Deut. 5&6;Ps 43; Mark 14; 1 Peter 5

I write here because I want to talk to people about it.

Deut. 5:5 At that time I stood between the Lord and you to declare to you the word of the Lord, because you were too afraid of the fire and did not go up the mountain....

Is that true? wasn't Moses the only one called up the mountain? see Ex. 19...Ok...he's simply saying he went up the mountain and not them, they were afraid but never ertr invited up the mountain...So now do we need people between us and You? Christ....
To accept Christ is so humbling, to accept we can get to You but cannot without the forgiveness of Christ.....How do we approach people who believe in You but don't / aren't sure of Christ??
be so dependent on Christ ourselves, we begin to listen desperately for the Holy Spirit and You shine through us~ Jesus does....
I want that Abba, Jesus, Holy Spirit w/______ whom I am afraid of...any person I meet I am afraid of.......and in that fear I show me???

Deut. 5:29 Oh that their hearts would be inclined to fear and keep all my commands alays, so it might go well with them and their children forever.
msg...What I wouldn't give if they'd always feel this way, continuing to revere me and always keep my commands, they'd have a good life forever, they and their children.

Fear is different than afraid??
why am I more afraid of people and saying the wrong thing than of You?
fear = understanding??

We as a people have progressed in intelligence (?) and begun to believe we do it all. Everything that's been done or will be done is because of You and Your hands...You have allowed us to 'better' ourselves progress...and in that 'better' , that progress, we've lost how it is all You...
How to live in such a way as to begin a remembering process??
The person who created electricity for example, it's been simplified and perfected, the process, to where we flip switches without a thot as to where it comes from...we are so rarely surprised or awed. Instead we are expectant and entitled. How do we become awed again?
How do I live in such a way as to help people be surprised?
Depth of thot..it's rare......don't be afraid of saying the wrong thing - listen for You, Your Spirit to say the Godly thing.....

Deut. 6:5 Love the Lord,your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
msg....Love God, your God with all your WHOLE heart (empasis mine) , love him with all you've got!

Abba I want ~ I need to talk to someone about this...J1 or J2 stuff??
Do I want to talk about it to be challenged or affirmed??
Can't it be both? And if I'm not willing to be challenged how can I help anyone else??
I can't help anyone...
or is that just more of me being afraid?
Both
to live in both with you being challenged as much as being affirmed with You guiding every step ~ every word I speak....

Ps. 43
Rescue me
2 You are my God my stronghold
3 Send me your light and your faithful care,let them lead me
Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him , my Savior, my God
msg....Fix my eyes on God...He puts a smile on my face. He's my God

Mark 14:38 Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
msg.....Stay alert, be in prayer, so that you don't enter the danger zone without even knowing it. Don't be naive. Part of you is eager, ready for anything in God; but another part of you is as lazy as an old dog sleeping by the fire.

"Peter followed at a distance."
What if he'd stayed closer?
How do I stay close....alert and prayerful.

1 Peter 5 Not bossily telling others what to do, but tenderly showing them the way...

A sheepdog helping them to the Shepherd...Help me Abba...Help me.
