Today's Feast
In
An Eternal Relationship?
Please
join with us sharing God’s Word daily. W e will spend about
fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s
Word in approximately three years.
“4
Rejoice
in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.”
Philippians
4:4,
English
Standard Version (ESV).
Dear Saints,
Thank
you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue
the Feast reading Joshua, Chapter
8;
“God
encourages Joshua. (1,2)
The taking of Ai. (3-22)
The destruction of Ai and its king. (23-29)
The law read on Ebal and Gerizim. (30-35)”
-
Matthew
Henry Concise.
The
reasons that we continue in the Feast are because this is what God
would have us do. For the saints it’s as important as continuing
to eat a healthy diet as long as we live. We know that man does
not live by bread alone, he lives by reading every word (Matthew
4:4)
that
God has given to him. We also know that the more we retain from
this steady diet (Romans
10:17),
the stronger our faith grows.
Yesterday
we saw the folly in taking what belongs to God. Today we see the
power of in an eternal relationship repentance with our awesome
God. God not only forgives us but he ads to our life. “8
And the Lord said to Joshua, “Do not fear and do not be
dismayed. Take all the fighting men with you, and arise, go up to
Ai. See, I have given into in
an eternal relationship
your hand the king of Ai, and his people, his city, and his land.
2 And you shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and
its king. Only its spoil and its livestock you shall take as
plunder for yourselves. Lay an ambush against the city, behind
it.””
Joshua
8:1-2,
ESV. We’ve noticed this pattern of forgiveness all through in
an eternal relationship God’s Word. Remember how Jesus acted in
return to Peter’s denial of him at the crucifixion. I can’t
imagine how bad Peter was feeling after having denied Jesus three
times. This was after Pete told Jesus that he wouldn’t turn his
back on Him. The Word shows us that Jesus understood how bad Peter
felt about the denial. Jesus made sure that Peter knew that he was
still loved and forgiven. He had the messenger at the tomb to
specifically convey his message to Peter. “6
And he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of
Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the
place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter
that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him,
just as he told you.””
Mark
16:6-7,
ESV. Those two words “and Peter” told Peter that Jesus had
already forgiven him. We see the love nature of God when he tells
us to love our neighbors. Not only that if you read God’s Word
prayerfully you will begin to see just how forgiving his nature
is. Look at how many times God said we should forgive a brother.
“hen
Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother
sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” 22
Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but
seventy-seven times.“
Matthew
18:21-22,
ESV. Saint, this tells us that if we are truly repentant then
God’s willingness to forgive us is infinite. “12
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave
the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of
blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of
God.”
John
1:12-13,
ESV.
God’s
will allows us to share in an eternal relationship with Him. Lets
keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of
Jesus.
I
send the Feast out as the Holy Spirit inspires me. If the Lord Is
willing I’ll send and post the Feast again tomorrow.
Is Jesus knocking at your door? Are you ready to answer God’s call? If the answer is yes; today is the day of your salvation! Don’t wait another minute to leave, change or quit anything (see Revelation 3:20) Jesus is at knocking at your door this minute. He wants you to come just as you are, surrendering all! Will you answer Him today? 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; admenu.com/calling.html

Bless You,

Giving God The Glory?
Today's Feast
Giving
God The Glory?
Please
join with us sharing God’s Word daily. W e will spend about
fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s
Word in approximately three years.
“1
I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From
where does my help come?
2
My help comes from the Lord,
Dear Saints,
Thank
you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue
the Feast reading Joshua, Chapter
7;
“The
Israelites smitten at Ai. (1-5)
Joshua's humiliation and prayer. (6-9)
God instructs Joshua what to do. (10-15)
Achan is detected, He is destroyed. (16-26)”
-
Matthew
Henry Concise.
Be
careful to continue to give God all the
glory.
Don’t take God’s glory or property for your own gain as you
serve Him. We see that God gave His people victory over Jericho.
However as we read today we see Achan took spoils from that which
belonged to God. God is displeased with Achan to the extent that
some of Achan’s
fellow soldiers died in the next campaign. Now
Joshua
doesn’t understand why God would turn His back on the Israelite
army. “10
The Lord said to Joshua, “Get up! Why have you fallen on your
face? 11 Israel has sinned; they have transgressed my covenant
that I commanded them; they have taken some of the devoted things;
they have stolen and lied and put them among their own belongings.
12 Therefore the people of Israel cannot stand before their
enemies. They turn their backs before their enemies, because they
have become devoted for destruction. I will be with you no more,
unless you destroy the devoted things from among you.”
Joshua
7:10-12,
ESV. As we serve our Lord give Him the Glory for he alone is
worthy. As we serve God in love and faith allow him to reward each
of us. “[
Choose Whom You Will Serve ] “14
“Now therefore fear the Lord and serve him in sincerity and in
faithfulness. Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond
the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.”
Joshua
24:14,
ESV. We are reading God’s word our faith is producing works. He
is worthy of our praise and our love. Serve him faithfully and
allow Him to reward you. “24
Only fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart.
For consider what great things he has done for you.“
1
Samuel 12:24,
ESV. Saint, ask yourself if you’re willing to enter into a
personal relationship with God? Are
you
able
to serve
God on his terms? Share His gifts giving Him all that is due to
Him. ““You
are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they
may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in
heaven.”
Matthew
5:14-16,
ESV.
Our
personal relationship with Jesus allows us to freely share that
which He has given us. Give up what you cannot keep for the gift
you cannot loose. Be sure to keep the first thing first. That is
salvation through the blood of Jesus.
I
send the Feast out as the Holy Spirit inspires me. If the Lord Is
willing I’ll send and post the Feast again tomorrow.
