God's Power

God to be praised for His goodness and power.  David praiseth God.   Blessings of fearing God.   Wait on the LORD our God.   He is our help and shield.   Psalm 33:18-20

Everlasting to Everlasting

Exhortation to bless God for His mercy.  He will bless children's children to those who keep His covenant & commandments.   KJV Psalm 103:17,18

You Are God's Choice ... Deuteronomy 10:12-22

Often we ask why, "what does God expect of me?" Here Moses gives a summary that is simple in form and easy to remember. Here are the essentials: (1) fear God (have reverence for him). (2) walk in his ways. (3) Love him with all your heart. How often we complicate faith with man-made rules, regulations, and requirement. Are you frustrated and burned out from trying hard to please God? Concentrate on his real requirements and find peace, respect, and love.

God required all male Israelites to be circumcised, but he wanted them to go beyond performing the surgery to understanding its meaning. They needed to summit to God inside, in their hearts as well as outside, in their bodies. If our hearts are right with God, then our relationship with other people can be made right too. When your heart has been cleansed and you have been reconciled to God, you will begin to see a difference in the way you treat others.
