Good Father

Last week we started Good Father. Hux says it will be his favorite series he has ever preached and after last week I think I may have to jump on that bandwagon. If you missed it, I'm sorry but this post may not do it justice!

My husband preached that God isn't out to make our lives miserable. He isn't a kill-joy. He came to give us life to the FULL. God is FOR YOU! He sets boundaries for us to protect us. He wants to keep you from harmful things and keep harmful things from you.

16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” Genesis 2:16-17

Is God your LORD GOD? or just a god to you? 

"Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

Everywhere in Genesis 2 & 3, God is referred to as "Lord God" but when Satan refers to Him, he refers to Him just as "God". God wants to be your LORD God!

Never put a question mark where God puts a period. God told Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree...period! Satan will always try to question what God has commanded...."Did God really say not to eat from the tree???"

We overstep boundaries when we QUESTION God's COMMANDS!

God knows WHAT you need and WHEN you need it! God doesn't hold out on you!

When you ask, "how far can I get until I cross the line?" You are asking, "how far can I get to sin?"

It's easier to obey God when you understand everything He does is because He loves you.

For the Lord God is a sun and shield;

    the Lord bestows favor and honor;

no good thing does he withhold

    from those whose walk is blameless. Psalm 84:11

You are good, and what you do is good... Psalm 119:68
