Because You Have Obeyed

The Best of the Feast July 25, 2017 – Jeremiah 35 Because You Have Obeyed clic aquí en español Please join 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.  Gods Not Dead! “6 This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.” 2 John 1:6  New King James Version (NKJV) Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast reading the book of Jeremiah Chapter 35 Verses 1-11 “Jonadab was famous for wisdom and piety. He lived nearly ( 2 Kings. 10:15 ) to drink wine. He also appointed them to dwell in tents, or movable dwelling: this would teach them not to think of settling any where in this world. To keep low, would be the way to continue long in the land where they were strangers. Humility and contentment are always the best policy, and men’s surest protection. Also, that they might not run into unlawful pleasures, they were to deny themselves even lawful delights. The consideration that we are strangers and pilgrims should oblige us to abstain from all fleshly lusts…” Verses 12-19 “The trial of the Rechabites’ constancy was for a sign; it made the disobedience of the Jews to God the more marked. The Rechabites were obedient to one who was but a man like themselves, and Jonadab never did for his seed what God has done for his people. Mercy is promised to the Rechabites. We are not told respecting the performance of this promise; but doubtless it was performed, and travellers say the Rechabites may be found a separate people to this day. Let us follow the counsels of our pious forefathers, and we shall find good in so doing.” –  Matthew Henry Concise Commentary  “18 Then Jeremiah said to the family of the Recabites, “This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘18 And Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Because you have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts and done according to all that he commanded you, 19 therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not lack a man to stand before Me forever.”’”” Jeremiah 35:18-19 NKJV.  I am reminded here that; the first commandment that comes with a promise (see Ephesians 6:2) is to obey our parents. What our Lord Jesus asks of us is asked in love, (see 1 John 5:3) is to be delivered in love.  “13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. “  Colossians 3:13 NKJV.  Every good gift comes from (see James 1:17) God our Father in loving mercy. We are asked to humbly deliver the good news (see Ephesians 4:2) to our neighbors in love. If the Lord is willing I will write and post the Feast tomorrow.  Is Jesus calling?  Do you want to be free from sorrow?  Do you want to find true happiness, peace, and purpose in your life?  If the answer is yes to any of these questions please click the following link; http://admenu.com/calling.html  . Today’s Verse; I made haste, and did not delay To keep Your commandments.” Matthew 19:14  NKJV.
