048 Tuesday, February 17, 2009

048 Numbers 003 – 005; Romans 1.1 – 1.17

Everyone has a job to do. With that in mind, you see how God handed out the duties for each clan and tribe. I have often thought what would happen in the church if everyone was handed an assignment that they had to do. If every church in America would do that then people who do not ‘do’ would either stay home or start the "Do Nothing" church.

Do you know if your spouse is cheating on you? Do you? Those feelings that you have experienced, maybe, just maybe, they mean something. The bitter water test is what we have for you spouses who are just not sure. If the party is innocent then the water will not affect you, however if you are guilty then the curse will have its way. Wow! Here's a thought, don't sin. Stay away from those things that bring dishonor and shame. People need the Lord. People need to follow the Lord, always.

The book of Romans is to the Bible what the Constitution is to the U.S.A.. Please read this section very slowly. Let God teach you about the Gospel. It is this verse that started it all, "The person in right standing before God by trusting him really lives." The Gospel in its simplest form is found in this verse. This is the verse that stimulated Martin Luther's thinking that maybe it is faith in Christ plus nothing.

The book of Romans goes to great lengths to prove that it is faith alone that gives us life. Read it, soak it in, and let God reveal to you how marvelous and awesome our Savior, Jesus is and will always be.

A good question to start reflecting upon is: "Does everything that I think, feel, and contemplate always go back to Jesus?"
