Take Possession of the Land

 

“Now, hear the statutes and decrees 

which I am teaching you to observe, 

that you may live, and may enter in 

and take possession of the land 

which the Lord, the God of your fathers, 

is giving you." 

(Deuteronomy 4:1)

All good giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no alteration or shadow caused by change (Jas 1:17). 

God willed to give you birth by the word of truth that you may be the kind of firstfruits of His creatures (Jas 1:18). Humbly welcome the word that has been planted in you and is able to save your souls (Jas 1:21). Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deluding yourselves (Jas 1:22). 

Jesus said, “This people honors Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me; In vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines human precepts. You disregard God’s commandment but cling to human tradition.” (Mk 7:6-8)

In your observance of the commandments of the Lord, your God, you shall not add nor subtract from it (Dt 4:2). Observe them carefully, for thus will you give evidence of your wisdom and intelligence (Dt 4:6). What great nation has statutes and decrees that are as just as this whole law which I am setting before you today?” (Dt 4:8) Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained by the world. (Jas 1:27)

Whoever walks blamelessly and does justice; who thinks the truth in his heart and slanders not with his tongue (Ps 15:2). Who harms not his fellow man, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor; by whom the reprobate is despised, while he honors those who fear the Lord (Ps 15:3-4). Who lends not his money at usury and accepts no bribe against the innocent. Whoever does these things shall never be disturbed. (Ps 15:5)

O God, You have taught me from my youth, and till the present I proclaim Your wondrous deeds (Ps 71:17). My mouth shall declare Your justice, day by day Your salvation (Ps 71:15). On you I depend from birth; from my mother’s womb You are my strength (Ps 71:6). Be my rock of refuge, a stronghold to give me safety, for You are my rock and my fortress (Ps 71:3).

Take Possession of the Land

" You took possession of their land, 

and I destroyed them, 

the two kings of the Amorites, before you. "

(Joshua :8)

Thus says the Lord: “I gave you a land that you had not tilled and cities which you had not built, to dwell in; you have eaten of vineyards and olive groves which you did not plant (Jos 24:13). Go outside and stand on the mountain before the Lord; the Lord will be passing by (1 Kgs 19:11). Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid” (Mt 14:27). 

A strong and heavy wind was rending the mountains and crushing rocks before the Lord—but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake—but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake there was fire—but the Lord was not in the fire. After the fire there was a tiny whispering sound. (1 Kgs 19:11-12)

If a man is virtuous—if he does what is right and just, if he lives by my statutes and is careful to observe my ordinances, that man is virtuous—he shall surely live, says the Lord God. (Ez 18:5,9)

Hear what God proclaims; the Lord, for He proclaims peace. Near indeed is His salvation to those who fear Him, glory dwelling in our land. The Lord Himself will give His benefits; our land shall yield its increase. (Ps 85:9-10, 23) 

Kindness and truth shall meet; justice and peace shall kiss. Truth shall spring out of the earth, and justice shall look down from heaven. Justice shall walk before Him, and prepare the way of His steps. (Ps 85:11-12,14)

Jesus said, “Not all can accept this word, but only those to whom that is granted. Some are incapable of marriage because they were born so; some, because they were made so by others; some, because they have renounced marriage for the sake of the Kingdom of heaven. Whoever can accept this ought to accept it.” (Mt. 19:11-12)

Lord Jesus, truly, You are the Son of God (Mt. 14:33). I give thanks to You my Lord, for You are good, for Your mercy endures forever; I give thanks You the God of gods, for Your mercy endures forever; I give thanks to You the Lord of lords, for Your mercy endures forever (Ps 136:1-3). 21 You made our land a heritage, for Your mercy endures forever (Ps 136:21).
