Exodus 15:26 – “IF you will EARNESTLY listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, AND do what is right in His sight, AND give ear to His commandments, AND keep His statutes, I WILL put none of the diseases on you which I put on the Egyptians; FOR I, Yahweh am your healer.”

As I read, prayed, and pondered the Word of God, my heart cried out for revelation and refreshing.  My heart cried, “More, LORD, MORE!”  I am sensing a nudge in my heart to consider the Covenantal Blessings of Israel and the reality of the declaration of the writer of Hebrews that our Covenant is Better and comprised of Greater Promises.

As I prayed and mused on the world, I was immediately drawn to Exodus 15:26, and my heart exploded.  God promised Divine Health to them IF… The “if” is the problem for us, and it was for them. Paul’s words in Acts 26:20b resonate deeply – “repent and turn to God AND demonstrate it with a changed life!’”  This is not about mindless adherence to a set of human rules. It’s about a profound transformation of the heart, a sincere desire to obey and please God.

Exodus 19:5-6 is another promise from God’s Covenant to them. Remember, we have a Better Covenant containing Better Promises.  This promise is off the charts.   1 Peter 2:9 reveals that our destiny is to spiritually be God’s Royal Priesthood and His Holy Nation. We inherit the promises through salvation, and the Blessing of Abraham becomes ours!

Envision a life of divine health and abundant provision, not as a distant dream but as a present reality.  How do we reach this state?  Is it through physical death?  No, it’s about dying to our selfish desires and being resurrected in Him spiritually.  It’s about transformation and living in complete obedience to Him, with a hopeful expectation of His blessings!

That’s where we tend to hit the potholes of life.   We find it difficult to believe we (you and me) could have such a blessed life.  The Early Church lived in a state of provision that we only dream about.  Why? One key reason was that they believed the promise was theirs and Expected it to be their reality.  We dream of one day!  They lived in a consciousness that today was that day!

If we have a Better Covenant with Better Promises, it is time to press in and receive.  Yes, I’m speaking of a realm of Kingdom Living that few believe is truly possible. But if God does not lie, then it is an obtainable destination. Why Not Now?   Why Not Us?

Have a fantastic day, and keep looking to the hills of God for the promised help.  He will never fail us and never forsake us!   Rejoice and be glad, for your light has come!  

Have a Great Day!
