And I will walk in and with and among you and be your GOD!!!

You shall keep My Sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary. I am the Lord. If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments and do them, I will give peace in the land; you shall lie down and none shall fill you with dread or make you afraid; and I will clear ferocious (wild) beasts out of the land, and no sword shall go through your land. For I will be leaning toward you with favor and regard for you, rendering you fruitful, multiplying you, and establishing and ratifying My covenant with you.

I will set My dwelling in and among you, and My soul shall not despise or reject or separate itself from you. And I will walk in and with and among you and will be your God, and you shall be My people. I am the Lord your God, Who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that you should no more be slaves; and I have broken the bars of your yoke and made you walk erect [as free men]. Leviticus 26:2,3,6,9,11,12,13,

I find it refreshing to think that by simply obeying God, our life receives all the peace, favor, acceptance, and even more the presence of God walking with us and being his people. How this contrasts from when we are disobedient post resurrection where God's beautiful grace is abused and not respected. Interesting how we quickly forget the need to Fear God in His Holiness and His desire for us to have a fully abundant life through choosing a life of obedience. This week choose a loving relationship with your creator.

Questions to think about this week...

1. Where have I been obedient to God lately as He has spoken to me by the power of the Holy Spirit?

2. In what ways have I ignored or been disobedient to the voice of the Lord in my life recently?

3. What things can I do in my life this week to be more obedient to his voice the first time I hear Him speak?

Blessings from Northern Israel,
Todd
