Good Stuff !!! I am going thru Beth Moore's The Law of Love (Deuteronomy). So powerful. And no homework, just power packed videos (I need no homework right now ;)))
Some powerful thoughts I was left with, in case they might bless you:
1) When He wants to take us out of something; its so He can take is in to something.
2) Why did they read the Law every 7 Years at the Feast of Tabernacles? The tabernacles were their little hut/dwelling places, and the 7th year was the "year of release". It was a time to be rid of shame and regret and go back into the promised land.
***This was written for ALL - every generation and even for the foreigner. The only ones who could not partake were the "dead".
???Dont we all want to be released of whatever it is that has us in bondage - so we can go in and take hold of the promised land He has waiting for us?
???Dont we all have those situations and relationships where He has said "go" and we have stayed too long? Or are stuck in regret having not obeyed to "go" and it has us frozen still in that place.
Personal Application: When things are "hard", I often ask God "what am I doing here?" I was in bondage to many things in America; being in Romania - at this season - is my promised land. It is where I can flourish in Him and be fruitful and i have grown tremendously (so says my hubby ;)); He speaks many things to me, where I might otherwise be "too busy" to hear them....
Thank You Jesus, My Redeemer and the Holy Spirit who convicts, moves, and speaks to us today. THANK YOU that I dont have to wait 7 years to be released from whatever bondage I am in, but I can enter your presence in prayer right now - and you promise to meet me!
