It's not about the music, it's not about the lyrics but it's about your heart...!

Deuteronomy 8:2-3, 6-9, 18 NKJV

And you shall remember that the Lord your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and  test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord . “Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him. For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper. “And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it  is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it  is this day.

Shalom! Day #115. Do you know that humbleness is the beginning of greatness in God? Let's pray. Father, let us not steal Your glory but be humbled by Your love, grace and mercy. It's not by our strength nor by our might but it's by Your spirit that's at work in us. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

In James 4:10 says, "humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord,  and He will lift you up." Humbleness is the beginning of greatness in God. Humbleness is the beginning of greater success.  Humbleness is the beginning of healing and restoration. In today's passage, we learned that God had to humble the Israelites because they were so arrogant and that's the reason God had to really break them and allowed them to go through a time of wilderness where self dependency is broken and they began to depend on God alone. So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord. Many people need to be broken in one way or another and God just know the way how to break them. When they are broken before God then He is able to begin to process of healing and restoration in them. When we serve God, it's not about how talented we are or how gifted we are or how good we preach and minister and so on, but it's all about your heart to God. God led you all the way in the wilderness, to humble you and  test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.

In serving God, our dependency must be fully upon God. God says that man shall not live on bread alone but from every words that proceeds from the mouth of God. Man shall not serve God with all his talents, giftings, his own abilities, his own wisdom only but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God! Break the self dependency spirit and mentality.  Meaning to say that not by strength nor by might but by His Spirit alone! As I mentioned earlier,  Humbleness is the beginning of greatness in God. Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him. For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper. And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it  is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it  is this day. When you humble yourselves and lift the name of Jesus, He shall lift you up before man. One simple theory we must know is that we shine because the glory of God is upon us amd not because we are so excellent or whatsoever. Let me tell you something,  WITHOUT GOD WE ARE NOTHING! When you humble yourselves before God,  He shall cause His blessings to overflow upon you, woww! It's not about the music, it's not about the lyrics, but it's about your heart ♥♡♥♡.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
