A Leadership Insight from Vision Multiplier International https://visionmultiplierllc.wordpress.com/
I was reflecting this morning on the thought that we, the leaders, have provision and blessings all around us. We must purpose in our hearts to stop and see that “it is good” and understand “that it is God”.
No matter the situation, there is evidence that God has and continues to provide for us.
We must trust and believe God. He is our source and sustainer. Below are scripture excerpts that are powerful:
“Every commandment that I am commanding you today you shall be careful to do..”
We must learn the commandments, the ways and heart of God in order for us to “understand and remember”
As we study the commandments and instructions contained in the Bible and meditate on them day and night, we will see success. Our hearts will become full with the word and our belief system will grow.
“And you shall remember [always] all the ways which the Lord your God has led you…”
What may forget that God is still working hard to fulfill his promise made to Abraham.
God was faithful to the children of Israel while they were in the wilderness.
We are descendants of Abraham through Christ Jesus and God still actively performing his word. He is a promise keeper for generations.
“He humbled you and allowed you to be hungry and fed you with manna, [a substance] which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, so that He might make you understand [by personal experience] …”
As leaders, there is a journey that we must travel collectively as a tribe but there is also a “private” journey that each of us must walk.
We cannot borrow the experiences of those before us as “our manna” is tailored to “our need”.
The Lord meets us where we are and provides us with a unique testimony of his goodness, and grace in our lives.
We must: “walk [that is, to live each and every day] in His ways and fear [and worship] Him [with awe-filled reverence and profound respect]. “
Our Promise and Portion:
“when you have eaten and are satisfied, and have built good houses and lived in them, and when your herds and flocks multiply, and your silver and gold multiply, and all that you have increases…”
This is our promise and portion and will forever be our promise and portion if we continue to learn, meditate on and do the commandments contained in his word.
Amen
Be Blessed!
Be a Blessing!
”“Every commandment that I am commanding you today you shall be careful to do, so that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the Lord swore [to give] to your fathers.
And you shall remember [always] all the ways which the Lord your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, so that He might humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart (mind), whether you would keep His commandments or not.
He humbled you and allowed you to be hungry and fed you with manna, [a substance] which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, so that He might make you understand [by personal experience] that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord.
Your clothing did not wear out on you, nor did your feet swell these forty years.
Therefore, know in your heart (be fully cognizant) that the Lord your God disciplines and instructs you just as a man disciplines and instructs his son.
Therefore, you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, to walk [that is, to live each and every day] in His ways and fear [and worship] Him [with awe-filled reverence and profound respect].
For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills;
a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey;
a land where you will eat bread without shortage, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you can dig copper.
When you have eaten and are satisfied, then you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land which He has given you.
“Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by failing to keep His commandments and His judgments (precepts) and His statutes which I am commanding you today;
otherwise, when you have eaten and are satisfied, and have built good houses and lived in them,
and when your herds and flocks multiply, and your silver and gold multiply, and all that you have increases,
then your heart will become lifted up [by self-conceit and arrogance] and you will forget the Lord your God who brought you from the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.“
