 SHOW THEM NO MERCY

Today's reading: Deuteronomy 7-9

"You must destroy all the nations the Lord God hands over to you. Show them no mercy and do not worship their gods. If you do, they will trap you." Deuteronomy 7:16 NLT

Has God had you stand on a mountain and look over all He has promised you?

Has He led you to believe success is yours? Victory is yours? Forgiveness is yours?

Has our Good God directed you into, and away from, a life of death and curses and into a life of blessings and life?

As He stood with you allowing you to catch a glimpse of all He has in store for you, did you hear Him say the words of this morning's verse?

It's important to know that dabbling in sin, revisiting old haunts and attempting to worship God and ourselves (or our little idols) will not work.

We cannot even lean into the idea of worshiping any but Him.

We cannot give in even to the smallest of tendencies to sin.

We cannot allow all He's done to be devoured up in a poor choice, no matter how well intending it may be or how very well controlled you think you are.

Sin traps.

Stay away from it, at all costs!
