Victory Belongs to the Lord

Joshua 5 & 6

Inspired thots

It is the Lord who is the Captain of the army; He leads His people into victory and gives them the best if they were to follow Him and obey His instructions... strange it may seem. But that is how the Lord works; Ex 15:11
"Who, among the gods, is like You O Lord? Who is like You? Majesty in Holiness, Awesome in Glory; Working Wonders!"

With God, there is Victory, Protection and Provision; every Blessing!

Awesome God

Joshua 2-4

Inspired thots

God is God in heaven above and on the earth below. He does wonders and blesses His people. The enemies' hearts melt in fear of God when they hear about His great deeds.

Rahab was smart to cut a deal with the spies to save her own life and the lives of her loved ones.

A Legacy

Deuteronomy 34

Inspired thots

Moses left a legacy after performing all that the Lord commanded him to do with the Israelites; yet he was not infallible. His main error was at the Rock of Marah when he dishonored God's holiness in the sight of Israel ~ a point to be grasped. He may be out of the promised land of Canaan but he was not out of the heavenly promised land. 

God is very good; He does not always chide. He loves. He forgives. 

How would our lives end? Would we be remembered by others? What would I regret? This year there shall be  NO regrets as I ask the Lord for His grace to carry me through each day to His glory.

God's Words are LIFE

Deuteronomy 31 & 32

Inspired thots

When we listen to God and do according to His Words, we are choosing Life; and God will go before us ~ never leaving nor forsaking us! (31:6)


We must be courageous to hear and do God's words; they are life. Choose Life ~ God's life; God's ways.


(32:39) It is GOD who put to death and bring to life; He wounds and He heals. There is no god besides Him.


God's words are not idle ~ they are life; no wonder in John 10:10 Jesus proclaim Life and life abundantly for His sheep. God is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Choose LIFE

Deuteronomy 30

Inspired thots

There are only TWO options with God : Life and Death.

With Life comes Prosperity in the Lord;with Death comes Destruction. (v15)

The basic Living tenets are:
1) Return to the Lord
2) Obey Him with all your heart and soul
3) Love Him with all your heart and soul
4) Walk in His ways
5) Keep His commands, decrees and laws

Then blessings of God will flow to His children and their children. It does not stop at one generation; how important then to note that one generation's heart impacts another generation.

The Lord is your Life... and He will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers.
