"they said, Hath the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the Lord heard it." - NUMBERS 12
THE CHOOSING
"there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God."
THE CHOSEN
Just because we have elections doesn't mean we choose our leaders. I didn't get to choose my parents or my police chief or my school principals . . . and our pastors and primary caregivers are not always persons of direct of our choosing.
THE CHOICE
Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
The law-giver, Moses was first a law breaker - a fugitive from justice -
God said :
"With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them" . . .
My attitude towards authorities if guided by scripture is one of submission and obedience.
A rebellious attitude invites disaster, divine judgement and is "the curse".
IS GOD'S PLAN THIS SIMPLE ?
Disobey = Curse
Obey = Blessing
Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day • And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God.
I ALONE MUST DECIDE.
What is my choice ?

with_God
Today it's very windy and it is cold. It is now 36 degrees F but feels like 7 below freezing ! but I had to walk, been neglecting my daily walk - it's final exams at school and I have a teaching engagement assignment I've been preparing for. It's scheduled for tomorrow.
So I'm out walking in the cold and this song from my Salvation Army days came to my mind:
1.
He walks with God
who speaks to God in prayer,
And daily brings to
him his every care;
Possessing inward peace,
he truly knows
A heart's refreshment
and a soul's repose.
2.
He walks with God who,
as he onward moves,
Follows the footsteps
of the Lord he loves,
And keeping him
forever in his view,
His Saviour sees and
his example too.
3.
He walks with God who
turns his face to Heaven,
And keeps the blest
commands by Jesus given;
His life upright, his end
untroubled peace,
Whom God will crown
when all his labors cease.

TRANSFORMING?
Proverbs 22:1 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
Building and keeping trust can be a challenge. I may not receive the favor I need from you because you are in a bad mood. But what if our "trust account" is overdrawn?
Will reputation defender be able to provide the credit or credibility repair that will solve our problem?
