On The Way To The Good Land

Deuteronomy 3:1 - 11

God has a perfect place that He wants us to be at.  We must stay focused.  We’re on our way to a mighty good land!  There’s a race to be run and choices to be made. 

Exodus 13:21 - 22

It’s God’s intention for us to make it into the good land.

Exodus 14:10-12

Deuteronomy 8:2

We need to read the Word of God and learn from example.  He’ll make a way in the middle of no way.  There’s a place for God to dwell among us.

Exodus 15:22

Murmur - low steady sound; a mumbled complaint.  Blessed is the man that trusts in the Lord!  There are so many who’ve forgotten how it was to be set free.  There are some of us in a dry place.  God wants to give you a drink of water.  Instead of looking for reasons to go forward we look for reasons to go back.  I know one reason to go forward.  Remember where the Lord brought you from.  Want to find out what’s in someone’s heart?  Put them in a valley.  I must go through the valley to stand upon the mountain of God.  We always want to go the easy way and quit climbing.  When we’re in the valley we need to build an altar.  Humbleness - having or showing consciousness of your short comings; to lower in pride. 

Benefits of being humble:
    2 Chronicles 7:14
    2 Chronicles 34:27
    Job 22:29
    Psalm 9:12
    Psalm 10:17

People want the high life.  It’s better to be humble.  If we live our life in sin, it will come to an end. 

Proverbs 29:23
Isaiah 57:15

You wanna be revived?  Humble yourself. 

Matthew 23:12
James 4:6
James 4:10
1 Peter 5:6
Deuteronomy 8:5
