The Lord YOUR God!

The Lord YOUR God!

By Pastor Nate

As I was reading the Word the other day I came across this verse:

Numbers 15:41 “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD your God.’”

I don’t know about you but I have heard the phrase “The Lord your God” so many times growing up.  I mean He says it three times in this one verse alone!

I remember hearing it in Sunday School when listening to the story about the Red Sea and when being taught the Ten commandments (Thou shalt love “the Lord your God”).

It seems this phrase is found, said, and heard so much that it is easy to overlook what “The Lord YOUR God” means!  Can you believe it? God is saying, “I’m their God!”  He is proud and boldly stating His desire to be the object of your affection!

Let me give you an example that may help you get what He is saying:

Do you remember when you were younger and there was “that one” boy or girl that everyone wanted to be friends with? Whoever was lucky enough to be “their friend” made sure that everyone else knew it! This is what God is saying! “I am THEIR God!” Its as if God is saying: “I’m in love, I’m in love and I don’t care who knows it!”

So the next time you come to God, no matter what the need, remember:

1.  He’s proud of you.

2.  There is nothing He won’t do For His special possession.

3.  Ask BIG! Because His love for you is even bigger!

1 Peter 2:9 “But you are…..God’s very own possession.  As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for He called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.”
