Know Therefore

“Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord He is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.”

‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭4:39‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Do you consider God?

Have you ever really thought about God, or tried to explain Him to someone else? 

Don't we pretty much just think about Him when we have a need? 

I remember bargaining with God in my younger years. "God if you will save my daughter, I will serve you forever!" After the crisis was over, I forgot my vow, but He didn't! 

How many of you have done that? 

"God if only . . . "

At the time we make those declarations we are serious; we would do anything! Then we soon forget. But He doesn't forget and He will call you on it! He will someday remind you of that vow! It will ring in your ears!

I am so thankful, that He remembers me!

“But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the Lord thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; (For the Lord thy God is a merciful God;) He will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which He sware unto them.”

‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭4:29-31‬ ‭KJV‬‬

In His mercy; He put the desire, for Him, in my heart! He made me to seek Him with my whole heart! What is so amazing to me is that the darkness He called me out of was so great, He could have destroyed me! I deserved it, but He remembers my vow.

He remembers me! 

How many times in my life did I get myself into trouble and cry out to Him? 

How many difficult situations did I find myself in, that He rescued me? 

All of the time I was running from Him, I was running to Him, for He was always right in front of me, and I didn't know! He never took His eyes off of me, for He remembers! 

Now, I do seek Him with my whole heart! He continually reminds me of all of the miracles He has done in my life! He has been active all along, even during my rebellion; because He remembers my vow! 

He knew I would get to the point when I would run out of pavement and He would show me another, less traveled road; a hard road; a road that would lead me straight to Him!

I, now, purpose in my heart, daily, to seek after; to follow Him on that narrow road, for the remainder of my life - 

Because I made a vow! 

I'm so thankful, He remembers!

Even so - MARANATHA!
