I HAVE BROUGHT YOU OUT

In this devotional meditation on Deuteronomy 6:23, I wrote three pages. This series of writings will be in the form of my conversation with my Shepherd. I hope it is not objectionable or confusing.

When God told Moses that He took responsibility for bringing the nation out of Egypt. His purpose was not just to relieve their physical pain and humiliation. He brought them out inorder to bring them in and to give them the land that He promised. This is still God's heart and purpose for us individually and as a corporate body of those who love Him.


"I HAVE BROUGHT YOU OUT (OF SLAVERY IN EGYPT), TO BRING YOU IN AND GIVE YOU THE LAND I PROMISED ABRAHAM."

This is the heart of God, to GIVE.
God initiates. He comes looking for me! To bring out, to bring in and to give.
He draws me out of my hiding places. . . He bids me come to Him.

"I have brought you out of your fear, your slavery to. . . .shame for. . .poverty.
I have brought you out OUT, so that I can bring you IN and GIVE you abundance of all I am and have."

Why Lord? Why would You do that for me?

"I have brought you out of yourself, into Myself, for the purpose of giving you more than you can ask of think now."

What have you brought me into Lord?

I have brought you into covenant! Into favor . . .into bliss . . .into blessings.
Into intimacy! Into the inner chambers of My heart.
Into peace! Into your created design and tranquility. Nothing missing or broken.
Into companionship! Into a place of hearing My voice.
Into partnership! Into a place of authority with Me. Your voice makes a difference.
Into an indestructable life! I have come looking for you to give you life abundant.
I AM . . .more than enough . . full cup and running over. . .goodness and mercy following on your heels.

Read and enjoy the blissfulness of God's "more than enough". Roamsn 5:17 John 10:10
