Approach Our Lord With?

Today’s Feast


Jan. 02, 2016 – II Samuel 19

Approach Our Lord With?


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.

So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12, English Standard Version (ESV).


Dear Saints,

Thank you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue the Feast in 2nd Samuel 2 Samuel 19; “Joab causes David to cease mourning. (1-8) David returns to Jordan. (9-15) He pardons Shimei. (16-23)Mephibosheth excused. (24-30) David's parting with Barzillai. (31-39) Israel quarrels with Judah. (40-43)” - Matthew Henry Concise.

David is at the gate in mourning when Joab causes David to cease mourning. David returns to Jordan not to take Israel by force, but by invitation of God’s people. Like a model for Jesus he forgives his enemy, Shimei and he excuses Mephibosheth. David’s parting with Barzillai is accompanied with a generous offer. Barzillai graciously turns the king’s offer down because of his age. Israel quarrels with Judah. “41 Then all the men of Israel came to the king and said to the king, “Why have our brothers the men of Judah stolen you away and brought the king and his household over the Jordan, and all David’s men with him?” 42 All the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, “Because the king is our close relative. Why then are you angry over this matter? Have we eaten at all at the king’s expense? Or has he given us any gift?” 43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, “We have ten shares in the king, and in David also we have more than you. Why then did you despise us? Were we not the first to speak of bringing back our king?” But the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.2 Samuel 19:41-43, ESV. It is far better to forgive those who have offended you than to provoke them to anger. Didn’t Jesus teach us when he said;”…and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. …For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you”. Follow David’s example and Jesus Word by forgiving your enemies and those who are indebted to you. Continue keeping the first thing first, that is salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. “[Let Us Sing Songs of Praise] Oh come, let us sing to the LORD; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!Psalm 95:1-2, ESV. Approach our Lord with praise and thanksgiving. Keep the first thing first, that is salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. If the Lord is willing I’ll send and post the Feast again tomorrow.

Don’t get caught up in “religion”, it is about a relationship. Our salvation depends completely on God! We are the Saints that Jesus sacrificed his life to pay in full for our sin, when we repent and accept Jesus. He will come to get every Saint; “36 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.Matthew 24:36, ESV. We are building our relationship with Jesus right now, do not wait while you try to change anything.  Click this link for more information;  admenu.com/calling.htm .
