Psalm 33:4 For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth.

My dear friend and accountability partner will frequently make comments on my devotionals. The ones that are most precious to me are the ones in which the Holy Spirit has spoken into his heart and reminded him of passages within the bible that confirms that which I have written.

It is one thing to have friends and family acknowledge that what I have written has value but when the Holy Spirit says, “This Word is True!”, then that is confirmation from the author Himself, that I heard right.

For me there is no point in doing this if He is not with me to inspire what is needful. This is on the internet and reaches everywhere the internet is available. Who it touches and what good might come of it is up to God. I can rest assured that if God is in it, then good will come of it. That is the only thing that counts.

What motivates me is His abiding love and to severe Him as He would see fit. I learned a long time ago that choosing where to serve only satisfies myself.

1 John 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

One last word of encouragement. May the Lord speak to you in Truth.

Hosea 9:5 What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the Lord?

Psalm 95:10-11 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

Yesterday I said I am secure in my relationship with Jesus Christ. In the beginning of Psalm 95 is some really good praise advice and many people rejoice in those portions of this psalm. These are the last two verses of that psalm and to many it is a stern warning that one can lose their salvation.

To those who worry, I say, you err in your heart.

It all begins with the heart condition. If you have not accepted Jesus Christ into your heart it does not matter how long you followed Him. Nearly all of those came out of Egypt and passed thru the Red Sea never got to enter into the Promised Land. The two men that did were Joshua and Caleb. They were the two spies that came back with a faithful report.

Numbers 14:8-9 If the Lord delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey. Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us: fear them not.

So why was it that these people followed God for forty years and died in the wilderness?

Simply put, they were not led by faith, except Joshua and Caleb who did enter in.
