This may come as a shock, but Israel didn’t get what they were promised; they only got what they fought for. Everyone got deliverance from Egypt, but not everyone got dominion in the promised land. Only those who were willing to “tread” on, exercise their authority, crush the enemy, wage warfare and fight got something.
"And I will remember my covenant."— Genesis 9:15
Mark the form of the promise. God does not say, "And when ye shall look upon the bow, and ye shall remember my covenant, then I will not destroy the earth," but it is gloriously put, not upon our memory, which is fickle and frail, but upon God's memory, which is infinite and immutable. "The bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant." Oh! it is not my remembering God, it is God's remembering me which is the ground of my safety; it is not my laying hold of his covenant, but his covenant's laying hold on me. Glory be to God! the whole of the bulwarks of salvation are secured by divine power, and even the minor towers, which we may imagine might have been left to man, are guarded by almighty strength. Even the remembrance of the covenant is not left to our memories, for we might forget, but our Lord cannot forget the saints whom he has graven on the palms of his hands. It is with us as with Israel in Egypt; the blood was upon the lintel and the two side-posts, but the Lord did not say, "When you see the blood I will pass over you," but "When I see the blood I will pass over you." My looking to Jesus brings me joy and peace, but it is God's looking to Jesus which secures my salvation and that of all his elect, since it is impossible for our God to look at Christ, our bleeding Surety, and then to be angry with us for sins already punished in him. No, it is not left with us even to be saved by remembering the covenant. There is no linsey-wolsey here-not a single thread of the creature mars the fabric. It is not of man, neither by man, but of the Lord alone. We should remember the covenant, and we shall do it, through divine grace; but the hinge of our safety does not hang there-it is God's remembering us, not our remembering him; and hence the covenant is an everlasting covenant.

I admit that in my flesh I often seek people’s appreciation and recognition.
Teach me to follow in Jesus’ footsteps, to walk in humility, even when humiliated.
I need Your help to be free from the desire to flaunt my own importance before others.
Grant me the freedom to gracefully refuse honors and accept humiliations with calmness.
Help me to be mindful of others’ needs, to step back and allow them to take the spotlight.
I choose a lowly place, trusting that You will draw me closer to You.
In Jesus’ name, AMEN.
*_Happy Sabbath_*

'Rejected!' — John 1:10-11
Jesus had made everything in the universe, including the earth and all its peoples. Yet when he came to his very own chosen people, they did not accept him. Think a minute about what that means for us when we feel alone, deserted, misunderstood, forgotten, abused, ...: We have a Savior who knows how badly it hurts to be rejected by those we love; he's experienced it. He knows what it's like to be spurned by one we treasure; he felt it repeatedly. He knows what it's like to be despised by those for whom we have made major sacrifices. So when we have those overwhelming times of heartbreak, we can go to him and know he is a caring friend who has been there. He hears us and will minister to our needs and listen to our cries.
Today's Prayer
Father, it saddens me deeply to know that Jesus had to bear the pain of being rejected by those he loved, by those who watched him grow up, and by those for whom he sacrificed so much. However, dear Father, it gives me great comfort to know that he has experienced those losses and empathizes with me when I feel down, forgotten, abandoned, and forsaken. I know I can come to you, and he ensures me that I will receive grace to help me in my time of hurt and need. Thank you for being so intimately involved in this world. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

The devil attacks the roots, not the fruits. He knows that if he can attack your faith, he can affect everything your faith produces.
Don’t only protect what God has given you, protect the faith that brought it forth. Guard your faith, because everything connected to it depends on its strength. 🙏🔥

*CRUCIFY THE FLESH*
“You can’t aimlessly watch what you watch, listen to what you listen to, hang out with whom you hang out and still expect to walk in victory. There is a cutting that must take place for those who are called to conquer. Some can’t conquer their enemy because their flesh hasn’t been cut off. They can’t live for the Savior because they are not dead to their “self.”
• Deliverance gets the demons out, but discipline keeps them out.
• Deliverance is what God does for you; discipline is what God does inside you.
• Discipline is absolutely essential to walking in dominion.
To walk in dominion, we must cut away complaining because complaining is to the devil what worship is to God.”
