Word Wednesday #94

And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. 
Genesis 22:12
Abraham loved God enough to obey Him…above his only son. Yet how often do I struggle to obey God when it means sacrificing my dreams and projects for just a short time? Abraham obeyed, unable to see the future. Yet I like to balance the pros and cons before maybe, possibly, obeying. Oh Lord, help me to have a heart more dedicated to following You!!

Word Wednesday #93

Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. 
Genesis 19:22
Man prevented God from working–not because God is powerless, but because He is merciful.
But still…is my disobedience hindering God from what He wants to do in my life?

Word Wednesday #92

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. 
Malachi 4:2

Our duty: to be faithful to fear
The promise: Christ will heal and bless
We are just to be faithful to God and obey Him.

Word Wednesday #91

Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. 
Zechariah 4:6
We like to ask God for more of His might and power…but when have we asked Him for more of His Spirit?

Word Wednesday #90

Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction. 
Habakkuk 1:12
A reminder of Who God is, and how He is at work in every aspect of life. Things do not accidentally slip by His notice, but He allows things to happen for our judgment and correction.

Word Wednesday #88

And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you. 
Jonah 1:12
A reminder that our actions and choices affect others–and that others very well may suffer for our decisions. However…God could turn around the effects of our choices to where He is glorified: “Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.” Jonah 1:16

Word Wednesday #87

And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.  Amos 7:15
God called Amos from where he was.

For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 
1 Corinthians 1:26-27

Word Wednesday #86

Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.  Hosea 10:13
Read backwards: “because didst trust in thy way, ye have plowed wickedness, reaped iniquity, eaten the fruit of lies.” It is rooted in trusting in our own way–not God’s way.

Word Wednesday #85

But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.  Hosea 1:7

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.  Psalms 20:7

I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.  Psalms 71:16
Reminder after reminder of having the Lord as our strength, the Lord as our “weapon.”
