Deut 11-13 Walk in the Later

March 3rd, Deuteronomy 11-13,

       When I look around the news, my world, life stories I hear, not only in our culture but from around the world there is one thing I notice. The thing I notice is probably not what God has intended for us. I see people all the time trying to fix it. Most can't and the ones who want  to give off the impression that they have, aren't doing as well as they think. The ones who have solved the riddle for real don't look anything like those who think they have.
       God in his word makes it clear that there is a strong link between two things. Cause and effect. The effect is something most desire, the cause is what trips us up the most. But there is no way of short circuiting the cause to get to the effect. Deuteronomy 11:8...
     
       "Observe therefore all the commands I am giving you today, SO THAT you may have strength to go in and take over the land you are crossing over the Jordan to possess."
     
       Obedience =strength. In God's economy these two things are never separated from one another. Like "love and marriage, they go together like a horse and carriage." You can't have one without the other.
        God wants us to be people of strength. Many people are seeking ways out of weakness, many have given up because they don't know how. Today's passage shows us the way and invites us in.  Disobedience leads to weakness which compounds itself over time.  Obedience leads to strength which compounds itself over time. Let's walk in the later together!!
