Looking For An Excuse?

The Best of the Feast

Apr. 13, 2016 1 Chronicles 21
Looking For An Excuse?

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.

 

23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, Romans 3:23-24, English Standard Version (ESV)



Dear Saints,

Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1 Chronicles, Chapter 21; “David's numbering the people.” - Matthew Henry Concise.

 

Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 21.  In today’s Feast we see David influenced by Satan, take a census. God gives King David three choices for the payment price of this sin. David chooses God to extract the price of his sin.  “28 At that time, when David saw that the Lord had answered him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he sacrificed there. 29 For the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering were at that time in the high place at Gibeon, 30 but David could not go before it to inquire of God, for he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the Lord.1 Chronicles 21:28-30, ESV.  Even after God extracted the price of this sin, David was afraid to go past the angel.  Why do you think this is?   I believe it was because David didn’t know the mind of God.  “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughtsIsaiah 55:8-9, ESV.  This is the reason many people are afraid of Jesus.  They don’t understand who he is let alone why the price of sin requires payment.  I’ve heard many people saved and otherwise claim that; “Satan made me do it!”  The fact that Satan is there constantly insinuating that sin is beautiful, funny or cute does not excuse sin.  Nor does it excuse the price for sin.  Sin may look great at first but I can assure you it is spiritual cancer.  We have two choices either we die in sin or we accept God’s gift of salvation!  The price that Jesus paid is payment in full.  If you haven’t accepted Jesus I suggest you ask God (pray); then choose this link ( http://admenu.com/calling.html) to learn how to do it.  If you have accepted Jesus you need to be there to interpret a sinner’s cry for salvation.  Let your light shine and you will never be looking for an excuse.  In the process of letting your light shine you may be responsible for another saved soul. If the Lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.

  God Bless You,
Brother Mike
