Are We Really Ready?

We talk about some of the promises of God. There are many in the Bible. These promises assure us, as believers, of His faithfulness and unfailing love.

When we have faith and are saved, our conversion should show itself in both fruit and works. Bearing fruit is your actions and the way you carry yourself. Works are deeds like looking after someone that is less fortunate than you.

We look at Psalm 110. It is a royal psalm. It is built around two statements from God. The first part is a prophetic oracle and the second part is a divine oath.

We look at some scriptures about being humble. We need to separate ourselves from the self-centered people who are proud and boastful. We need to think more of others and look at Jesus' examples to guide us.

We look at the story of King Ahaziah and his meeting with the prophet Elijah when fire fell from heaven and consumed many soldiers. We must remember that God is not only a God of love but also a God of judgement. 

This was the first city that Israel conquered in Canaan, the promised land. Joshua was obedient and followed the Lord's instruction. The walls came down and the evil city was destroyed.
