CERTAIN PEOPLE

DEUTERONOMY 28: 13, 14

And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath. If thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy GOD, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them. And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

"Certain people", the people who are certain that the LORD GOD is the One GOD, will strive to follow the LORD and obey what He commands.  There are certain blessings attached to being faithful "certain people". Included in these blessings are, that you will always be the head and not the tail, because the LORD said so; above only and not beneath. The condition for receiving the rich blessings of GOD is that He alone be glorified and His commandments followed faithfully. 

 

Do you ever feel that you are losing ground in your life? Do you feel that you are not able to move ahead? Do you feel inferior to others? Then look deeply into the Word of the LORD and you will find that, in Christ JESUS you will gain all the promises of GOD; you will leap ahead in your life and you will know the joy of being the "head and not the tail".

 

I am reminded that JESUS followed all the commands of His Father and never turned to the right or to the left. He observed all the commandments and did them. Now, through JESUS, we are not under the law, but under grace. Now, it is out of love for GOD that we observe what He commands, and we do what He says. When we fail to do all that He commands, we have an Advocate who bestows the grace of forgiveness to us.  We are never the tail, we are only the head, because of the Grace and mercy of GOD for His children whom He loves and who love Him.

 

The new commandment, sealed with the Blood of JESUS is to Love as He loved and do as He did. Love the LORD GOD with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets. GOD spoke the law of Love in Deuteronomy 6: 4, 5. His Law of unconditional Love has never changed, it has only become stronger. JESUS was the personification of the Law of Love and He fulfilled all of the Law through His life. Grace, mercy and unconditional love is the embrace of GOD around our heart.
