So much more, if I trust.

Go and occupy it as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has promised you. Don’t be afraid! Don’t be discouraged!’

That’s why he has brought us here from Egypt—to hand us over to the Amorites to be slaughtered.

“The people of the land are taller and more powerful than we are, and their towns are large, with walls rising high into the sky! We even saw giants there

“But I said to you, ‘Don’t be shocked or afraid of them! 30The Lord your God is going ahead of you. He will fight for you, just as you saw him do in Egypt.

“But even after all he did, you refused to trust the Lord your God,

except Caleb son of Jephunneh. He will see this land because he has followed the Lord completely.

Lord God my Father,
May I have doubtless faith in your ability to do your work thru me. Keep me from doubt and distraction due to my ways and give you complete control over my desires. Lord God you have so much more Blessing to use thru me than I could ever understand, help me to not be afraid of what I see in front of me but to see past it to your Glory. May I trust you in all things.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen

Fully sold out to the Lord

as a reminder to the Lord that the people of Israel belong to him.

The only exceptions are Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun, for they have wholeheartedly followed the Lord.’

Lord God my Father,
May I have you ever-present in my thoughts, may I live fully dedicated to your will above my own. You are the answer to everything in life.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Eyes only on the Lord

And the Lord replied to Moses, 7“The claim of the daughters of Zelophehad is legitimate.

Lord God,
May I have faith strong enough to plea with you and have you consider that plea. Lord God, I ask you to lead me into a relationship with you where we do this life together. My eyes only open to your will.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Eye’s open living

“Why have you brought us out of Egypt to die here in the wilderness?” they complained. “There is nothing to eat here and nothing to drink. And we hate this horrible manna!”

We have sinned by speaking against the Lord and against you. Pray that the Lord will take away the snakes.” So Moses prayed for the people.

“Do not be afraid of him, for I have handed him over to you, along with all his people and his land. Do the same to him as you did to King Sihon of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon.”

Then the Lord opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the roadway with a drawn sword in his hand.

“Look, I have come to block your way because you are stubbornly resisting me.

But Balaam replied to Balak, “Didn’t I tell you that I can do only what the Lord tells me?”

“This is the message of Balaam son of Beor,
the message of the man whose eyes see clearly,
4the message of one who hears the words of God,
who sees a vision from the Almighty,
who bows down with eyes wide open:

“Alas, who can survive
unless God has willed it?

Lord God my Father,
Protect me from my weary heart, keep me strong and not weak in spirit. Place on me a obedient heart that follows you will within me and rejects my own way. Remove any fear I may have in doing your will. Open my eyes for the opportunities to serve you place around me, especially within my family. Help me to surrender to your desire for my actions today. May my actions bring you glory and fight the battles before me for I follow your will.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Lord of all

Then they plotted among themselves, “Let’s choose a new leader and go back to Egypt!”

And the Lord said to Moses, “How long will these people treat me with contempt? Will they never believe me, even after all the miraculous signs I have done among them?

“Please, Lord, prove that your power is as great as you have claimed.

Then the Lord said, “I will pardon them as you have requested.

But Moses and Aaron fell face down on the ground. “O God,” they pleaded, “you are the God who gives breath to all creatures. Must you be angry with all the people when only one man sins?”

But Moses and Aaron fell face down on the ground.

Lord God my Father,
Deliver me from my own desires, the desires that separate me from you. Help me to accept your desire, a desire of truth to rest on me. Forgive me of my past and deliver me into your glorious present and allow me to share your awesome truth to those around me. May you be Lord over all your people.

In Jesus name,
Amen

To follow without doubt.

the whole community of Israel dedicated the Levites, carefully following all the Lord’s instructions to Moses.

Moses answered, “Wait here until I have received instructions for you from the Lord.”

Whenever the cloud lifted from over the sacred tent, the people of Israel would break camp and follow it. And wherever the cloud settled, the people of Israel would set up camp.

So they camped or traveled at the Lord’s command, and they did whatever the Lord told them through Moses.

The load is far too heavy! 15If this is how you intend to treat me, just go ahead and kill me. Do me a favor and spare me this misery!”

You were whining, and the Lord heard you when you cried,

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Has my arm lost its power? Now you will see whether or not my word comes true!”

But not with my servant Moses.
Of all my house, he is the one I trust.
8I speak to him face to face,
clearly, and not in riddles!
He sees the Lord as he is.

Lord God my Father,
I dedicate my family to you, may I please you with my heart and actions. Lord God, may I hear and follow your instructions to the letter, give me a spirit that is strong against the sin of this world. Even when you ask more from me than I can handle, may I move forward trusting in your power. Lord God, protect me from whining or taking my eye off of you, may I fully trust in you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Clear a path of distractions

Whenever Moses went into the Tabernacle to speak with the Lord, he heard the voice speaking to him from between the two cherubim above the Ark’s cover—the place of atonement—that rests on the Ark of the Covenant.7:89 Or Ark of the Testimony. The Lord spoke to him from there.

Lord God my Father,
Thank you for Loving your people so much even when we turn away from you. Lord protect me from the distractions of this world that distort your desire you placed on my heart and allow me to hear you and not interpret your message. Allow your desire for me to rest on my spirit and be my desire in all things this day.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Oh to only be His servant.

24‘May the Lord bless you
and protect you.
25May the Lord smile on you
and be gracious to you.
26May the Lord show you his favor
and give you his peace.’
whenever Aaron and his sons bless the people of Israel in my name, I myself will bless them.”

Lord God my Father,
Thank you for your gracious nature and all the blessings you have given to me, too many to count. Grant me the peace only you can provide and allow me to bless in your name all those around me. Lord God it is such a joy to be your servant, keep me on your path and continue to purify my soul to your purpose alone.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Stubborn and Arrogant

Uncategorized

“But at last my people will confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors for betraying me and being hostile toward me. 41When I have turned their hostility back on them and brought them to the land of their enemies, then at last their stubborn hearts will be humbled, and they will pay for their sins.

Lord God my Father,
Soften my heart and make known to me my arrogance, the areas I struggle to release control of so you may have your way with my thoughts and life. Turn my stubborn way against my stubborn way. May I follow your desire in all things.

In Jesus name,
Amen
