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
