Deuteronomy 5:28-29King James Version (KJV)
28 And the Lord heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and the Lord said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken.
29 O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!
Dear Friends,
The Lord had spoken to the children of Israel through Moses and continued to leadership to them through Moses for many years. As it often is the people often questioned the leadership of Moses and there were times when they were accepting of the message he brought forth. Such is the case in the highlighted verses. In verse twenty-nine hear the word of the Lord:
- O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever
Reading these words today the Holy Spirit whispered to me to cry out "Speak to Our Hearts." Oh that we would set that petition before the Lord to speak to our hearts to let us know His will. Yes. But moreover speak to our hearts so that we may know the compassion you require and desire for us to exhibit empathy for one another. We read the scriptures and we can have the zeal of God but lack the knowledge to move forward in living right if we do not open our hearts to perform the works. "Faith without works is dead."
Speak to our hearts today God. Speak to our hearts. Show us how to move forward in the power of Your might. Speak to our hearts Lord. Let us have a heart of reverence, a desire to keep your commandments that it will be well with us and with our children. Lord God speak to our hearts.
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie
