When God Breaks His Own Rules

Scripture;

““No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants for ten generations may be admitted to the assembly of the Lord.”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭23:3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

This Scripture forbids Ammonites and Moabites, and their descendants, from being admitted into he assembly of the Lord.  I’ve recently been doing a study of women of the Bible on Wednesday nights. Today I realized that Ruth was a Moabite and the ancestor of king David and eventually King Jesus.  God will break His own rules when He sees a heart that wants to serve Him completely.

Application:

God is God and He can do whatever He wants.  He makes His rules and sometimes He will break His own rules because He sees the heart of a person who truly wants to follow Him.  This gives great hope to me and all those who feel they have messed up in the past and forfeited the plan of God.  God doesn’t look at who you think you are, but at your heart and will honor those how honor Him, no matter what they have done wrong.

Prayer:

Father, You are incredible.  There is no God like our God.  You look straight at the heart instead of the Law.  You will bypass the Pharisees to touch a heart that is truly seeking You.  You accept those who are suppose to be rejected.  You love all people, regardless of their lineage.  Help me to love and respect people of all races, colors, languages and creeds, just like You do.

Your Son,
Jeff
