Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully continue our Feast today in 1 Kings - Chapter 16. We see how our God wants us to love him with all that we are. In reading this I thought two talents of silver that seems pretty cheap to by enough land to build a city on “In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned twelve years, six of them in Tirzah. He bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver and built a city on the hill, calling it Samaria, after Shemer, the name of the former owner of the hill.” 1 Kings 16:23 – 24. I looked up the note in study help that would tell me just how much silver that was. It is That is, about 150 pounds (about 70 kilograms) of silver. That sounded like a fair sum. What is the price paid for a sinner’s soul? You can look that up in John 3:16, find if you can fathom the price of our redemption.
I have hope that you will join me in prayer at admenu. If our Lord is willing, and I am here, I'll send and post the Feast tomorrow.
“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”- Colossians 3:17
