Giving God The Glory?

Today's Feast Sept. 11, 2015 – Joshua 7 Giving God The Glory? clic aquí en español Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. W e will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. “1 I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? 2 My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2, English Standard Version (ESV). Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Thank you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue the Feast reading Joshua, Chapter 7; “The Israelites smitten at Ai. (1-5) Joshua's humiliation and prayer. (6-9) God instructs Joshua what to do. (10-15) Achan is detected, He is destroyed. (16-26)” - Matthew Henry Concise. Be careful to continue to give God all the glory. Don’t take God’s glory or property for your own gain as you serve Him. We see that God gave His people victory over Jericho. However as we read today we see Achan took spoils from that which belonged to God. God is displeased with Achan to the extent that some of Achan’s fellow soldiers died in the next campaign. Now Joshua doesn’t understand why God would turn His back on the Israelite army. “10 The Lord said to Joshua, “Get up! Why have you fallen on your face? 11 Israel has sinned; they have transgressed my covenant that I commanded them; they have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen and lied and put them among their own belongings. 12 Therefore the people of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They turn their backs before their enemies, because they have become devoted for destruction. I will be with you no more, unless you destroy the devoted things from among you.” Joshua 7:10-12, ESV. As we serve our Lord give Him the Glory for he alone is worthy. As we serve God in love and faith allow him to reward each of us. “[ Choose Whom You Will Serve ] “14 “Now therefore fear the Lord and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:14, ESV. We are reading God’s word our faith is producing works. He is worthy of our praise and our love. Serve him faithfully and allow Him to reward you. “24 Only fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart. For consider what great things he has done for you.“ 1 Samuel 12:24, ESV. Saint, ask yourself if you’re willing to enter into a personal relationship with God? Are you able to serve God on his terms? Share His gifts giving Him all that is due to Him. ““You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16, ESV. Our personal relationship with Jesus allows us to freely share that which He has given us. Give up what you cannot keep for the gift you cannot loose. Be sure to keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of Jesus. I send the Feast out as the Holy Spirit inspires me. If the Lord Is willing I’ll send and post the Feast again tomorrow. Is Jesus knocking at your door? Are you ready to answer God’s call? If the answer is yes; today is the day of your salvation! Don’t wait another minute to leave, change or quit anything (see Revelation 3:20) Jesus is at knocking at your door this minute. He wants you to come just as you are, surrendering all! Will you answer Him today? Do you want to find true happiness, peace and purpose in your life?
