Deuteronomy 5:16 “Honour your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the Lord your God is giving you.

God’s commandments were carefully selected (by God, not Moses) to be easily remembered and essential to our Christian way of life. None are to grievous to follow, and yet all are broken regularly.

Christ’s reminder to the disciples was to love God and love our neighbours because all of the commandments become a whole lot easier to keep and follow when we do express our love towards others.

It’s not rocket science – it’s simple Christianity.

Judges 7:21 While each man held his position around the camp, all the Midianites ran, crying out as they fled.

God did not require Gideon to be the strongest man or harshest ruler; just to listen to Him and obey God.

When Gideon’s army had been whittled down to virtually nothing, God then stepped in and used His powers for a hundred obedient men!

God wants us to listen to His will and to obey His requests in our lives. We don’t have to rule the world or break the world, we just have to have God on our side doing the fighting for us!

Psalm 33:16 No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength.

No matter how much I am able to do on computers and how much the global internet can do together – none of that will get us into heaven!

No king or queen stayed in power for too long when they were not wanted by the people; some dictators may rule for a long time, but the truth brings them down.

God is the truth and God has ultimate power over everything and everyone; He also has the power to answer your prayers!

Psalm 44:6 I put no trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory;

What do you really trust in life? I’m not talking about everyday objects like chairs but rather the tools you may use in your life to accomplish your goals.

I use computers for just about everything I do, but I always ask God for guidance in sorting things out – I know Jesus did not have computers when He was on earth, but God does know more than we think!

Using spiritual weapons is far more powerful than any earthly weapon we may choose, so back up your life with God’s guidance!
