God's Words of Wisdom

"Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 21 December 2012, from Cindi, a Daughter of the Kings of kings and Lord of lords."

Today's Bible Verse: Commandment Number 10 of God's Ten Commandments

Commandment Number 10: Exodus 20:17 "You shall not covet your neighbors house; you shall not covet your neighbors wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, or his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbors."

The word covet means "to have a strong desire for."  Coveting is not merely an application of something from a distance, but a uncontrolled, inordinate, selfish desire.  This Tenth Command
governed an internal matter: for the sin of coveting occurred in the mind.    

This demonstrated that God intended the Israelites not only to avoid the actions named in the previous commands, but also to turn away from the evil thoughts that led to these actions.  To want something which God has chosen to give to another, reveals a failure to give God priority in our lives.

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."

Today's Bible Verse: Commandment Number 9 of God's Ten Commandments

Commandment Number 9: Exodus 20:19 "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor." 

Commandment Number 9, prohibited bearing false witness.  First, the command protected the reputation of the people from libel to others.  Second, this command established the Israelite system of justice on a firm foundation.  In Israelite law, the judging of a persons guilt or innocence was based on testimony by faithful witnesses.  False witnesses could and would under mind justice.

This command includes, but goes beyond testimony given in court.  False testimony in any malicious statement intended to degrade or harm anyone.  The reputation of others as well as there property is to be guarded by all.

Today's Bible Verse: Commandment Number 8 of God's Ten Commandments

Commandment Number 8: Exodus 20:15 "Thous shall not steal."

Before I begin, as you all know by now a gunmen went into an elementary school of kids 5-10 and opened fire killing 20 children and 6 Adults. Please uplift up the families in Prayer who lost children and loved ones in this senseless shooting of  children and school officials.  Pray that God's Love, Peace, Strength, and Comfort be with all the families.

The Eighth Commandment of God's Ten Commandments protected the sanctity of property by prohibiting theft.  The commandment prohibits stealing of ANY kind.  The concern here is not so much the rights of the individuals property, as for the destructive impact of stealing on relationships within the community.

The penalty for theft in the Old Testament is not jail, but restitution by paying back as least twice which was stolen.  Payment to the victim is intended to restore harmony by balancing the books, and is not punitive.  In our society today, stealing can led to probation, jail time, and in more serious thief's, prison time.  In some Third World Countries the penalty for stealing is cutting off of the hands.

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."

God's Words of Wisdom

"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for Thursday 13 December 2012, from Cindi, a Daughter of the King of kings, and Lord of lords."

Today's Bible Verse: Commandment Number 7 of God's Ten Commandments

Commandment Number 7: Exodus 20:14 "You shall not commit adultery."

The Seventh Commandment concerned "adultery."  God regards the sanctity of marriage as a sacred trust similar to the sanctity of life.  The integrity of relationships is critical in the eyes of God.  The faithfulness of a man and a woman to each other reflects faithfulness of God to His people.  Scripture sees adultery, as a sin against God, a denial of the marriage covenant that binds a couple to the Lord.

Jesus, in Matthew 6:27-28 says, "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not commit adultery.'  But I say to you, that whoever looks at a woman to lust after her, has already committed adultery with her in his heart."  Jesus in this passage, tells us that ANYONE who gazes at another with the purpose of wanting that person sexually has mentally committed adultery.

The sanctity of marriage is very important to God and that when a couple go into the Marriage, and repeat the Wedding Vows to each other it is binding in the eyes of the Lord.  God performed the first wedding when he made Adam and Eve after His image, and brought them together in the Garden of Eden.  As a christian Man and Woman it is very important to find a mate who is also a Christian that the marriage must bring Glory and Honor to God.

Today's Bible Verse: Commandment Number 6 of God's Ten Commandments

Commandment Number 6: Exodus 20:13: "You shall not murder."

Commandment Number 6 through 9 were designed to build a cohesive society.  Each was based on people (their lives, their relationships, their property, and their reputation.)  Each of Commandments six through nine were reaffirmed in the New Testament.

"You shall not murder" did not forbid all taking of life, for the Law itself, included provisions of capital punishment as well as warfare.  The deliberate murder of another person flagrantly, violated the the sanctity of life.

The first murder in the Bible occured in Genesis 4:8-18 when Cain killed Abel.  But the most read about murder of all time, is located in the New Testament, and was the murder of Jesus which was based on false charges and an illegal trial, conducted by the Jewish Religious Leaders.

"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 8 December 2012, from Cindi, a Daughter of the King of kings and Lord of lords."

Today's is Number 5 in God's Ten Commandments

Commandment Number 5: Exodus 20:12: "Honor you father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord Your God is giving you."

Honor your father and mother means, "to treat with significance," "to treat with respect." Care of ones elderly parents was a basic element of social responsibility.  Here it is tied directly to how a person would fare in the land.  People who are faithless to God in disregarding their parents, would not last long in the New promised Land.

Parents are God's instruments in a child's life, to meet his or her physical needs, and introduce the child to God's ways.  The spiritual priority of parents is seen in many of Israel's religious ceremonies, such as the Passover Meal, which was conducted within the Family.

Deuteronomy 6 and 11, fix responsibility for naturing in the home.  It's significant that in the predominantly "male" Old Testament World "mother" is given equal status, and even listed first in Leviticus 19:3.

"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 4 December 2012, from Cindi, a daughter of the King of kings and Lord of lords."

Today is Number 4 in the Series on God's Ten Commandments

Commandment Number 4: Exodus 20:8 "Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy."

The fourth of the Ten Commandments, "remember the Sabbath Day," was the special sign of the covenant at Mount Sinai.  With this command God set Israel apart from her neighbors.  Other people had there own various patterns of work and rest, but Israel was to set apart one day in seven for rest.

The word "Sabbath" means "rest."  The day was kept holy by ceasing their labor on that day.  During the Sabbath, the Israelites worshiped God and recalled His deliverance of them from slavery.  The pattern of six days of work, and one for rest was established by God Himself in the Creation, and God's people were to honor Him, by refraining from work on the seventh day.

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 are having 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."
