Pleasing God Daily
Haggai 2:8 The silver is mine and the gold is mine,’ declares the LORD Almighty.
God already owns all the silver and the gold on the earth.
Q: So why would God demand us to give our tithes and offering (that He already owns) back to Him?
A: It’s for our benefit.
God uses our obedience through tithes and offering as another way to bless us. In Malachi 3:10-12 God gives multiple ways in how He will bless our lives because we give. God wants to see us blessed but, we must be obedient.
Be Blessed!
Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me.
1 John 1:9 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.
Each new moment is an opportunity to start over. God gives us an opportunity to repent, and start in a positive, new direction. Praise God for another chance to get it completely right and live unwaveringly for Him!!
Proverbs 18:22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD.
James 1:17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
Men- When we put God first in everything we do; He will direct us in finding a good wife. Not only will He direct us in finding a good wife but, a perfect wife for us according to James 1:17.
Women- If you are married have confidence in knowing you are a good and perfect thing. Don’t let your husband or the status of the marriage dictate how good you are.
*** The key to a happy marriage is submitting ourselves to God. When we submit ourselves to God it’s easier to submit to each other. I’m not saying it won’t take effort to manage a marriage however, if husbands and wives continue to put God first all marriages can be blessed.
Be Encouraged!
Psalm 55: 16 As for me, I call to God, and the LORD saves me. 18 He rescues me unharmed from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me.
Psalm 150:6 Let everything that breathes sing praises to the LORD! Praise the LORD!
1 Thessalonians 5: Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
No matter the circumstance, right in the midst of pain, joy, loss, gain, throughout every life experience, praise God. He is faithful. He is awesome. He is perfectly amazing and although He more than deserves our praise regardless, He rescues, saves, and claims us. Praise God!!
Ephesians 3:20 Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us,
Be Vessels
In order for God to do immeasurably more in our lives, it will have to be done by His power that works in us. This means we must be vessels for God’s power. Stop and ask yourself am I being a vessel for God?
Receive The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the source of the power that works in us (Acts 1:8). In order for God to do beyond great things in our lives, we must receive the Holy Spirit. We can be saved and considered Christians but, not receive the Holy Spirit (read Acts 19:2-4). Ask yourself have I received the Holy Spirit?
Check yourself because you don’t want anything to hold you back from God’s best.
Be Blessed!
Acts 17:24 “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.
James 1:17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
God is God alone. He cannot be confined. He needs nothing from us as He is the source of everything good. But, just like any great parent, God wants us to love Him. So, we give of ourselves (time, willpower) to God, and He is such an incredible source and God that He gives back to us. So, whatever we need, we seek God knowing that He is the source.
Romans 13:8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law.
Luke 16:11 Therefore if you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you?
It’s not God’s plan for His people to be in debit or struggling financially. God’s plan is that we are to be the lender and not the borrower. We are to be abundantly blessed in every area of our lives so that we can be a blessing to others.
We want the nice car, nice house, and nice clothes but, some of us won’t put in the work to have them debt free. We may buy a new phone or new clothes instead of paying the rent, electricity bill, or car note. We have to get our priorities straight.
For those who may be struggling financially and are in debt, seek Godly counsel in where your finances are concerned. Proverbs 1:5 says A wise man will hear and increase in learning, And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel.
Let’s be the debt free people God has called us to be.
Be Blessed!
Romans 12:1 “I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service”
A living sacrifice is when we as people of God commit to doing things God’s way. A living sacrifice is when we say “NO” to the flesh. Daily we sacrifice to our flesh. We say “NO” to all the temptations the devil throws our way.
A living sacrifice unto God refuses drugs and alcohol on those Friday and Saturday nights when our friends are going to the club. A living sacrifice resists the temptation of premarital sex when our body desires it. A living sacrifice shows kindness, compassion, and love in the face of those who treat us unkindly.
When we sacrifice ourselves unto God others will be inspired to do the same.
Be the inspiration for others.
Acts 17: 26 From one man he created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand when they should rise and fall, and he determined their boundaries. 27 “His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him—though he is not far from any one of us. 28 For in him we live and move and exist. As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
God created us. His purpose for us was that while living this earthly life, we would search for and find Him. He’s right there waiting for our attention – not that He needs it – but He loves us so much that He wants it. So, find life, meaning, and the best love ever in God.
Romans 3:22 says We are made right with God by putting our faith in Jesus Christ. That happens to all who believe.
1 Corinthians 1:30 Because of what God has done, you belong to Christ Jesus. He has become God’s wisdom for us. He makes us right with God. He makes us holy and sets us free.
We are only made righteous through the love of Jesus Christ. We can read the bible, pray, go to church; pay our tithes all the time but, that does not make us righteous. Doing all those things is what righteous people do.
A righteous person willingly pays their tithes. They willing pray and read the Bible. They do all the right things because it pleases God.
Praise God for Jesus who placed us in a right position to be righteous in the eyes of God.
Be Blessed!
We should speak to God throughout the day. But, when we sit down for our time of prayer, this method be a guide through what to say. This is not the only way to pray, but it helps when you’re not sure where to start.
ACTS
Adoration – acknowledge who He is (1 Chronicles 29: 10b “Praise be to you, LORD, the God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.
Confession – acknowledge who we are and obtain righteousness (1 John 1: 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.; James 5:16b The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
Thanksgiving – Thank Him for everything good (James 1:17a Every good and perfect gift is from above)
Supplication – Making requests known to God (Philippians 4:6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.)
Isaiah 3:10 Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.
This is not the first time in history where the world is affected by the economy. In fact, the Bible documents famines in the land. We often here pastors and ministers say that there’s a recession in the world but, it won’t affect the Body of Christ. Isaiah 3:10 gives these pastors and ministers the confidence to make that bold statement to the congregation.
God decreed through the prophet Isaiah it will be well with the righteous. When God decrees something, we can be assured it will come to pass. Even if the situation doesn’t seem well, trust God to know that ALL IS WELL.
But…… you have to be righteous.
Be Encouraged!
Ecclesiastes 7:16 Do not be overrighteous, neither be overwise— why destroy yourself? 17 Do not be overwicked, and do not be a fool—why die before your time? 18 It is good to grasp the one and not let go of the other. Whoever fears God will avoid all extremes.
We should exercise submission to God with a balance of humility in our abilities and full confidence in His. When we fear God, we operate with power and authority (Luke 10:19, Proverbs 18:21), but we balance that with love and grace (John 13:34). Praise God that we fear Him!
Philippians 3:13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Many of us are living our life in the past and we’re not thinking about the future. We tend to focus on negative memories instead of positive dreams. We should spend more time concentrating on our God inspired dreams and less time on things that should have been. Get inspired by God’s word to obtain dreams, desires, and all the promises God has for us.
Be Blessed!
Hebrews 13:16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
God called us to love and be a blessing to others. In this verse God directly called us to help the orphans and widows of the world.
Everyone wants to wait until they become millionaires to help those in need. The truth is we can start right now. We can start by giving $1, $5, or $10 to organizations that assist and help those in need. For those who don’t have money to spare, we can give our time by volunteering for these organizations.
When we make things happen for others, God makes things happen for us (Ephesians 6:8).
Be a Blessing!
Deuteronomy 10:12 “And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you? He requires only that you fear the LORD your God, and live in a way that pleases him, and love him and serve him with all your heart and soul.
When we truly love someone, we do things that make them happy. We unselfishly find ways to show our affections and appreciation for them. When asked, “do you love God?” It is automatic to respond, “yes.”
So, since we profess to love God, let’s find ways to unselfishly make Him happy. Let’s fear Him; let’s evaluate our actions – what we say, where we go, what we dwell on – to live in a way that pleases Him. So, let’s go beyond a holiday and live to love God!
Judges 16:26 Samson said to the servant who held his hand, “Put me where I can feel the pillars that support the temple, so that I may lean against them.”
When Samson’s eyes were blinded by the Philistines, he had to blindly trust a boy to guide him in the right direction. Logically, a person would wonder how Samson trusted anyone at all considering all the punishment he went through. At the end of the day Samson trusted the boy to lead him
Just as Samson blindly trusted the boy to guide him in the right direction, we should blindly trust God to guide us in the right direction. We may not know when, where, or how’s He’s going manifest our blessing but, we trust God. It may seem like nothing is happening or changing in our life but, we trust God.
Don’t think about it, just trust Him.
Be Blessed!
Philippians 3: 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ
We do not do things because ‘we feel like it’, or ‘it makes us happy’ or because ‘we want to’. We do things to honor God. When we honor God, we position ourselves to be blessed. We go beyond the vanity of the flesh, and we operate in the more powerful, spiritual realm. So, we choose to think about our actions and allow God to be the judge as opposed to allowing our flesh the authority meant only for God.
Genesis 3:17-19 – “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying ‘You shall not eat of it’: Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life. Both THORNS and thistles it shall bring forth for you, and you shall eat the herb of the field. In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground.”
Thousands of years after Adam sinned, Jesus Christ, the second Adam, was taken before the religious and political authorities to stand trial as a fraud and a heretic. On the way to Pilate, as they were mocking Jesus, “All hail, King of the Jews,” they saw a THORN bush –the symbol of the curse of poverty on the land. They took some of the THORN branches, wove them into a crown, and placed them on the brow of Jesus until the blood flowed from His head.
The symbol of poverty was placed on the brow of Jesus, the second Adam. When those THORNS pierced His brow, He shed His blood for our redemption from poverty.
We were cursed with poverty by the sweat of Adam’s brow, but we were redeemed from the curse of poverty by the blood on Jesus’ brow.
Now, by the power of the blood of Jesus, not only is the curse of poverty broken, but those who take the name of Jesus and claim His blood are anointed to prosper.

Be Blessed
Deuteronomy 10: 13 And you must always obey the LORD’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good.
Obeying God shows our love, respect, and priority for God. But God has given us certain commands because He knows what actions produce the best outcome. Just as you keep a child from burning their hand on the stove and instead redirect them to kinesthetic or learning toys, God calls us to obey to steer us away from sins that lead to destructive outcomes and to instead lead us to the prosperity that comes from obedience (Deuteronomy 28). Praise God for being such a great parent to us!
Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
John 14:15 “If you love me, you will obey what I command.
When we combine these scriptures we can safely say that all things work together for those who obey the Lord.
We can’t do what we want to do and still declare all things will work for our good. We have to walk in the will of God to have all things work for our good. We walk in God’s will by, loving others, treating people right, forgiving others, being a blessing, etc. Everything the word of God says we must do; do it.
Just know wherever there’s a promise or blessing in the word of God there’s a prerequisite of obedience.
Be blessed to be a blessing!
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
God uses His splendid power to create human life and those who live in sin are headed for eternal destruction.
God not only hates sin because it dishonors Him but because it destroys the very life He created. Do God and yourselves a favor, accept Jesus as Lord and Savior for eternal life, live a life pleasing to God, and be a witness to others about Jesus.
Be Blessed!
Jeremiah 7:23: But this thing I did command them: Listen to and obey My voice, and I will be your God and you will be My people; and walk in the whole way that I command you, that it may be well with you.
God made this command very clear for us. We are called to listen to and obey His voice and walk in His ways. But, God is so great, that He does not stop at our role, but continues on with an incentive. When we do what He commanded, then He will be our God and all will be well with us. The concept is really that simple.
So, now we work on the follow through, by saturating ourselves in His Word, so that when the enemy puts ideas, thoughts, and suggestions in our head, we can combat them with God’s Word and do what He commands so that all will be well with us in every aspect of our lives.
Proverbs 28:13 13 Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper,
but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.
God blesses those who worship Him in Spirit and in truth (John 4:24). We must confess ALL and I mean ALL our sins to God in order to prosper. We can’t rationalize, make excuses, or hide our sins to God in order to prosper.
We must be honest with ourselves and honest with God to receive God’s mercy (which comes through the blood of Jesus) and prosper.
Inspired by Pastor Creflo Dollar
Be Blessed!
Psalm 18:19He brought me forth also into a large place; He was delivering me because He was pleased with me and delighted in me. 20The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness (my conscious integrity and sincerity with Him); according to the cleanness of my hands has He recompensed me.
When we live for God, we walk in the blessings He has waiting for us. He rewards our righteousness (different from salvation, which only Jesus’s sacrifice could pay for). We are victorious, sustained, and elevated by the most-high God. Continue to walk righteously, and receive God’s blessings.
Jude 1:24 Now to Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present [you] unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight]–
25 To the one only God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory (splendor), majesty, might and dominion, and power and authority, before all time and now and forever (unto all the ages of eternity). Amen (so be it).
When we accept Christ into our lives we appear beautiful in the eyes of God. The blemish of sin is no longer stained on our lives. It’s the blood of Jesus that sets us apart and cleanses us from ALL unrighteousness.
It is through the blood of Jesus that keeps us from falling into death and destruction. It is through the blood of Jesus that we can be presented faultless to God with delight.
Praise God for the blood of Christ that saves all of our lives.
Be Blessed!
Luke 10: 17 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.” 18 He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
It’s a given that we have all power over evil. So, we exercise that power with regularity, not with timidity. We do not fear or fall prey to temptation, but we use our God-given authority and trample on the opposition to God’s path for us. And, we so fluidly defeat the enemy that we, instead, get to utilize our efforts in praising God for Who He is and for the knowledge that we get to spend eternal paradise with Him.
Deuteronomy 30:8 And you shall return and obey the voice of the Lord and do all His commandments which I command you today.
9 And the Lord your God will make you abundantly prosperous in every work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, of your cattle, of your land, for good; for the Lord will again delight in prospering you, as He took delight in your fathers,
10 If you obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this Book of the Law, and if you turn to the Lord your God with all your [mind and] heart and with all your being.
11 For this commandment which I command you this day is not too difficult for you, nor is it far off.
These are words to live by. All God wants us to do is obey Him and His word so that He may bless us. God even stated in verse 11 that it’s not a difficult task to complete but, it’s a task that will take effort. Make the effort to live right so that God can bless your life.
Be Blessed!
Exodus 14: 14″The LORD will fight for you while you keep silent.” 15Then the LORD said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the sons of Israel to go forward.
Let go of worry, frustration, discontentment, rage and choose instead to keep silent and remain calm. God has already got you covered. Let Him handle it/them. Just keep moving forward.
Deuteronomy 32:51 Because you broke faith with Me in the midst of the Israelites at the waters of Meribah-kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin and because you did not set Me apart as holy in the midst of the Israelites.
52For you shall see the land opposite you at a distance, but you shall not go there, into the land which I give the Israelites.
Reference: Numbers 27:14, Numbers 20:10-12
This is a perfect example of how our sin (going against God’s word) can keep us from having God’s best. Even though Moses was a great man of God, his sin kept him from experiencing the promise land.
This same rule applies in our lives. Our sin can keep us from experiencing God’s best. We have an advantage over Moses through the blood of Jesus Christ. Because Moses was living under the law, his sin disqualified him from having God’s best. We are living under grace, which means, if we sin we can freely ask for forgiveness and experience God’s best.
Live a life that is pleasing to God to experience the best God has to offer.
Be Blessed!
Psalm 34: 9 Fear the LORD, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing. 10 The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
When we are in lack, we do not remain satisfied with that condition. We continue to seek God first, and declare that according to His Word, because we seek and fear (obey, respect, honor) Him, we have no lack. And when we make a declaration by faith, we believe it. For faith is the confirmation of what cannot yet be seen (Hebrews 11:1); it is the proof that it is done.
The devil is not just going to sit back and watch the people of God received all that God has for us. The devil’s job is to make us live in doubt, fear, and uncertainty of God’s ability to execute His promises. The devil’s job is to make us believe that what God said in His word won’t come to pass.
That’s why we must fight the good fight of faith.
1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
How do we fight the fight of faith?
We believe God’s word when things don’t appear to be working.
We confess God’s word daily until we believe what it says.
We pray to God continually to cast our anxieties, worries, and cares on God.
We seek the Holy Spirit for guidance in every situation.
We thank God in every situation (good or bad).
When we are persistent fighters of faith, we are guaranteed the prize of promises.
Be Blessed!
Deuteronomy 15:5, 6
5 If only you carefully listen to the voice of the Lord your God, to do watchfully all these commandments which I command you this day.
6 When the Lord your God blesses you as He promised you, then you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; and you shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over you.
Everyone wants to be blessed by God and experience the blessed prosperous life having surplus in every area. In Deuteronomy 28:1-14, there are multiple blessings God wants us to acquire.
In order to have all these God promised blessings, there is a prerequisite. The prerequisite to promised blessings is obedience. We must be obedient in every area of our life from, loving God, to loving others, to truly forgiving others, to walking in the ways of righteousness, and more. Everything the Word of God says to do we must do in order to experience God’s promised blessings.
Be obedient to God and have the life you’ve always dreamed of and the life God desires for His people.
Be Blessed!
(Remember to visit https://everydaygodswill.wordpress.com/)
Deuteronomy 6:5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
This is a very familiar verse where God instructs us to love Him with ALL our heart, soul, and strength. Let’s look at this scripture a little closer to see what God is truly saying to us.
Q: Why would God need to place the word ALL in front of heart, soul, and strength?
Could it be because some of us don’t love God with our ALL? If everyone automatically gave their ALL to God, there would be no need for God to add the word ALL in the text. By adding the word ALL signifies that people can partially love God.
Q: How people partially Love God?
A: By not fully obeying His word. At times walking in obedience and other times disobedience.
John 14:15 states “If you love me, you will obey what I command. We can say we love God multiple times but, until we are obedient our love can never be truly shown.
In order for us to experience God’s best in our lives we have to give Him our ALL. God has already given us His all with His Son Jesus. Our desire should be to match His ALL (Jesus) with our ALL (obedience)
Be obedient in ALL things because partial obedience = disobedience.
Be Obedient!
Job 22:28 You will succeed in whatever you choose to do, and light will shine on the road ahead of you. 29If people are in trouble and you say, ‘Help them,’ God will save them. 30Even sinners will be rescued; they will be rescued because your hands are pure.”
When we live for God, what we decree shall be done. God has given us so much power that we can intercede for others, and even they will be delivered. Exercise your power and start declaring positive even in negative circumstances, and expectantly await the manifestation of your God-aligned words.
Colossians 2:13 And you who were dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh (your sensuality, your sinful carnal nature), [God] brought to life together with [Christ], having [freely] forgiven us all our transgressions,
14 Having cancelled and blotted out and wiped away the handwriting of the note (bond) with its legal decrees and demands which was in force and stood against us (hostile to us). This [note with its regulations, decrees, and demands] He set aside and cleared completely out of our way by nailing it to [His] cross.
15[God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross].
God is The Judge (Acts 17:31)
At one point in time before Jesus saved us all, Satan held us captive through our sin. Satan was like the “prosecuting attorney” informing The Judge of all our wrongdoings. Since God is a fair Judge and there was no “defense attorney” we all lost the case and were destined for death (not life) in hell.
Thank God we now have a “defense attorney” named Jesus. Jesus took our place and died on the cross for our sins. Jesus placed the sins of the world on His shoulders. When Jesus placed His sacrificial unblemished blood upon the mercy seat of God, we were completely forgiven of all our sins. So even if we do sin, when we ask for forgiveness, He (God) is faithful to forgive us of our sins.
Good News!
2 Corinthians 2:14But thanks be to God, Who in Christ always leads us in triumph [as trophies of Christ’s victory] and through us spreads and makes evident the fragrance of the knowledge of God everywhere,
1 Corinthians 15: 57But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory [making us conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Are you familiar with the saying, “You win some, you lose some?” That does not apply for us. We ALWAYS win. Even in the bleakest moments, remember that God’s people ALWAYS win. Even, when we make a mistake, we repent and give it back to God, and He still prospers us (Psalm 1:3). So, in every situation, audibly declare God’s Word over it, “I always win according to 1 Corinthians 15!”
Matthew 12:34 For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh.
Whatever you allow to control your mind will control your imagination, and whatever you speak comes from your imagination. Friends, there is need for us to empty our minds of all filthiness and start to feeding on things that are positive, true, and honest.
As you start to feed on things that are true, honest, and of good reports, you are on your way to bringing down every satanic imagination and putting him under your feet. GOD’s word is perfect and sure. The Law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. (Psalms 19:7) Whatever GOD says about you can never be altered if your mind is stay on HIM alone. No force or spirit can change that which HE has decreed about you if only your mind is right with HIM.
Micah 7: 18 Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. 19 You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.
We are pardoned, forgiven, and our sins removed and forgotten (not just covered up, but erased). We are subject to a merciful, compassionate God who has declared us heirs to His inheritance (everything good and perfect (James 1:17)). Praise God for God-given rights and mercies!!
Exodus 32:11 But Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Lord, why does Your wrath blaze hot against Your people, whom You have brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and a mighty hand?
13 [Earnestly] remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants, to whom You swore by Your own self and said to them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give to your seed, and they shall inherit it forever.
14 Then the Lord turned from the evil which He had thought to do to His people.
Summary:
God delivered His people (the Israelites) from the land of Egypt. In spite of God’s deliverance, the Israelites decided to turn their back on God and create, praise, and worship an idol god. God plans to destroy His people and Moses desperately intercedes on their behalf to spare their lives.
When we observe our friends, family, and enemies who need prayer we can step in the gap and intercede on their behalf. We all know someone who may need deliverance from some addiction, an increase in finances, or the God kind of peace in their lives. Instead of gossiping and spreading these people’s life story to everyone we should be interceding on their behalf through prayer.
We can all pray for ourselves but, don’t forget to sincerely pray for others.
Be Blessed!
