Whether we ever believe them or not. Think about the children of Israel&#8230;they knew of God\u2019s promise to lead them, protect them, guide them, feed them, guard them. But they were so often disobedient to His simple commands. \u00a0As such, because of His compassionate and abiding love for them, God had to help them to learn&#8230;as He will with us, too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">You must carefully follow every command I am giving you today,<br \/>\nso that you may live and increase,<br \/>\nand may enter and take possession of the land the Lord swore to your fathers.<br \/>\nRemember that the Lord your God led you on the entire journey<br \/>\nthese 40 years in the wilderness,<br \/>\nso that He might humble you and test you<br \/>\nto know what was in your heart,<br \/>\nwhether or not you would keep His commands.<br \/>\nDeuteronomy 8:1 and 2<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAs we hear and believe all that God tells us\u2014as we intentionally think these truths and begin to act accordingly\u2014He unfolds the true personality He designed us to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">ChristLife, Mrs. Ruth Myers, page 60<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>(Oh! Don\u2019t you just love that!) \u00a0And so we learn more of the Truth as we begin to believe what God says about us. And as we trust Him and take Him at His Word, we will begin to be freed from lies and misconceptions we have held in our hearts.<\/p>\n<p>But the fact remains that we need to be diligent in reminding ourselves constantly of these Truths and promises. \u00a0One would think that, with all the <em>many,<\/em> <strong>many, <em>many<\/em> <\/strong>examples and proofs that God so graciously shows us about how very much He loves us, we would be convinced. \u00a0However God is equally as patient with us as He loves us. The negative images that we have allowed into our hearts can be replaced by the Truth of just \u201cWho we ARE\u201d in Christ. \u00a0But it takes work and effort on our part. Thankfully, we are not left to do this on our own. God can and will help us through His Holy Spirit! Remember to pray, pray, pray!<\/p>\n<p>Friends, I hope that the beautiful lyrics of this song can be a tool for you to use to pray and sing your heart out to God.
