We Know

Last week there was an interesting conversation around a campfire. The discussion was about the new covenant and the old covenant, and how these two interact with each other.

Hebrews 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

As we were discussing these things we talked about the great miracles the children of Israel had seen. There was the plagues in Egypt, the Egyptians setting them free and giving them gold, silver, precious gems and livestock, the parting of the Red Sea, the destruction of Pharaoh, the manna, the quail, the water from a rock, and so on. Yet they struggled with trusting God would keep them alive.

Numbers 21:5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.

The difference we have, or one of the differences, is that we have the ability to know within us. The children of Israel saw God act, but only Moses took the time to know Him.

Psalms 103:7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

We have been given this great gift of the Law written in our hearts and minds that we might know the truth and the way that we should go. Our God has given unto us a more perfect covenant in the new covenant. We do not have to figure out of God is with us or not. We know.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are worthy of our praise. We ask that You send Your kingdom today among us. Give us overwhelming abundant provision. Forgive us when our faith falters and we do not trust. We are desperately in need of Your guidance and help. Heal us and deliver us. Let Your power be seen in the earth through us. In Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
