Continuing to look at verses of Scripture containing the word foundation is prompting today’s post.

Exodus 9:17-19 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

(vii) 17 Since you are still setting yourself up against my people and not letting them go, 18 tomorrow, about this time, I will cause a hailstorm so heavy that Egypt has had nothing like it from the day it was founded until now. 19 Therefore, send and hurry to bring indoors all your livestock and everything else you have in the field. For hail will fall on every human being and animal left in the field that hasn’t been brought home, and they will die.”’”

via Exodus 9:17-19 CJB – (vii) Since you are still setting – Bible Gateway.

And who of us does not see GRACE in the Old Testament? This passage was addressed to the Pharaoh and was delivered by Moses. I encourage you to read the whole of Exodus 9. Particularly verse 8 – ashes from the kiln. If you don’t think GOD is awesome, you don’t know Him! Back to today’s point. GRACE.

Grace in the Old Testament. As I said this passage was at the time addressed to the Pharaoh (and now we have it for our learning – I am so glad!). The vile man who refused again and again to let Israel go. And yet GOD gave an OUT to ANY who would listen! That is grace, my Friends! Our GOD is the AWESOME GOD of Grace in the Old Covenant and the New Covenant.

ABBA, thank You. Thank You for Your Word that reveals Your Grace to us. Grace in a place that some have accused You of having none; thank You that You have revealed truth.
And in particular I asked in a certain place that truth be revealed today. Thank You for knowing, ABBA. Thank You for taking us back again today to the word foundation. Help us build well today on The Foundation of Life.
And for each Reader coming to this page, I pray for truth to be revealed and Your Grace to be experienced; grace that will lead to softened hearts; hearts that will gladly yield to You; for in yielding to You, ABBA, we are truly free.
I pray for comfort, for helps of every kind and sort, for healings of illnesses, diseases, and broken hearts as needed for each dear Soul gathering here. And I pray for the rescue of children in and out of wombs, for the bondage of sex trafficking to be broken and destroyed, for the protection and peace of Israel, for the repentance and restoration of America and for the Bride of CHRIST to bow before You and receive strength and Will to rise to her feet and tell Your GOOD NEWS. Amen and amen.

Day 17 – Soul Detox

Exodus 4:1-17

Devotional

Fear is having faith, but it’s placing your faith in the wrong things. Fear is placing your faith in the “what ifs”. So much of our fears are focused on things that may or may not happen. There is no reason to fear things that might not even happen. Even people in the Bible struggled in fearing their own “what ifs”. You will read today about Moses’ “what if” fear and how God gave him strength to overcome his fear.

What are some of the “what ifs” that fuel your fears?

Isn’t that startling? Fear is faith – misplaced faith. (perhaps a question to ponder is in whom is our faith placed when we fear?) When we fear a thing we are believing it will happen, even though it has not. Christian Faith is believing GOD. Believing HE will do what HE says HE will do.  Hmmm.

“What ifs”

What are my what ifs?

What if it doesn’t work?
What if he/she will not listen?
What if he/she is hurt?

There are other variations but when boiled down they are all akin? What if this does not end up the way I want it?

And the answer? FAITH – TRUST. Trust the GOD who loves me and loves them even more than I do.

Faith overcomes Fear.  Take a look at Moses (Moshe). He RECOILED at the snake but yet he obeyed and picked it up by the tail even as he was told. Faith gave COURAGE to overcome the fear.  And from personal experience, the fear did not go away BEFORE the action.  There’s a lesson here. Many lessons here.

2 Adonai answered him, “What is that in your hand?” and he said, “A staff.”
3 He said, “Throw it on the ground!” and he threw it on the ground. It turned into a snake, and Moshe recoiled from it.
4 Then Adonai said to Moshe, “Put your hand out and take it by the tail.” He reached out with his hand and took hold of it, and it became a staff in his hand.

via Exodus 4:1-17 CJB – Moshe replied, “But I’m certain – Bible Gateway.

5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. 6 And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’  . . .

via Ex 19 NKJV – Israel at Mount Sinai – In the third – Bible Gateway.

A special treasure to Me above all people.

Yes, Yahweh was talking to Israel when these words were penned by Moses in the Book of Exodus.

But who else was/is The GREAT I AM talking to here?

Galatians 3:29 New King James Version (NKJV)

29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

via Galatians 3:29 NKJV – And if you are Christ’s, then you are – Bible Gateway.

Does that help explain?

Who do you see in verse 29 of Galatians 3? Who is Abraham’s seed? Who are the heirs?

So tell me, is one of those ‘yous’ among that ‘Special Treasure’ YOU? Why? Or why not?

So what does that mean to you? Do you anticipate some soon coming changes as you embrace this truth? 

Just thinking . . . hope you are too now.  

Blessings to you Dear Friends for a prodigious weekend :)  +++

Remember YOU have the God-given RIGHT to do right in this wrong world!
