Hey guys jasmine here :)
Tonight we're going through psalms 105 & Romans 16; I'm praying whatever God wants you to hear will stand out to you and that he speaks through me in my commentary portion.
42 For he remembered his sacred promise
to his servant Abraham.
43 So he brought his people out of Egypt with joy,
his chosen ones with rejoicing.
44 He gave his people the lands of pagan nations,
and they harvested crops that others had planted.
45 All this happened so they would follow his decrees
and obey his instructions.
17 And now I make one more appeal, my dear brothers and sisters. Watch out for people who cause divisions and upset people’s faith by teaching things contrary to what you have been taught. Stay away from them. 18 Such people are not serving Christ our Lord; they are serving their own personal interests. By smooth talk and glowing words they deceive innocent people. 19 But everyone knows that you are obedient to the Lord. This makes me very happy. I want you to be wise in doing right and to stay innocent of any wrong. 20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. May the grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
Psalms 105 talks about how the Lord sent his servant Moses and Aaron to Egypt to free his people but when they got there the king wouldn't let them go so God had to: cover them in darkness, send locusts, frogs and make the waters blood red to get them out. but he did it all because of his promise to Abraham ( 9 This is the covenant he made with Abraham and the oath he swore to Isaac. 10 He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, and to the people of Israel as a never-ending covenant: 11 “I will give you the land of Canaan as your special possession.”), and cuz he loves his people and is filled with joy when he gets to help them ^-^
Romans 10 covers a hella lot of greetings from Paul to his friends then an instruction to be careful who we spend our time with and to not be deceived. Google defintion of the word deceived says- to cause (someone) to believe something that is not true, typically in order to gain some personal advantage. If we are deceived it is because someone wants to gain something from our confusing of the truth. We do not want that because the truth sets us free. Often times most people who are being deceived don't even realize it's happeneing to them. That why it's important to pray for wisdom and holy discernment, praying on the armor of God every day can help too. Often times being deceivd can keep us from growing the way God wants/desires us to. we want to live a full life so it's important to listen to God, we can never go wrong by beleiving his promises and trusting in him. I hope you guys got what you needed from this and I pray you seek a more intimate relationship with God this week. You are all loved MUCH. <3
