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.
We as humans are gifted with the fact that we are so short sighted and are seldom not in awe when things happen to us that may be out of the ordinary routine, whether for good or bad. Blind sided though we are we also demonstrate remarkable resiliance. I am part of that resiliance and am here to help, through my writings and through discussions with the reader. So sit back, buckle your seat belts, and enjoy the ride.

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.
