The Word of the Lord

And the Word of the Lord came unto me saying. . .   These days it seems no one wants to hear what the Lord has to say.  Even believers in Christ shy away from the true Word of God.  They justify their lifestyles by their own feelings and emotions.  They rarely believe what is actually written in the Holy Bible.

I realize there is a lot in the Bible that is hard to swallow, but we must take it all in.  We cannot make it by picking and choosing what we want.  It is easy to accept the benefits God has for us.  I mean, who wouldn't want to be blessed constantly with everything necessary for our lives?  Too many don't even think about the price we must pay.

We tend to forget that the Lord said, "Be ye holy for I am holy."  Or that Paul wrote, "Without holiness, no man shall see God."  We want to see Him but we want to stay as close to the world as possible.

Moses was a man called of God.  He led the children of Israel out of Egypt and bondage.  It is easy to remember the Exodus but what about before?  Even though he could have had everything Egypt had to offer, Moses chose to stay true to who he was.  This decision eventually caused him to live on the back side of the desert for forty(40) years.  He paid a price for his decision to follow after God.

What price have you paid lately?  Have you given God everything?  If not, don't you think it is time to take God at His word instead of manipulating the Word to mean what you want it to mean?

God is not a man that He should lie.  Everything that comes from the mouth of God is always the truth.  Jesus said, "Man shall not live by bread alone but by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God."
