We Need Each Other - And We Need The Lord.

Genesis 2:16
“The Lord God commanded the man”
Here, we have God’s command. He is concerned about us. He gives us His instructions about how we are to live. He knows what is best for us. Who are we to argue with Him?
Genesis 2:17
“you shall surely die.”
God is warning us. You can go your own way – but you will find that it is the way of death: “There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death” (Proverbs 14:12).
Genesis 2:18
“a helper suitable for him”
We are not left to go it alone. As well as receiving the Lord’s help, we are to help each other. Give help. Receive help. In everything, never forget this: “My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth” (Psalm 121:2); “Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth” (Psalm 124:8).

The Lord has reached out to us and claimed us for himself.

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord ,  the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!" (Psalm 33:12). Chosen by God, chosen to be blessed by him - the Lord has reached out to us and claimed us for himself. The Lord is our God. We are his people. The Lord has done great things for us. Let us give all the glory to him.  God is "holy" (Psalm 33:21). God is "love" (Psalm 33:22). When you're thinking about God's love, don't forget that he is holy. When you're thinking about God's holiness, remember that He loves you.

Lord, You're calling us to be spiritual leaders. Help us to be faithful in hearing Your Word and doing Your Word.

1 Chronicles 12:8-13:14  "The kingdom of Saul was turned over to David according to the Word of the Lord" (1 Chronicles 12:23). Lord, You're calling us to be spiritual leaders - "let us bring again the ark of our God" (1 Chronicles 13:7). We're to call the people to return to You and rejoice in You (1 Chronicles 13:4,8). We're to warn the people that failure to do Your will leads to the withdrawal of Your blessing (1 Chronicles 13:9-10). Where Your Word is honoured and given its rightful place, there will be blessing among Your people (1 Chronicles 13:14). Help us, Lord, to be faithful in hearing Your Word and doing Your Word. This is the way of obedience and blessing (James 1:22,25).
