The Best of the Feast
Who’s Providing the Means?
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.
“1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are
in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of
life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and
death.” Romans
8:1-2, English Standard
Version (ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully, continue to Feast in 2 Chronicles
2. Solomon is making preparations to Build the Temple. Why does
Solomon make a treaty with Huram? Because he knew they could supply the
timber for the project. That is where King David got the Cedars. That
is where the craftsmen were. We never go to the grocery store to buy lumber,
that wouldn’t make sense. Likewise we wouldn’t pick a baker to set a
diamond. Solomon knew Hiram respected the God of Israel and he would
supply his best for Him. “12 Hiram also said, “Blessed be the Lord God of
Israel, who made heaven and earth, who has given King David a wise son,
who has discretion and understanding, who will build a temple for the Lordand
a royal palace for himself. ” 2
Chronicles 2:12, ESV. Solomon was a wise king and administrator. He
shows how he budgets his manpower in this verse. “17 Then Solomon
counted all the resident aliens who were in the land of Israel, after
the census of them that David his father had taken, and there were found
153,600. 18 Seventy thousand of them he assigned to bear
burdens, 80,000 to quarry in the hill country, and 3,600 as overseers to make
the people work. ” 2
Chronicles 2:17-18, ESV. I had to do the math here. I
figure that he assigned management at a ratio of 1.5% of the workforce. That
may be a great formula for figuring management for any task. Did you know
that you are building or maintaining a temple for God? “19 Or do
you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom
you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you
were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” 1
Corinthians 6:19-20, ESV. Our Lord wants us to be a good steward of
our Temple for the Holy Spirit. Don’t worry about the cost of
maintaining your temple. Just as he did with King Solomon God will
supply the means. Use the tools God has supplied, Pastor’s, the
bible, the body of believers which is the Church. Trust God when
you need something, God will provide it. “26 But the Helper,
the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will
teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said
to you.“ John
14:26, ESV. Whenever God gives us an assignment or task He will
supply the means. So be a good steward let your light shine; Jesus
provides the fuel. If the Lord is willing I will send and post the
Feast again tomorrow.
God
Bless You,
Brother
