Wonderfully made

“A woman is not to wear men’s clothing, and a man is not to put on women’s clothing, for whoever does these things is detestable to Adonai your God.”
Deuteronomy 22:5 CJB

God has given us simple instructions on how to follow Him! Why should we listen to them? Because He made us!

“For You fashioned my inmost being, You knit me together in my mother’s womb.”
Psalm 139:13 CJB

God knows everything about us and He knows what is good and bad for us! The amazing thing is we can read His word everyday and know what He thinks of us and how we are to live for Him!

“Your Word is a lamp for my foot and light on my path.”
Psalm 119:105 CJB

Get into the word of God and seek His thoughts and plans to guide your day!
May your day be richly blessed!

Be kind

“No, he must acknowledge as firstborn the son of the unloved wife by giving him a double portion of everything he owns, for he is the first fruits of his manhood, and the right of the firstborn is his.”
Deuteronomy 21:17 CJB

Even though this is speaking of having two wives, loving one and disliking the other, it really is about fairness and not having favorites!

“Then you will become children of your Father in heaven. For He makes His sun shine on good and bad people alike, and He sends rain to the righteous and unrighteous alike.”
Matthew 5:45 CJB

Understand as God doesn’t show favoritism, neither should we!

“Adonai is good to all; His compassion rests on all His creatures.”
Psalm 145:9 CJB

God is good to all. We really need to do the same, by being kind to others! God will deal with evil and unjust people!
Have a blessed day being kind and fair to others!

Be bold!

“The officials will then add to what they have said to the soldiers: ‘Is there a man here who is afraid and fainthearted? He should go back home; otherwise his fear may demoralize his comrades as well.'”
Deuteronomy 20:8 CJB

The point here isn’t to make an excuse not to go to battle, but if their heart isn’t right or they are distracted with other things, then they would be better off staying home! God doesn’t want them half hearted people, He wants to be bold and totally sold out for Him!

“Be strong, be bold, don’t be afraid or frightened of them, for Adonai your God is going with you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.”
Deuteronomy 31:6 CJB

Everywhere we go God has gone before us to prepare the way, so we have nothing to be afraid of!

“For I, Adonai, your God, say to you, as I hold your right hand, Have no fear; I will help you.”
Isaiah 41:13 CJB

So let’s be bold knowing God has you by the hand guiding and leading you everywhere you go!
May your day be richly blessed!

Be a witness

“One witness alone will not be sufficient to convict a person of any offense or sin of any kind; the matter will be established only if there are two or three witnesses testifying against him.”
Deuteronomy 19:15 CJB

God really makes it hard to be a false witness, in order to not have people falsely convicted! That’s why my word against your word doesn’t work! God set this up this safeguard, so people wouldn’t be falsely accused! We all need to be careful of false witnessing! Two or three witnesses is always necessary!

“He who tells the truth furthers justice, but a false witness furthers deceit.”
Proverbs 12:17 CJB

We need to hear truth, but also tell truth and stay away from false witnesses! How? One of the best ways is proclaiming the goodness of God!

“Proclaim with me the greatness of Adonai; let us exalt His name together.”
Psalm 34:3 CJB

The best way to stay away from false and evil ways is by sharing the greatness of Adonai!
May you have a blessed day being a witness for God and proclaiming His truth!
