Ep. 95: Your One Word, God-honoring Theme for 2021 - a podcast by A Country Girl in a City World -- Loving Jesus
from 2021-01-03T21:00
In Podcast Episode 95, “Your One Word, God-honoring Theme for 2021,” Kim discusses the “One Word” annual challenge and how God can use this to help focus your spiritual growth journey in 2021. Just as we are entering a new season of life, as 2021 begins, the Israelites were continuing their preparation for moving from their wilderness years to the Promised Land. Moses’ wise words to them could easily be applied to your life, as you proceed further in your journey toward Christlikeness.
The primary scripture text for this episode is Deuteronomy 10:12-21:
12 “And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you? He requires only that you fear the Lord your God, and live in a way that pleases him, and love him and serve him with all your heart and soul. 13 And you must always obey the Lord’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good.
14 “Look, the highest heavens and the earth and everything in it all belong to the Lord your God. 15 Yet the Lord chose your ancestors as the objects of his love. And he chose you, their descendants, above all other nations, as is evident today. 16 Therefore, change your hearts and stop being stubborn.
17 “For the Lord your God is the God of gods and Lord of lords. He is the great God, the mighty and awesome God, who shows no partiality and cannot be bribed. 18 He ensures that orphans and widows receive justice. He shows love to the foreigners living among you and gives them food and clothing. 19 So you, too, must show love to foreigners, for you yourselves were once foreigners in the land of Egypt. 20 You must fear the Lord your God and worship him and cling to him. Your oaths must be in his name alone. 21 He alone is your God, the only one who is worthy of your praise, the one who has done these mighty miracles that you have seen with your own eyes.
