Mon’s Devo - Great Reminders

Read Deut. 31:1-32:27, Luke 12:8-34, Ps. 78:32-55, Pr. 12:21-23 Moses is about to die and God gives him His last words. God admonishes them three times to be strong and courageous because He will give them the land. He also tells them that they will forget God and fall into sin, but when they repent, God will be there to pick them up. God gave Moses a song that was to be memorized to remind them of God’s plans and man’s ways. It was to be a road map back to Him when they strayed away. Every seven years they were to read the whole law at the Feast of Tabernacles. In Luke, we are in the middle of one of Jesus’ sermon. He gives us some key nails to hang our lives on. One of them is that confessing God is vital to our future. Another is that we don’t ever have to worry about what to say, because we have the Holy Spirit who will tell us what needs to be said. A third great nail is that life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things we possess. Our abundance lies in our relationship with Him. But if we seek Him first, then all those things will be added. But, my favorite is found in verse 32: “Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Lord, help us to seek Your kingdom first today.
