Who do you lean upon?

   I'll leave names out, but today I found out this "Seasoned International' footballerleft his club because 2 fellow team mates lleft and went on to pastures new, now that thier contracts were up. These guys had been with the football club just shy of a decade each, have won everything at club level.

   This other guy got hurt at them leaving his club, he too now has decided to leave this football club as well. 

   Now why am I telling you this, it's to say this guy was wrong for leavingas well. It was to ask you this . . ."Who do you lean on when - things don't go your way? - or - When faced with forced uncertainty? - or - you have to make difficult decisions? 

   The first thing we must count oh what joy it is to be saved ...(1)  “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”31 So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved" ... the second thing is to know that (2) "You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world". Meaning no matter what trials - obstacles; or 100,000 strong army at the door, GOD is bigger, stronger, and wiser than what ever this World has in store, for He is greater.

   Tell me is this not the only one you nee to leaning on? The one who created the Sun Moon & Stars. surely God can help. All He asks in return is that you have believe & have faith in Him. His measure for us is .. (3)  "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” Surly you can see God is the only one to whom we lean upon!

 1: [NKJ] Acts 16:25 “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”31 So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved"

2: [NKJ] 1 John 4:4 "You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world"

3: [NKJ] Luke 6:38 "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

What does it Mean

    iii .. Dont Forgeet 

It is simple that a fool could follow. We are shown in such simple terms that in V6&7, you are told in no fewer than 10 times .. Deuteronomy 6:6&9 ... 1] These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 2] Impress them on your children. 3]Talk about them when you sit at home and 4] when you walk along the road, 5]when you lie down and 6] when you get up. 7]Tie them as sy mbols on your hands and 8] bind them on your foreheads. 9] Write them on the door frames of your houses and 10] on your gates. … as you can see no matter your personal persuasion for remembering, you could add the list with many more ways of not forgetting to pray.

   

   God must have thought it important that in both Chapters 6 & 11, in Deuteronomy, they are verbatim (in other words ‘word for word’). So if you want to remember how do You do it? .. [Repeat over and over] .. have the verse pinned up somewhere? If not, don’t just poohoo the idea, after all it is the living word God, emphasis on ‘Living’. Just because the Bible is thousands of years old, it is as relevant today as it was when it was written. All God want is for us to remember Him in you hours of need, as He will help you navigate your way out of trouble, but also in the good times. . .
Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding”
. . . if you do you’ll always end up on the rocks, because with God everything is possible. Below I have expanded on list from above. .
1 ~“be upon your hearts” .. This is like planting a seed in your garden. You prepare the ground, you nurture it, thus the seed flourishes. This why you preparing your heart, you start by praying that God will show wisdom and understanding. God will hear and show you the way, once you hand everything over to Him, ALL will bloom through Faith.
2 ~ “Impress on your Children” .. How you teach your children, in turn give give them all the tools they will need to over come ‘anything’ this World has to throws them, in any circumstances.
3 ~ “Talk about them” .. This is call you ‘testimony’. It’s what brought us to God. May be cause you were Lonely ~ Wanting to Break a Habit ~ such as .. Drink ~ Drugs ~ Gambling ~ anything that has you snared. Then show others how God has broken your chains of bondage.
4 ~ “When walking along” .. OK, I’m going to shatter any illusions on how when & where you can pray. There are no limitations on when or where you can. Here’s a tip when your out and need to talk aloud to God, lift out your phone and make out your talking to a friend.
5 ~ “When you lay down” .. It’s that special time in the quietness, when a couple pray settling down to sleep, will create a special tight bond. If single the quietness will have no distractions. As for both use this time to also thank Him for His help & guidance during the last day.
6 ~ “When you wake up” .. Thank God for keeping you safe during the night. Thank Him for the day to come that you can see ~ touch ~hear ~ smell, in the coming day. Pray for all your ‘unsaved’ family & friends. Thank Him for the air you breath, for being able to see the rising and setting of the Sun. . .Leviticus 25:18 “So you shall observe My statutes and keep My judgments, and perform them; and you will dwell in the land in safety”
7 ~ “Tie them as symbols on your hand” .. This is more ‘metaphorical’, but you will see Jewish men wearing the 10 Commandments in a small box tied to their foreheads. You don’t have to do this, instead what you can do is to have on a piece of paper, on a card in your wallet or purse, some will have a cross around their neck, or around their wrist even, some will have ware a T-shirt or baseball cap.
8 ~ “Ware them around their head” .. As I have just said in 7 there, you’ll see Jewish men wearing [Statutes] on their heads. Instead what we can do is to saturate our selves in His living Word, that people will see you and know that you follow Gods direction, as His light shine from within you.
9 ~ “Write them on the door frames of your houses” .. There was one time that God told the Jewish people to paint their door frames with the ‘blood of a lamb’, so that whilst in the dead of night to keep them safe. This time no what is known as ‘The Passover’. Exodus 12:1/14.
10 ~ “On you Gates” .. Everyone is different, some will have a plaque over their gates/front doors, you’ll even find bumper stickers as well. It is up to you how you show your faith. One plaque has to leave people in no doubt as to in you belief is .. Joshua 24:15 “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord”

   If, in any doubt, ‘how to remember’ in a busy and what can be an exhausting & frantic life. Also with the amount of ‘wokeness’ in the World, as Christians we need now more than ever Gods .. Loving Kindnesses .. Strengths .. Wisdom .. shinning through us. Remember we have all the tools to deal with what ever the World throws at us.

# Don’t Forget #

Deuteronomy 6:10/12 “So it shall be, when the Lord your God brings you into the land of which He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give you large and beautiful cities which you did not build, 11 houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, hewn-out wells which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant—when you have eaten and are full, 12 then beware, lest you forget the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage"

# Don’t Forget #

   When going through life battles. No matter. Whether it’s good times or bad, remember it’s god who “Planted vineyards and olive trees .. houses full of all good things .. large and beautiful cities .. we must remember that it’s God who steers our ship, brings all our blessings. Lest we forget that everything is Blessed through God. As everything comes to us in Gods timing, when we are ready in Gods eyes, and knows we can handle them.

# Don’t Forget #

Prayer

   'Lest we Forget', Heavenly Father we seek your majesty to come among us with your spirit, the same that went Abraham ~ Isaac & Jacob, that you would plant into the hearts and mind of your coming, and they should not delay but invite you into thier hearts, and you the Lord & Saviour over thier lives and the lives of thier family and friends. Let you light shine brightly.

Amen
