"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 22 November 2012, from Cindi, a daughter of the King of kings and Lord of lords."
Today is Commandment Number Two of God's Ten Commandments.
Commandment Number Two: Exodus 20:4-6 "You shall make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of their fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those that hate me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments."
God is a Spirit, so making any image for us in worship would corrupt our grasp of His nature as YAHWEH. God's jealously in verse 5, reflects a passionate concern for us to know and worship Him as he really is.
In verse 6, the Lord's mercy would extend even more to the descendants of righteous people. The phrase "third and fourth" with thousands demonstrates God's Mercy is greater than His wrath. The lingering effects of righteousness will last longer than the lingering effects of wickedness. If we know and worship God in His Spiritual nature, we protect our descendants from the sins and punishments that will happen wherever men and women fail to know and Love the Lord.

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today. Always remember that when you have a spiritual, emotional, relational, physical, or financial dilemma in your life, and you yell out, "I CAN'T," GOD Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN."
JESUS REIGNS!!! May God's Love, Peace, Strength and Grace be with all of you.
Your Sister in Christ,
