Thanks for sharing, Amanda! That is something to meditate on...
ReplyDelete"Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it." ~ Numbers 14:22-24
Does my faith match the same spirit as Caleb's? How I react to my fears is the answer to this question. Do I trust in God to teach my hands to war or do I retreat before the battle even starts?
~ Kenzi
And your questions are definitely something to meditate upon as well. Caleb is one of the Bible men that really stands out to me - he didn't go the easy route (with the crowd) but stood firm on God's command even when everyone else was against him. Wow, to have such commitment to God!

"The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple." Psalm 119:130
Hey Amanda, thanks for the simple little thought provoking verses that you bring our attention to each week.
ReplyDeleteGreat verses to ponder from Kenzi as well.
The verse I'd like to share this week is a principle that the Lord has been bringing to my attention again and again.
Matthew 21:44
"And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder."
If we humble our selves before God, He will break us, so that He can use us and work through us to minister to others, but if we harden ourselves,
God's judgement will fall upon us and destroy us.
Wow, something to ponder and meditate on as well.
Janell,
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! :) They are simply verses God has brought out to me!
That is a verse that came to mind yesterday but I hadn't yet found the time to look it up. :) Very true and thought-provoking.
