It’s Race Day!

The Best of the Feast

Apr. 14, 2016 1 Chronicles 22
It’s Race Day!

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.

 

24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. 1 Corinthians 9:24, English Standard Version (ESV)



Dear Saints,

Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1 Chronicles, Chapter 22; “David's preparations for the temple. (1-5) David's instructions to Solomon. (6-16) The prices commanded to assist. (17-19)” - Matthew Henry Concise.

 

Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 22.  In today’s Feast, David is told that his son Solomon will build God’s home.  King David gives his son instructions for building the Temple of God.  “18 “Is not the Lord your God with you? And has he not given you peace on every side? For he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand, and the land is subdued before the Lord and his people. 19 Now set your mind and heart to seek the Lord your God. Arise and build the sanctuary of the Lord God, so that the ark of the covenant of the Lord and the holy vessels of God may be brought into a house built for the name of the Lord.”1 Chronicles 22:18-19, ESV.  God is building a new church and each of us is the craftsmen of God’s new Church. Jesus laid the foundation of God’s new temple on the cross.  We are instructed to continue the building of the temple where the Holy Spirit dwells.  “ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”Joshua 1:9, ESV.  As believers we are responsible for gathering material and building this church.  Jesus gave us the great commission in Matthew 28:18-20.  Don’t be put off rather be courageous for the Lord our God is with us.  Keep praying and reading God’s Word every day because this is how faith is built (see Romans 10:16-18). “1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.Hebrews 12:1-2 ESV.  Remember today is the “Day of Salvation”, its race day! If the Lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.

  God Bless You,
Brother Mike
