Picture: Delicious brought and introduced her Vuku member to the church. She said it is her! Delicious was so 😊 happy.
“I removed the burden from their shoulders; their hands were set free from the basket. In your distress you called and I rescued you, I answered you out of a thundercloud; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. You shall have no foreign god among you; you shall not worship any god other than me. I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth and I will fill it. “But my people would not listen to me; Israel would not submit to me. So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices. “If my people would only listen to me, if Israel would only follow my ways, how quickly I would subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes! Those who hate the Lord would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever. But you would be fed with the finest of wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
Psalms 81:6-16

When you think God…we know there is only Him, our One God, Our Father, Our Lord, our Abba.
When you think of “other gods” in scripture, do you think of a fake golden calf? A human leader who thinks they are greater?
Actually our sin can creep up on us easier or more sneakily than we think.
Life is beautiful, difficult, challenging, rewarding…you name it. When you walk with God…you will always see the blessing side of things.
Then there are times you do life…it gets stressful and we fall upon other things..these so call things we focus on that becomes our god: worldly teachings, rules and regulations, things that society tells you what will make you or break you. You fall to your own strength against such pressures and before you know it, you have lost sight of Jesus.
God is patient. God is love. God will wait you out. What’s the secret? Seek God out in your times of confusion. Do not make the worldly things your lesser god. If you become guided by it, that is what it represents.. a focus that is NOT Abba.
If you struggle CALL on Him. There is nothing you think that He does not already know. There is no challenge you must struggle through alone to reach your place…and our place is our purpose. Our purpose is His Will. His will gives us PEACE, LOVE, EVERLASTING LIFE.
Have faith brother and sisters…weather through the storms..not alone, but with Jesus. That’s the secret sauce!!!
Amen.
