The Best of
the Feast
The People That Were Not?
“For it is time for judgment to begin
at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome
for those who do not obey the gospel of God?” 1 Peter 4:17 New King James Version (NKJV).
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.
Dear Saints,
Today
we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading Isaiah Chapter 23. Tyre was the
hotspot of the era she was full of self-gratification, (see Ezekiel 28:7) Godliness was just another object of
her humor. God will show mercy in Tyre. When God gives
her freedom, she returns to the temptation, the love of money, covetousness,
and spiritual idolatry. “7 "Blessed is the man who trusts in
the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. 8 For he shall be like a tree planted
by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear
when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the
year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.” Isaiah 23:17-18 NKJV. Take
notice though the nation was doing badly in a spiritual sense, God (see Isaiah 23:18) used her
prosperity to bless those who were willing to live for His kingdom. “7
"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord.
8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its
roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be
green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from
yielding fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8 NKJV. Sometimes
I’m surprised when a see a Christian who falls away in sin. Then I
think about what Jesus said to those who appeared to be doing God’s work on
the outside but remained secretly opposed to Jesus (See Matthew 7:23) in secrete. Do I regret
giving money to a person who I found out later was abusing God’s gifts? Not
at all, I give what I feel God is nudging me to give. In doing so
I have obeyed the Holy Spirit and thus been true to my Lord Jesus. Every
gift whether given or abused is done so to the Glory of God. “16
Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are
that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of
obedience leading to righteousness? “ Romans
6:16 NKJV. I am
convinced that those that pretended to serve God for their own purposes (See Matthew
7:22-23) is;
“The People That Were Not” able to follow Jesus. If the Lord is willing I
will write and post the Feast tomorrow.
Can
you feel Jesus calling you? Do you
still hear (see Romans 1:24-25)
Him calling? Do you want to find true
happiness, peace, and purpose in your life?

Today’s Verse; ”6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by
prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known
to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard
your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6 NKJV.
God Bless You,
Brother Mike
