Entertain This In Our Heart

Deuteronomy 4:32-40


"For ask now concerning the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and ask from one end of heaven to the other, whether any great thing like this has happened, or anything like it has been heard. 33 Did any people ever hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live? 34 Or did God ever try to go and take for Himself a nation from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? 35 To you it was shown, that you might know that the Lord Himself is God; there is none other besides Him. 36 Out of heaven He let you hear His voice, that He might instruct you; on earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words out of the midst of the fire. 37 And because He loved your fathers, therefore He chose their descendants after them; and He brought you out of Egypt with His Presence, with His mighty power, 38 driving out from before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land as an inheritance, as it is this day. 39 Therefore know this day, and consider it in your heart, that the Lord Himself is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other. 40 You shall therefore keep His statutes and His commandments which I command you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for all time.”


We need to embrace and understand that we have been placed on earth to serve God, and God alone.  Moses, wanted us to get this into our brains and hearts, that God lives and there is no other.  He says, ask from one end of heaven to the other, whether any great thing like this has happened, or anything like it has been heard. Did anyone ever hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as they have heard and live? Verses 32-33.  Great and mighty things our God wants to show us today, signs, wonders, and miracles are the works He would like to perform before our earthly eyes.  However, this can only be done with a direct obedience to His word.  As we've read from the terrors satan and God placed upon Egypt, God hardening Pharos heart, showed He has the last word.  If God be for us, who can come against us.  The wars and terrors that are going on today are unnecessary.  God wants His children free from the hands of satan, and the lifting of hands to Him.  We are in our own cities and countries, divided against one another and it's heartbreaking.  Most of our world is moving to its own beat and God is showing His vengeance, against His children who wont obey.  This is God's world, not ours to destroy and come against another as strangers.  There are statues, commandments, and fruits of His Spirit that we are to learn to bring peace to ourselves.  We are to be multiplying peace and love to prolong our days on earth.  Wealth and success from Him should be taking up our time until He comes back for us.  Verse 39, "Therefore know this day, and consider it in your heart, that the Lord Himself is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other."  Entertain this in our heart. 


(Ephesians 6:14-15 Amp:)  "Stand therefore...having shod your feet in preparation (to face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the good news) of the Gospel of peace." 


Blessings to all who put God in their hearts,
