Who Am I....my relationship with God through prayer

God designated the Levites to be in charge of the tablernacle (Number 3:6-9) and who will help. He also charges me to be in charge of my tabernacle, my bodies as Paul talks about in 1 Corinthians. He is quite specific about what the Levites are to do in and with the tabernacle. (Numbers 4; Numbers 8; 1 Chronicles9:27-29; Ezekiel 8:24-34) And if I truly listen, He is specific with me.

WHO AM I?.... my relationship to God through prayer

God was also specific with the Levites and what they were to supervise/manage. (Numbers 1:50) and how they were to serve. Only the Levites were to pitch tents around the tabernacle and to keep His word. Is that what God does for me? I truly believe when I go to Him in prayer and love He tells me how to serve and guard His word and distribute it as well.

I am the Lord Your God (part 3)

    And love is so wonderful that no matter how often we sin we are forgiven because we are his children. (Hoaea 3:1) God loves us so much that He frees us from what binds us and therefore demonstrates He truly is love. (Hosea 11:4)

I am the Lord your God (part 2)

    Love=God. God is love. When God told Moses “I am who am” love was included in that. God doesn't want any to come to harm, but He wants us all to live in peace. He has a great heart and wants all reconciled to Him. (Proverbs 10:12) Love is productive, and not in terms of personal gain but in terms of nourishing and caring for others. Love doesn't get frustrated but nourishes. (Proverbs 15:17), And God will not bear grudges but understands that both life and love are processes that we as humans have to make our way through, rather than to be beat down for not understanding how to do certain of the processes or for not even being able to do those processes, (Proverbs 17:9) Love is patient. And yet love exposes sin. This is so much of where Proverbs 27:5 is going, and puts me in mind of Paul's rebuke of Peter when Peter wouldn't sit with the Gentiles because of the Jewish Christians. Love exposed that Peter should have been sitting with all and not just the Jews. And Paul did so in a manner that may not have please our Equal Opportunity committes today but demonstrated to the leader of the church in Jerusalem at that time that not even he is without sin.
