I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. Deuteronomy 5:6
I AM…….the all knowing, all powerful, all loving LORD your God who rescues those who call out and follow.
No child EVER has been satisfied with the answer, “Because I’m the grownup, that’s why.” But every adult I know has used this as their ‘go to’ phrase in a quick pinch. God having every justifiable right to say, “Because I’m God, that’s why!” has chosen to indulge.
“I brought you out of slavery, I have protected you, fed you, provided all your needs and I’m not going to stop, that’s why!”
Yes we must obey because He is God, but He reminds us that love is His singular agenda, our response can only be trusting love in action.
Have a great Wednesday!
