"If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth." Deut 28:1
i was just thinking:
obedience to God is so difficult sometimes - when you get angry, when you get irritated, when you get upset, when things dont go the way you want it to, when all fails and you just feel like there's no hope, when life seems like its all gone wrong, when you get bullied, when you feel wronged, when you feel tempted, when you need to speak up but you are afraid and there's just so many more scenarios that its not funny.
i just thank God that He's such a gracious and forgiving God in these times where we forget to obey, forget to listen to His calming voice. i thank You for Your everlasting love:
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away." 1st cor 13:4-8
now its my turn to reflect His love.
a shout of praise.
