82 It was not because of how good they were that God gave them the land. #60000thoughts #talkingtomyself
Deuteronomy 9:6 - “Understand, then, that it is not because of your righteousness that the Lord your God is giving you this good land to possess.”
Deuteronomy 10:13 - "Live in his presence in holy reverence, follow the road he sets out for you, love him, serve God, your God, with everything you have in you, obey the commandments and regulations of God that I'm commanding you today—live a good life." I'm seeing more and more in my thoughts and actions how I long to walk on the road that I think is a good one. One lane filled with successful ministry. A diverging path filled with faithful friends. A highway of children obedient to the truth. A road full of success. I don't want to not be noticed. What am I dealing with? Ambition? Do I want to be noticed more by my God than by my world? Because one Truth that is all over today's reading is that God is crossing the River before we do to take care of us and invite us to follow. But, the Truth is, it is not because of how good we are (Deut 9:6).
