(Deut 8:3 [KJV])
And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
The Lord opened up the Windows of Heaven in Exodus and fed His Children. He did not feed the whole world. He fed those who were His and kept His Commandments. Those who disregarded His Word on this Matter went back and tried to harvest on the same day they had been doing so which was on the Seventh Day or Yom. They did not profit to disregard God's Word. The Bible says," What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world but lose his soul?"
When the Lord speaks a word concerning a matter He means what He says. He has not changed in that sense. He again went to Moses and told Him if the people would keep His commandments that His Word Had not changed but went forth as He said to accomplish that which it set out to do. His Word never returns to Him void. It is a matter forever settled in heaven. Surely some of them out of ignorance or just plain rebellion refused to regard the Word of the Lord but they were not blessed for it. His people who had faith in His Word however were blessed.
Why is it that people think they are so special and that the God we serve, even the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the image of the invisible God made flesh does not uphold His own Word?
He is the Word read John 1:1 It says the Word was God. The Bible also says that He is the Manna come from Heaven. He is the Bread of Life. We are not to live by bread alone meaning the bread that we labour for but every Word which proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
When we live by our own means and break the Word of the Lord we cannot expect Him to bless us. He did not start it in the beginning...see Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deut etc
and He is not going to start doing it now. Obey His Word. Keep watch over His Word. Is He not our High Priest seated in the Heavenlies ever keeping watch over His Word to perform it?
(Heb 4:14 [KJV])
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
Faith and Obedience walk hand in Hand. You cannot have One and not the other and please the Lord. It does not work that way.
(Gen 26:3 [KJV])
Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
(Gen 26:4 [KJV])
And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
(Mic 7:20 [KJV])
Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
(Gen 26:5 [KJV])
Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
So then we as Children of God will be blessed if we keep His Word.
The old song that rings out," Every promise in the Book is Mine. Every Chapter, every verse
every line" is still true today.
(Gal 3:29 [KJV])
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Many times people are deceived in believing that they have nothing to do on their part except believe. That is deceiving. We have to have faith and faith is active. Faith without works is dead. We do not get to heaven by works alone nor do we get to heaven by faith alone. A person can believe something yet never put that belief into action. The devils believe there is One God and they tremble the Word says. A person can be a devil inside and know the Bible is true yet refuse to serve Jesus so believing alone is not enough. That does not save you. It needs to be taken a step farther. Believing the house is on fire is fine but if you sit there and go to your death burning because you were too stubborn to get out of the fire zone to a place of safety then your belief does not profit you whatsoever. We have to be doers of the Word not just hearers. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of the Lord. It all works together for good!
Jesus Bless You as You Live for Him!
