Today’s
Feast
Oct.
6,
2015 – Judges 8
What
Are Our Circumstances?
Please
join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about
fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s
Word in approximately three years.
“4
Trust
in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.",
Isaiah
26:4,
English Standard Version (ESV).
Dear
Saints,
Thank
you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue the Feast in Judges
Chapter
8;
“Gideon
pacifies the Ephraimites. (1-3)
Succoth and Penuel refuse to relieve Gideon. (4-12)
Succoth and Penuel punished. (13-17)
Gideon avenges his brethren. (18-21)
Gideon
declines the government, but given occasion for idolatry. (22-28)
Gideon's death, Israel's ingratitude. (29-35)”
- Matthew
Henry Concise.
Today
we prayerfully read
in Judges 8
where
Gideon dies and God's people go back to their wicked ways.
“33
As soon as Gideon died, the people of Israel turned again and
whored after the Baals and made Baal-berith their god. 34 And the
people of Israel did not remember the Lord their God, who had
delivered them from the hand of all their enemies on every side,
35 and they did not show steadfast love to the family of Jerubbaal
(that is, Gideon) in return for all the good that he had done to
Israel.”
Judges
8:33-35
ESV. Hold
fast to your faith and trust Jesus.
We
are flesh and blood and our hearts are continually evil. “19
For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual
immorality, theft, false witness, slander.”
Matthew
15:19,
ESV. Like
Paul we should learn to give God glory and praise no matter what
our circumstances are.
“
11 Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in
whatever situation I am to be content. 12 I know how to be brought
low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I
have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and
need.“
Philippians
4:11-12,
ESV. Again
I may want to ask myself is what offers more the world or God? I
already know from whence my blessings flow. “1
When I thought, “My foot slips,” your steadfast love, O LORD,
held me up. When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations
cheer my soul.”
Psalm
94:18-19,
ESV. So let’s continue to keep the first thing first. It is
salvation through the blood of Jesus.
You
are an eternal being, where you spend eternity depends on your
relationship with God! If you haven't yet asked Jesus to be your
Saviour, Lord of your life click;
