A Little Walk With God

A daily devotional through the Bible speaking with God as Adam and Eve may have in the garden east of Eden. Our website http://alittlewalkwithgod.com

So many today think they cannot live the life God has asked you to live. They forget He sent His Spirit to live inside you to give you assistance. He can help you and guide you. He can give you the strength you need to withstand temptation, but most often God gives you a way of escape. What most people do, though, is fail to look for the way of escape. Instead, they try to withstand the blast from Satan in their own strength...and fail.

"Vengeance is Mine," says the Lord. It was true during the most violent times of ancient biblical history and is still true today. The laws that meet out punishment for crime are necessary to keep order in society, but ultimately, God will dole out the appropriate punishment for the sins and evil of the world. Vengeance is and always will be His and belongs to no one else.

Just as you would help a child grow to maturity by keeping them from dangerous activities at an early age, God expectx you to keep His infant children from things that are dangerous spiritually. For instance, you don’t let children play with fire or knives. So don’t entice His spiritual children with things that may become harmful to them in their infancy. That’s the message Paul shares with his readers.

Trust God. He can do all things. Something that looks impossible to you, if He's told you to do it, He'll be with you and together with you will make it happen. He just wants you to allow yourself to be an instrument in His hands. He knows what you are capable of much better than you. Remember He made you. He also knows how best to use you to complete His plan on earth. So make yourself available to Him. That’s all you need to do. He'll do the rest through you. Just believe in Him and let Him take care of everything else.

Joshua and the rest of the Israelite elders didn’t ask God about the Gibeonites when they came into the camp. They didn’t inquire about the treaty this “far-away” people wanted to make with them. They just looked at the outward appearance of the entourage, believed what they saw, and made a foolish judgment. You see what can happen when you don’t include God in your decisions? But that’s the way with humankind.

It’s time to clean up God's church. Does that mean He doesn’t want you to reach out to the lost and bring them in? No, God wants you to witness to them. He wants you to share His message with them. He wants you to introduce them to Him. God doesn’t want them to parade around as His followers until they have given themselves to Him, though. It soils His Name and His Name means something to Him. In fact, calling yourself by His Name and behaving in a way contrary to His decrees violates the Third Commandment. It uses His Name in vain! It tarnishes His reputation to a lost world. There are severe consequences for those actions. Don’t be a part of it.

Paul learned that he doesn’t have the power it takes to overcome the evil of the world. Were he to try to stop the violence, persecution, and slander aimed at him, it would only multiply. Paul never had the strength to stand against his enemies. He didn’t stand a chance against them. But God did. And He still does. When Paul was left for dead, God revived him. When Paul faced the critics in the arena, God gave him the words to say to counter their arguments. When Paul stood before kings, God spoke through him with just the right information so they were astounded by his knowledge.

David talked about meditating on God's word in his songs. Moses encouraged the Israelites to do so. Jesus resisted temptation in the wilderness by the use of scripture. Paul complimented the Berean’s for their searching the scriptures. He reminded Timothy to preach the word. God's word must become a constant source of information for you. It is His guidebook for your life. He wants you to read it and know it. The more you engage in His word, the more you will learn of Him and His plan for you.

Moses isn’t the only person for whom God has a special plan in mind. He has a special plan for everyone who will listen and obey Him. He may not ask you to lead His children out of bondage, but He will ask you to do things very far outside your comfort zone. Don’t worry about it, though. God will always be with you to work through you and accomplish His plan. He's given you just the right gifts - talents, skills, and experiences - to accomplish what He planned for you. No one else has the same combination of gifts you have, so no one can do what He planned for you like you can. Trust Him to help you.

David prayed and God rescued him. But he also shared an important principle that God sometimes uses in preparing you for your earthly journey. In the very first of David’s song, he thought God didn’t hear him for a long time. It’s not true. He heard him, He just delayed answering him. He needed David to realize he could do absolutely nothing to get himself out of the desperate position he was in before God came to his rescue.
