Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder
Be With Me is a daily 7 minute chronological walk through the New Testament hosted by Michael Smith. It is for everyone who is curious about what Jesus actually said and did in the gospels. Most episodes will leave you with at least one good thought to chew on for the rest of the day. We start with the Bible and hopefully end with Awe. We are walking through the chronological events of Jesus' life and then thoughtfully considering them. It is meant to spur the devotional life of the Christian and the not-yet-Christian. We occasionally venture into the Old Testament when it helps our understanding of the New Testament events. Everybody has 7 minutes. Everybody needs to wonder. Be With Me is hosted by Michael Smith who has absolutely no special qualifications to do a podcast. He is not a pastor. He has not been to seminary. He does not lead a mega-church. He is not a professional and he has no more credentials than you do. He does, however, follow a great God with an observant eye and a curious heart. Each day, he starts with a study bible and aims for astonishment. ‘be with him’ for 7 minutes as he sets out daily to discover the God who invites us to ‘Be With Me.’

Today will be about intercession, which is:
To Ask for another when they cannot ask
To Act for another when they cannot act
Remember for another when they have forgotten

To intercede is to
Ask for others when they cannot ask
Act for others when they cannot act
Remember for others when they have forgotten
And when others have lost their standing before God, we stand before Him on their behalf.
There is someone in your life that you can intercede for. Who is it?

How many days have you rebelled from God? For the Israelites, it was 14,600 days in a row. For a good friend of mine, it was 26242.
God writes a message to mankind on two tablets with HIS VERY FINGER. It is one of the first direct contacts with heaven. Later Jesus comes down to make even more contact with our world. So, no matter how many days it has been for you, please listen. Maybe it is time to stop rebelling and receive Him...
Could it be that the Lord choses a wicked people (Israel) to root out a wicked people (Anak's clan) to save a wicked people (You and me)?
If so, we should be pretty humble, no matter what people group we find ourselves in. We shouldn't be prideful of our wealth. (God gave His "money slap" in yesterday's passage.) Nor should we be prideful of the group of people that we woke up in today.
Listen and watch 7 ...
What happens if you love money more than God? Longing for money results in consequences that go beyond money. The Bible calls it an idol and some very unpalatable things will follow.
Moses and Paul both beg us: Don’t end up with ruin, destruction, a fall into a senseless and harmful desires, temptations and snares. Don’t disregard God and end up in ruin. Let's get this right in the next 7 minutes.

Christians do not have pride parades. They are in remorse over their pride
Don’t let your HEART BE LIFTED UP against the Lord. Specifically:
Be ready to be wrong about your powers to get wealth. If there are unique things that make you successful at your job, they came from the Lord.
Join me for 6.5 minutes to consider why I might be good at my job and how I got wealth. I have a superpower. Come discover what it is.

I have had a live hornet in my mouth for a moment. I am not recommending it.
Of note, one of the ways the Lord clears out the promised land for the promised people is, wait for it, HORNETS. Trust me, it is an effective tool to throw the people into confusion.

God is in the PURSUIT business. He pursues humans. Why? Well, it is not because of our amazing attributes. Here's how it goes:
1.Because of His love: He had plenty of it amongst the trinity. Always had a lot of love going on with the Persons. He never lacked for love.He could have been self contained but He did something with it:
2.Because He is a setter. He’s decided to “share the love.”He SET it ON you. He decided t...
He brings us out, that he might bring us in. Where?
To HIMSELF. He is the treasure. He is the reward. He is the prize.
Know that the LORD brings us out for a reason: It is to bring us into a relationship with HIMSELF.
And that, is the greatest treasure of all.

Watch 7 minutes with me as humans respond to 5 of the 10 commandments of God. If we finish today with ½ as good of a response, I think God will be pleased.
See what placing before them murder, adultery, stealing, lying, and coveting does to them. It doesn't harden their hearts. It MELTS their hearts...Just like it should ours.

Historians recently made a very big deal about finding a single ring in a castle in Poland. It was from the 11th century, gold, and found in a castle that housed kings.
Similarly, we should be treasuring the revelations that God gives us about Himself. One of His revelation tools is His LAW. It is older, more complete, comes with cross-references, and better describes its originator than a dusty old ring.
Make a big deal about it ...
If you sit in the butter tub of grace, what should you be thinking?

When our hearts go out to something that the Lord would have reserved for himself only, it is called idolatry. The Lord feels strongly about this. We should too. There are affections, treasures, connections, energy, time, and devotion due only to Him.
There is a place in your heart that is only for Him. Today, we'll see it and defend it together.

There is wonderful stuff, 3500 years old, that is for us TODAY. There are revelations and principles that are just as true today as they were fresh out of heaven's mouth.
Our challenge is to go find them. He's left treasures in the Old Testament for us to make new today. If you love the treasures of Deuteronomy and the "Old" Testament, you are a friend of mine. Friend, let's go find them.

Moses hears some news from God that he does not prefer. It involves not getting the desire of his heart to go into the promised land. He recounts God's goodness and might before he receives his charge: go get Joshua ready.
encourage Joshua: build COURAGE into him
Charge Joshua: build VISION into him
Strengthen Joshua: build TOUGHNESS into him.

Why does the Lord set His love upon people? Exactly how is that love for a specific people group, and later the world, enacted?
Join me as we watch the Lord destroy some kings and their sin, to make room for the people of God. Later, a Savior that fixes everybody's sin-problem will come from that people group.
