I ADORE YOU!

Scriptures

35 When the LORD made a covenant with the Israelites, he commanded them: “Do not worship any other gods or bow down to them, serve them or sacrifice to them. 36 But the LORD, who brought you up out of Egypt with mighty power and outstretched arm, is the one you must worship. To him you shall bow down and to him offer sacrifices. 37 You must always be careful to keep the decrees and regulations, the laws and commands he wrote for you. Do not worship other gods. 38 Do not forget the covenant I have made with you, and do not worship other gods. 39 Rather, worship the LORD your God; it is he who will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies.” 2 Kings 17:35-39

King Ahaz was the worst king after King David who defiled and turned the people of Israelites away from God. 2 Corinthians 28

-----------------------------------------------------------
[b]1 God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.[c] Psalm 46:1-3

10 “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”

11 The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress. Psalm 46:10-11

9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. James 3:9

17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18 Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness. James 9:17

Observations

- God loves our whole attention. For us to be diverted and worship others is like the action of digging our own graves.

- God is with us when we go through trials and tribulation. He reminded us that He is in control and he protects.

- The tongue has the power to "kill". We have to be careful, think before we speak.

- Peacemaker, pure, considerate, obedient, have compassion...true.. genuine

======

Application

- To focus in God alone. To serve Him whole-heartedly. To worship him alone.
- To trust by faith :)
- To think before I speak eventhough the person is bad.
- To have the values of Christ.
