Its A Now Vow! – Deuteronomy 5:3

3 God didn't just make this covenant with our parents; he made it also with us, with all of us who are alive right now.

– Deuteronomy 5:3

Its A Now Vow!

God is a "now" God.  He's up with all the latest trends and He's way ahead of all the latest tech gadgets.  He knows what we do, and how we live, and where we go, and He understands the latest "it" thing that the enemy will use to try to pull our attention away from Him.  He is spreading His Word through all the social media outlets and the message of Christ is being spread throughout the world in ways that our parents could never have imagined.  God is a "now" God, and we are His people, right here, and right now.

I think that we can tend to think of God as an "old testament" kind of God; speaking in King James and communicating to us through burning bushes, and while it's true that we can look to the old testament to get a glimpse into the nature of God, in my opinion, we should think on HIm as a current God who delights in how far we've come, and who loves the fact that we love Him in spite of the "enlightened" age in which we live.  The enemy has been working hard to make us believe that God is irrelevant, but despite his best efforts, God's people continue to grow stronger every day, and His family, throughout this big blue marble on which we live, continues to to expand as the tools the enemy has designed to get us away from Him, actually help to spread His Gospel.

How do you think of God?  Do you imagine Him as in the old testament, and do you think of His promises as only for that time?  If so, try imagining Him moving and working in today's world.  It might help your faith by thinking about His promises as for today – for all of us who are living right now – so they are current and relevant to the situations and circumstances we find ourselves in, right now.

God is timeless.  He doesn't age, and He doesn't expect us to live in the past.  He moves forward with us.  He lives with us.  He is all about right now.  So why not grab ahold of Him right now.  Hold on to the promises He has given you for today.  Run after the "now" God, the Big God, the God who sees you and who loves you so much.  He's here for you . . . right here . . . right now.

Prayer

Father, Thank You for knowing us today.  Help us to know You as the current God that You are – never late, never too far ahead, but right now.  Help us to grasp the fullness of Your promises which are new, just for us, every morning.

Have a blessed day everyone!
