if...

there's a great little book out there by my favorite writer of all times called "IF". this book will make you think! i recommend it to those who desire a deeper walk with the Lord. this little word has made me consider a passage of scripture...

Isaish 48.18 "if only you had paid attention to MY commandments"

i know that the Lord's commands are not there to harm us but to ultimately protect us. AND protect us indeed. the closer i get to the Lord the more i realize i am in a battle NOT of my own. yet, if i pay attention to His commandments i'm safe. very safe....
so many times though i think i can do it on my own and it just makes a bigger mess. today i'm thinking of this little word and being grateful that today i'm paying attention...

for i know that IF,
" i was sold for nothing and i will be redeemed without money" (but by His blood) Is. 52.3
