Love and Trust Him The Bible says: “Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget
the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing,
which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee. For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves,
and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God,
to provoke him to anger: I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off
the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be
destroyed. And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither
the LORD shall lead you. And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear,
nor eat, nor smell. But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with
all thy heart and with all thy soul. When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even
in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; (For the LORD thy God is
a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto
them.” Deuteronomy 4:22-31 (KJV) Robert, an experienced sky diver, was readying himself for
a jump when he spotted another man outfitted to dive wearing dark glasses, carrying a white cane and holding a seeing-eye
dog by a leash. Shocked that the blind man was also going to jump, Robert struck up a conversation, expressing his admiration
for the man’s courage. Then curious, he asked, “How do you know when the ground is getting close?” “Easy,” the blind man replied. “The leash goes slack.” He is a God of love, but He is also a jealous God and He demands we trust Him, love Him and serve Him! He will see
us safely through! Daily Chronological Bible Reading:
