What makes You so Special?

Deuteronomy 4:5-8 "Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it. Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for? And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?"

Psalm 119:97 "O how love I thy law! It is my meditation all the day."

People ask me all the time what makes you so special. Why does it seem that God favors you? Why do you seem to understand people and have wisdom about situations and circumstances? Why are you so different from me? 

Reading my Bible. I learn what His Commandments are when I study God's Word. I draw near to Him and He draws near to me. In the Bible, I learn what wisdom is. I am able to foresee troubles and make the right judgement. I gain discernment for evaluating situations and doing the right thing. The Bible, the Word whose author is the Creator of the universe.... Is where I get my wisdom, discernment, and understanding.

Obeying God's Commandments. Ever since I was really little, I wanted (more than anything) to become a godly woman. I strive to live daily as God wants me to. I strive to read my Bible, pray for others, honor my parents, and serve my God. Commandments that I read in God's Word... I strive to follow. It is a passion of my heart to follow after my Savior. He is the reason I am different.

Receiving the Same Blessing. Read and memorize your Bible. Follow His commandments as best as you can. These two important points are the reason why God has shown me favor and allowed me to be wise and discerning.
