Deuteronomy 10 ~ MSG

12-13 So now Israel, what do you think GOD expects from you? Just this: Live in his presence in holy reverence, follow the road he sets out for you, love him, serve GOD, your God, with everything you have in you, obey the commandments and regulations of GOD that I'm commanding you today—live a good life.
14-18 Look around you: Everything you see is GOD's—the heavens above and beyond, the Earth, and everything on it. But it was your ancestors who GOD fell in love with; he picked their children—that's you!—out of all the other peoples. That's where we are right now. So cut away the thick calluses from your heart and stop being so willfully hardheaded. GOD, your God, is the God of all gods, he's the Master of all masters, a God immense and powerful and awesome. He doesn't play favorites, takes no bribes, makes sure orphans and widows are treated fairly, takes loving care of foreigners by seeing that they get food and clothing.

19-21 You must treat foreigners with the same loving care—
remember, you were once foreigners in Egypt.
Reverently respect GOD, your God, serve him, hold tight to him,
back up your promises with the authority of his name.
He's your praise! He's your God!
He did all these tremendous, these staggering things
that you saw with your own eyes.
22 When your ancestors entered Egypt, they numbered a mere seventy souls. And now look at you—you look more like the stars in the night skies in number. And your GOD did it.

I'm so in love with Our God! He wants the very best for us and tells us all throughout His Word. Live in MY presence! Follow the road I set out before you! Love Me, serve Me with everything you have in you and throughout everything you do! Live a good life! Seriously, what do we have to complain about or want??? We go without nothing and have so much more than we deserve!

I love Earth Day! I marvel in God's awesome creation and all He has blessed us with. From the birth of a precious new baby to the birds chirping in the morning, and fresh beautiful plants and flowers rising up from the ground, it's all for us from Him and He chose us to enjoy every bit of it! Wow! Lets work together to respect, appreciate and bring all of Gods creation one step closer to being one body. I can hardly contain the joy I feel when I read the last verse. We may have started small in number BUT one day we will look more like the stars in the night skies! Lets burn to see lives saved and forever changed through the power of Our Father!
