
Two Laws (Response to David Lynn)
Are there two laws? Does the Bible make a distinction between the Law of God and the Law of Moses? What does the Biblical evidence have to say? John Spellman expounds on the two laws with thorough details and Biblical evidence.

Trials are not all bad. You can profit from it. Just like risks – proper management can turn them into opportunities - the same is true for trials. Successfully overcoming your trials does produce a Fruit of the Spirit in your life. There are various levels of trails, and each level gets more challenging. If you fail any level, you will have to retake it until you’ve passed. You cannot get to the next level until you’ve successfully passed the previous one.
