In Word And Deed! – 1 Chronicles 17

In Word And Deed! – 1 Chronicles 17          Feb 27, 2013 - 1 Chronicles 17 Return to Admenu Home Dear  Saints, Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 17.   King David is of a mind to build a proper house.  The Lord our God stopped him.  He revealed to David that He would build a home for him; “25 “You, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build a house for him. So your servant has found courage to pray to you. 26 You, Lord, are God! You have promised these good things to your servant. 27 Now you have been pleased to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever in your sight; for you, Lord, have blessed it, and it will be blessed forever.”” 1 Chronicles 17:25-27, English Standard Version (ESV).  God promised to take care of David just as he has promised for you and me. Like David we should be ready to serve God in our actions.  “Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.”  1 John 3:18 ESV.    As we serve our Lord Jesus, we should make sure that we walk truthfully in His light.   Keeping the first thing first; that is salvation through the blood of the Lamb.  Be ready at all times to purposely serve God in word and deed.

Posted 2/27/2013 LOVE OF GOD SERIES: SCRIPTURE: JOHN 17: 17- 26 17 ¶ Make them holy—consecrated—with the truth; your word is consecrating truth. 18 In the same way that you gave me a mission in the world, I give them a mission in the world. 19 I’m consecrating myself for their sakes so they’ll be truth-consecrated in their mission. 20 ¶ I’m praying not only for them but also for those who will believe in me Because of them and their witness about me. 21  The goal is for all of them to become one heart and mind—Just as you, Father, are in me and I in you, So they might be one heart and mind with us. Then the world might believe that you, in fact, sent me. 22 The same glory you gave me, I gave them, so they’ll be as unified and together as we are— 23 I in them and you in me. Then they’ll be mature in this oneness, and give the godless world evidence that you’ve sent me and loved them in the same way you’ve loved me. 24 ¶  Father, I want those you gave me To be with me, right where I am, So they can see my glory, the splendor you gave me, Having loved me Long before there ever was a world. 25 Righteous Father, the world has never known you, But I have known you, and these disciples know That you sent me on this mission. 26 I have made your very being known to them—Who you are and what you do—And continue to make it known, So that your love for me Might be in them Exactly as I am in them. Loved like God Loved Jesus As a young man I used to get love letters and I cherished those letters. I built a special letter box with a lock so they were reserved for my eyes only. From time to time I would pull them out and read them to reassure that I was loved. That was a puppy love experience but my relationship with Christ is real love. Christ prayed for me: • “Make him Holy, Consecrated (set apart for service). • Give Him a Mission in the World. • Give Him Maturity in oneness in the Spirit. • “I want you to love them like me”. PRAYER THOUGHT: Dear Jesus, let everyone who reads this devotional realize that this is what God prayed especially for them. Thank you Jesus. Amen.
