The Best of the Feast
Examine
Your Heart!
Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.
“12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be
constant in prayer.” Romans
12:12, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully read our Feast in Romans, Chapter 12; “Believers are to dedicate themselves to God. (1,2) To be humble, and faithfully to use their spiritual gifts, in their respective stations. (3-8) Exhortations to various duties. (9-16) And to peaceable conduct towards all men, with forbearance and benevolence. (17-21)” - Matthew Henry Commentary Concise.
Today
we prayerfully (or should I say prayerfully and carefully), continue our
Feast in Romans 12.
Because as saints called by Jesus and justified by faith we are to dedicate
ourselves to God. We do not run around and point out to others how humbly,
and faithfully we use our spiritual gifts, in our service to Jesus. There
is no need to point out our duties to others as Saints; our very actions will
highlight our calling. We are called to peaceable service to all
men, with patience and compassion by our Lord Jesus. “19 Beloved, never
avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance
is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 To the
contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him
something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do
not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” Romans
12:19-21, ESV. With this entire thought in mind we must ask
ourselves what is our motivation for sharing Jesus’ love? Do I
share with my enemies to clobber them or because I really want them to become
Saints, sealed with the peace that passes understanding by the Holy
Spirit. Are we sharing because the love of God fills our hearts? We
can be sure God knows our hearts. “22 But the
fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against
such things there is no law.” Galatians
5:22-23, ESV. Look at your life in relationship to
Jesus. Because the Holy Spirit motivates us; we should see these
things in our very lives; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, self-control! Never forget God knows our
hearts and motivations. If the Lord is willing I will send and post the
Feast again tomorrow.
God
Bless You,
Brother
