"Man Does Not Live on Bread Alone"

...but on the Word of God.

After watching The Ten Commandments for the very first time with Ben, I was touched by how amazing the film was. Even being made years ago, the quality and story were great.

I am ready to dive deeper into the beginning of the Old Testament. Being able to learn more about God's messenger, His lawgiver, and prophet, I was able to see much of His Christlike character. Symbolism between who Moses was and who Jesus is.

Moses was obedient to God's calling, for the Living Word says "He desires obedience and not sacrifice."  To see how Moses did not want to hear about God, or listen to other people talk about Him. But He would only believe through a TRUE encounter with the Lord on his own.

That is so deep and touching to my spirit because that is exactly what we can quickly look passed today. We can go to church, attend Bible studies, do good deeds, but have no direct relationship with the Lord. We can easily "milk" off of other people and never enter into intimacy with Christ.

A great quote states "When you stop living for God, you can start living with Him." So intense! That this is not by works but by pure grace He has called us to His throne of Mercy. Who do we truly follow? Is it a church system, or what others may think of us? Or do we listen for the voice of the Lord to direct us?

It is not always that easy...to trust Jesus. But He says in His word, "He is patient." And He is with His people. He must be, to be so mocked and forgotten by many He created.

Some ask..."What is God's will for my life?" And through revelation of Jesus Himself, I have experienced a deeper answer. He IS our will. Our will IS to know Him, and live through His Breathe. To live through Him and with Him. To bring glory to His name. And all of the rest of the journey, automatically pours out after. The good deeds, the missions, the evangelism cannot be the main focus. Jesus is our main focus, our Prize, our Savior. And through that relationship, the ministries may come.

"He is everything in us all"
