01Nov

7th Year 11-12 Edition 3 –I Sam 31 l The Feast l Nov 1_2012 I Sam 31 National Days of Prayer Day 35 of 40 Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully Feast in the book of I Samuel 30. Today as we read in 1st Samuel, Saul’s defeat and self destruction. We cannot make spiritual decisions about Saul’s choice. His just as our salvation is between him and God. Saul’s body and those of his sons were retrieved by the men of Jabesh-gilead. They burned their bodies and buried their bones. Then they fasted because they honored God’s chosen leader. “11 Now when the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 all the valiant men arose and traveled all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan; and they came to Jabesh and burned them there. 13 Then they took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.” I Samuel 31:11-13 New King James Version (NKJV). When a man accepts the Lord and turns his life over to Jesus, he begins a unique fellowship with God. You may know him by his fruit but not by the relationship God has forged with him. 40 Days of Prayer day 35, Prayer for our nation authored by, - Pastor Glen Aycock “40 DAYS OF PRAYER- DEVOTIONAL 35 SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 46:9-10. I am God and there is no other, I am God and there is none like me. I make known the end from the beginning, From ancient times, what is still to come. I say "My purpose will stand, and I will do as I please." The news over the last few days has captured much of the devastation and destruction left in the path of hurricane Sandy. I have seen and heard reports of fires, floods, untold wind damage, injury and death. At the individual level I realize that in a matter of hours, thousands of lives have been dramatically changed. What about the impact at a national level? My mind has conjured up multiple ways this could impact the Presidential election next week…none of which are positive. I thought, Why Lord? Why NOW Lord? Rather than dwelling on the possible negative impact on the election, I choose to remind myself of this truth from Isaiah 46:9-10. I do not know the answer to "Why?" But I do know the One who does. Creator God, Mighty God, Sovereign God, I will trust in You. You are my God. Our lives and times, this election and this nation and it’s future, are in Your hands. Provide for and comfort the thousands whose lives have been altered by Sandy; especially the poor, the children and the elderly. May Your perfect will be done. PRAYER: Help us to trust you and your perfect will. Amen ” When you think a believer is going off the right track with God, pray for him. We are not to rebuke or objurgate or be chin-wagging against them. See; 1 Thessalonians 4:6, Matthew 18:2, Deuteronomy 19:15. We do well to keep the first thing first, salvation through the blood of the lamb, Jesus. “the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,” Ephesians 1:18 NKJV .
