Day 1 – “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. “You shall have no other gods before Me.” (Exodus 20:2-3 NAS95)

““For I did not speak to your fathers, or command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices. “But this is what I commanded them, saying, ‘Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you will be My people; and you will walk in all the way which I command you, that it may be well with you.’” (Jeremiah 7:22-23 NAS95)

“God called Avraham to make of him a Family of Families to make a Covenant with him for the creation of humanity to be able to be known. God testifies to all of us about Avraham in these words: “Abraham heard in My Voice and guarded My protective guards, My mitzvot, My chukim, My toroot.” From the way that Abba worded this testimony about Avraham we can know for sure that God taught Avraham his protective guards. Note that God calls His mitzvot, His chukim, and His toroot the protective guards. Avraham understood what these protective guards guarded. He understood what happens if we guard the protective guards. He understood what happens if we do not guard the protective guards. Therefore, he guarded God’s Protective Guards, His mitzvot, His chukim, and His toroot. This Family of Families, God formed to be a Nation. A Nation that is a Family of Families to live and to guard The Covenant of Mt. Sinai. This Covenant shows us how to live as the humanity that God created humanity to be. The human relationships defined and guarded. And displayed from the Geography of The Land of Israel in the midst of the families of all the earth. This Covenant guards the true knowledge of the humanity that God created humanity to be from generation to generation. “

Think through this reality:

#1 You hear the LORD your God and right in the place you are at – acknowledge who He is and who you are knowing that:

—One, the new creation you, hidden in Messiah will not….lack your Sovereign
—Two, living The Covenanted Life, you will not…..live as an orphan

— Not living The Covenanted Life, your flesh is able to break any of The Ten Words.

Meditate on this verse and make notes of your thoughts.
