Sounds a little 'heavy' but it has kept me from many a bad choice, to know the LORD is continually with me.</p>
<p>Moses passes along a helpful thought on how 'the fear of the LORD can help us in our journey...</p>

<p>Johoshaphat, I believe, is the first king, besides David, that accepts a rebuke form God, albeit by way of Hanani, a prophet. He doesn’t become angry or sullen but gets himself up, brushes himself off and continues to use God’s Law as a standard in how he rules the people but requires the judges he appoints to do the same.</p>
<p>It seems to me when a person follows “hard” after God the means and methods used to make decisions or carry out their responsibilities do not fit into normal methods of operations nor do they seem to fit into any standard of common sense by man’s point of view. If I had been one of those appointed singers to stand in front of the Army while the enemy advanced, I don’t know what I would have done. Would I have had enough faith not to second-guess God and the king? Would I be thinking and saying, “Feets don’t fail me now!” as I rushed off in the opposite direction away from the battle lines?</p>
<p>Or would the words of Jahaziel have pierced my heart and empowered me to do what in the natural didn’t make sense? I’m not sure but it is clear that God chose to fight this battle differently then what man would do.<br />
Romans 10:14-11:12</p>
<p>18 But what about the Jews? Have they actually heard the message? Yes, they have:<br />
"The message of God's creation has gone out to everyone,<br />
and its words to all the world."<br />
19 But did the people of Israel really understand? Yes, they did, for even in the time of Moses, God had said,<br />
"I will rouse your jealousy by blessing other nations.<br />
I will make you angry by blessing the foolish Gentiles</p>
<p>What has captured my attention is the last line of verse 19 (Tenth Chapter), I will make you (Israel) angry by blessing the foolish Gentiles. I am a Gentile and is my life lived in such a way, can the blessings of God be seen upon me in such a way that I make the Jews, the natural Israel, angry? If I honestly answer to that, I would have to say, no.</p>
<p>Psalm 21:1-13</p>
<p>I know that it is recorded by scholars that David wrote this Psalm about himself. However, I see in each and every one of the lines something pointing to Jesus. For example:</p>
<p>3 You welcomed him back with success and prosperity.<br />
You placed a crown of finest gold on his head</p>
<p>I see this as also speaking to Jesus’ triumph over the grave. To welcome someone back they must have already been there, went some place else and are now returning. Jesus was always with the Father since before the world began. There are riches with the Father that Jesus gave up when he took on the form of man and came to earth. After his triumph over death, He went back to sit at the Right Hand of the Father (Acts 2:33). Jesus being the King of kings, I think would have a crown made of the finest gold because by Him and through Him there was nothing made that did not have His creative touch and that he did not own.<br />
Proverbs 20:4-6</p>
<p>4If you are too lazy to plow in the right season, you will have no food at the harvest.</p>
<p>I have always read this as if it is the person who doesn’t plow who will have no food, but it says the one who does not plow in the RIGHT SEASON. Have I plowed in the wrong season then wondered why there was not food. This Proverb implies one can be very busy plowing away, yet not produce any harvest because I plowed and sowed in the winter instead of the spring.</p>
<p>Grace and peace,<br />
