Do not return to the vomit...

Exodus 32:7, 9 NKJV

And the Lord said to Moses, “Go, get down! For your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves.  And the Lord said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and indeed it is a stiff-necked people!

Shalom! Day #65. Do you realize something, that each time we go back to our vomit and we began to have self-pity on ourselves for allowing things to happen in our lives? Let's pray. Father forgive us for the things we have done knowingly and unknowingly. There are times where we felt self pity and condemning ourselves, as a matter of fact You have redeemed us totally. Forgive us and give us the strength to commit our past totally into Your hands and never to look back. In Jesus name we ask and pray. Amen!

The Israelites, came out of Egypt, yet they still prefer what lies in Egypt. Instead of giving thanks to the Lord, they felt like it is better to be In Egypt rather than being in the wilderness. They were so stubborn and always complaining. Most of us are like them as well. When the Lord has taken us out from the pit we were, cleanses us thoroughly and give us the garment of righteousness, yet sometimes we tend to linger in the past. And when it overpowered us, we give in to it's schemes and feel defeated by it. When we say, Lord set me free, it means a total freedom from being a slave to our past. But sometimes we dont really get it into our head! When Jesus said IT IS FINISHED, it means it has been settled once and for all. You are no longer bound to your past.

Yet we always choose to corrupt ourself. We are the ones that gives the devil a footstool of our lives, so he comes to steal, kill and destroy. Recently, a friend, she has been delivered from her past, but a few days later she give in to her pity party condition and allow her past to overtake the promises of God In her lives. I believe she has been delivered fully, YES, but it is her will allowing the past to overtake her. God does not promise to give us everything we think is good, but he will not withhold what is permanently good. He will give us the means to walk along his paths, but we must do the walking. When we obey him, he will not hold anything back that will help us serve him.

IT IS FINISHED!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
