Yesterday I began reading about the Israelites and their journey to the promised land. Today, I was listening to Christian radio and there was a segment on the topic.
I was directed to think on the topic. What has God promised to me? So many things...He will be with us always, and He is not slow to fulfill what He's spoken. He gives us promises, and our response is to be carried into them. Our response needs to be love. God's demand is simple. He gave us a new commandment, that we love one another. This love, for others but especially for Him, is required if we want to see the Word dwell in us. If we want to be sure of the validity of His promises, then we need to be filled with His love.
We can enter the promised land every moment. Let's remember God, and His mighty power. Let's abide in His Love. Let's act like children of the light and acknowledge that His light is all we need.
God had me realize today that what He requires is enough. Knowing that I can please Him is enough. If I please Him, I have accomplished everything important. If I know He is pleased with me, I can ask Him and believe, I can return to His promises. I can enter into the Promised Land. His requirements become simple as we get to know Him. He doesn't give us only commands; that wouldn't be right. He gives us a desire to walk with Him. Let's do what He's shown us is good, and walk humbly with our God. He can always be trusted to cause us to break through.
