FATHER spoke in Jeremiah chapter 1:
12 Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over My word to perform it.”
What a wonderful commitment to us from FATHER! HE did not just provide us with a book full of “maybe’s” but one filled with HIS promises which HE will watch over to fulfill in each of our lives. Who better to place our trust than THE ONE who created us and loving hovered over us as we were formed in the womb.
As we read chapters and study topics in Scripture, let us keep in mind this fundamental promise FATHER has spoken. There is none greater who can challenge HIS Word and the power contained therein. HE expressed HIS Divine Intent in each Word given to us through various means. When HE speaks to me directly, I fully trust HIS Word, no matter what the world would say otherwise.
How much power does FATHER have? It is infinite and beyond our comprehension. HE is not constrained by lack of knowledge or skill, but has all the resources of Heaven and earth at HIS disposal. I daresay there are resources we have not been given a glimpse of that are available to bring HIS Word to pass.
What can negatively impact this unfathomable power? Our unbelief. Because of HIS Love, HE will not override our decision to seek our own way outside of HIS Word. The power in The Word is still there but is held back by our own unbelief. Unbelief will withhold power because of FATHER’S commitment to allowing us to choose our own way.
With this understanding we are able to appreciate FATHER speaking the following in Deuteronomy chapter 30:
15 “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil,
16 in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the LORD your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess.
17 But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them,
18 I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess.
19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;
20 that you may love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”
As for me and my household, we choose life.
