Shalom,
During this week of Thanksgiving today's "Faith Food" devotional by Kenneth E. Hagin is a great reminder of where our hearts should be!
A Great PlanChrist hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree. — GALATIANS 3:13
Part of the inheritance that Colossians 1:12-14 tells us we should be giving thanks to the Father for, is “. . . redemption through his blood . . . ” (verse 14).
What are we redeemed from? From the curse of the law. And what is the curse of the law? The only way to find out, is to go to the law and see what it says the curse is.
The term “the law,” as found in the New Testament, refers to the first five books of the Bible, the Pentateuch. Reading there, we find that the curse, or punishment, for breaking God’s law is threefold:
1. Spiritual death (Genesis 2:17)
2. Poverty (Deuteronomy 28:15-68)
3. Sickness (Deuteronomy 28:15-68)
Galatians 3:13 tells us that Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, and Colossians 1:12-14 tells us to thank God for our redemption! We are to thank the Father for this great plan of redemption which He planned and sent the Lord Jesus Christ to consummate!
Confession: Thank You, Father, for Your great plan of redemption which You planned and sent the Lord Jesus Christ to consummate! Thank You because I am redeemed from death! Thank You because I am redeemed from poverty! Thank You because I am redeemed from sickness! Thank You, Father!
I hope that you will continually cultivate an 'attitude of gratitude' to our wonderful GOD for all that He HAS done and all that He is about to do! Here is Brandon Lake with "Gratitude":
Shalom in Him!
