“For this commandment which I command you today is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off. 12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will ascend into heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ 13 Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ 14 But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.15 “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, 16 in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess.” Deuteronomy 30:11-16 NKJV

Lord our God,

You set before Your people of Israel, life and good choices or death and evil. And they had a choice before they went any further with You. They had a choice to go forward Your way with life and a promised land or their own way without him and his blessings.

Jesus gives us that same stark choice, to chose life in Him, with HIm. Not any old good life but abundant life, life in all its fullness (John 10:10) and eternal life (John 6:67). Its seems so simple when You choose Jesus and I wonder why it took me so long?

And then each day holds choices Lord God. Sometimes we know which is right with You. Sometimes we know which is our own want and may be tempted to still do it. Sometimes we ask and You want us to choose. Because all choices are good or You want us to learn and grow. It makes having a relationship with You one in which we do learn and grows and develop, hopefully to be more like You Lord.. Thank You that we do not have to try to reach heaven or travel across the sea. You placed Your Word, Jesus in us in our hearts just as You promised Jeremiah (31:33). Today we chose life, learning to hear, listen, follow, obeying and worship.

In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

I love to bring this song again because it shows our all or nothing choice.

I will choose Christ
I will choose love
I choose to serve
I give my heart
I give my life
I give all to You


Some days are hard
And I fight to see the truth
But I’m gonna take a stand
In all I say and do

Chorus

Some fall away
And some refuse to see
A willing and humble heart
I pray You’ll find in me

Chorus

You are grace
You are peace
You are hope and healing
You are faith
You are joy
You are God revealing
Jesus
My Lord and King

Chorus Repeat

“Now it shall come to pass, when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you call them to mind among all the nations where the Lord your God drives you, 2 and you return to the Lord your God and obey His voice, according to all that I command you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul, 3 that the Lord your God will bring you back from captivity, and have compassion on you, and gather you again from all the nations where the Lord your God has scattered you. 4 If any of you are driven out to the farthest parts under heaven, from there the Lord your God will gather you, and from there He will bring you. 5 Then the Lord your God will bring you to the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it. He will prosper you and multiply you more than your fathers.  And the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live.” Deuteronomy 30:1-6

Father of restoration,

What a promise knowing just how easy it was for any generation of Your people to turn away from worshipping and trusting and following You. From gold calves, foreign wives foreign gods, just rebelliousness . . .

All that is asked is that they return with all their heart and soul. Now that is not always easy. Some of us do not like to admit when we are wrong. Or would rather skate over it, leave it frozen in the ice. Trouble is You see all Lord God.

And in Hebrews 6:4-6, You Lord warn us that there may be a point of no return. How hard must a heart become to shut out Your Holy Spirit? But You gave us free will and are a God of judgement and You do not change. But You do call back the prodigal’s and the backsliders even today. So many testimonies of being restored. I see the Father side of Your character calling Your children to return to You too. And asking us to have compassion for others, saving then by pulling them out of the fire (Jude 1:23).

And the beautiful promise at the end of Jude: Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling,
And to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to God our Savior,
Who alone is wise, be glory and majesty (jude 1:24,25)

In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

This is new to me and at first all the Amens annoyed me a bit . . . but saying ‘so be it’ and repeating it, is like reinforcing what I believe?

There is a hope for all the suffering
A song of joy for all who weep
There is an anchor for the stumbling
A mighty fortress to the one who is in need

Unto Him who can keep us
Make us blameless in His presence
Unto Jesus unto the only God
Unto Him who has saved us
Be all glory be all majesty
Dominion all authority is Yours
Right now and forevermore


Forevermore Forevermore
Right now and forevermore
Forevermore Forevermore

Your light will overcome the darkness
The crooked roads will be made straight
The valleys lifted up the mountains brought down low
Every tongue will soon confess your name

Unto Him who can keep us
Make us blameless in His presence
Unto Jesus unto the only God
Unto Him who has saved us
Be all glory be all majesty
Dominion all authority is Yours
Right now and forevermore


Amen Amen Amen . . . Amen we sing
Amen Amen Amen . . . Amen we sing
Amen Amen Amen Amen

Unto Him who can keep us
Make us blameless in His presence
Unto Jesus unto the only God
Unto Him who has saved us
Be all glory be all majesty
Dominion all authority is Yours
Right now and forevermore


Forevermore Forevermore
Right now and forevermore
Forevermore Forevermore
Right now and forevermore

“For the Lord your God is the God of gods and Lord of lords. He is the great God, the mighty and awesome God, who shows no partiality and cannot be bribed. 18 He ensures that orphans and widows receive justice. He shows love to the foreigners living among you and gives them food and clothing. 19 So you, too, must show love to foreigners, for you yourselves were once foreigners in the land of Egypt. 20 You must fear the Lord your God and worship him and cling to him. Your oaths must be in his name alone. 21 He alone is your God, the only one who is worthy of your praise, the one who has done these mighty miracles that you have seen with your own eyes. 22 When your ancestors went down into Egypt, there were only seventy of them. But now the Lord your God has made you as numerous as the stars in the sky!” Deuteronomy 10:17-22 NLT

God of Gods and Lord of Lords,

Your Son, Jesus spoke these words in the sermon on the mount, “Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished. ” (Matthew 5:17,18). When we read Moses, Your prophets words, we see truth mirrored exactly. You are eternally God of Gods, Lord of Lords. You show no partiality and cannot be bribed. You love each one of us. And just as Your people Israel could come freely and ask and receive from You now we can because of Jesus.

Now and again I need reminding that You have not changed God. You are not like an earthly parent who can be cajoled or persuaded to do what I want to make me happy. You God have not changed. You still cannot tolerate sin and will only do what is right and according to Your plan. It is Jesus that removes the punishment of sin and who enables us to freely approach You to ask for our needs in prayer.

It is good to remember also because it reminds me You are an awesome, almighty, all powerful, larger than the universe, bigger than my imagination, the one and only God of all. And I can know You and receive Your love – because of Jesus. I will bow my knee, my heart and my will and worship You.


In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Surely our God is the God of gods
And the Lord of kings
The revealer of mysteries
Surely our God is the God of gods
And the Lord of kings


He changes the times and the seasons
He gives rhythm to the tides
He knows what is hidden
In the darkest of places
Brings the shadows in to His light

Chorus

I will praise You always my Father
You are Lord of heaven and earth
You hide Your secrets
From the wise and the learned
And reveal them to this Your child

Chorus

Thank You for sending Your only Son
We may know the mystery of God –
He opens the treasures
Of wisdom and knowledge
To the humble not to the proud
