Where Did We Get That Idea?

The Best of the Feast Aug. 3, 2016 – Esther 7 Where Did We Get That Idea? clic aquí en español 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. Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully Feast in Esther 7; Esther asks the king to spare her life and those of her family.  God gives Esther favor and in the king’s eye and Haman is condemned. Haman hanged on the gallows which he had built for Mordecai; “ 9 Then Harbona, one of the eunuchs in attendance on the king, said, “Moreover, the gallows[a] that Haman has prepared for Mordecai, whose word saved the king, is standing at Haman's house, fifty cubits[b] high.”10 And the king said, “Hang him on that.” So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the wrath of the king abated.” Esther 7:9-10, English Standard Version (ESV).  Here we read of a man’s treachery in his heart as it is turned on himself by our Lord God. If we who are granted God’s mercy listen to and learn from Jesus’ words and take them to heart will never be guilty of sinning like Haman. God’s mercy is summed up in a law of love and forgiveness. “35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him.36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”” Matthew 22:35-40, ESV.   God’s Word tells us everything we need to know to live a sin free life.  Turn to God in the name of Jesus whenever you have a need or a question.  If the Lord is willing I will write and post the Feast tomorrow. Jesus wants you?  Do you hear Him calling?  Do you want to love and be loved?

Aren’t I The Best?

We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully Feast in Esther 6; The Lord God gives King Ahasuerus insomnia so he reads about Mordecai’s prior service. The king is impressed and decides to reward Mordecai. Haman (being a legend in his own mind) believes the king wants to honor himself not Mordecai.  Haman plots against Mordecai as his friends tell him how to plan Mordecai’s death; “13 Yet all this is worth nothing to me, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.” 14 Then his wife Zereshand all his friends said to him, “Let a gallows fifty cubits high be made, and in the morning tell the king to have Mordecai hanged upon it. Then go joyfully with the king to the feast.” This idea pleased Haman, and he had the gallows made.”  Esther 6:13-14, English Standard Version (ESV).  I think the lesson we get hear would be two fold;  1.    Is not to count ourselves as more valuable than another person 2.    Talking and plotting against anyone behind their back never turns out good God left us specific instructions of how to approach those who are caught in transgressions. “1Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.” Galatians 6:1-3, ESV.   In the third verse we are told not to think we are legends in our own mind.  Tomorrow we will see what happens to Haman, for backbiting and boasting.  If the Lord is willing I will write and post the Feast tomorrow. .Jesus wants you?  Do you hear Him calling?  Do you want to love and be loved?

Is Your Heart Healthy?

We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.   Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site   Dear Saints,   Today we prayerfully Feast in Esther 5; Esther’s request, let the king and Haman is granted. Haman heart is filled with hatred and he plans to hang Mordecai; “13 Yet all this is worth nothing to me, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.” 14 Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, “Let a gallows fifty cubits high be made, and in the morning tell the king to have Mordecai hanged upon it. Then go joyfully with the king to the feast.” This idea pleased Haman, and he had the gallows made.”  Esther 5:13-14, English Standard Version (ESV).  Hatred makes our heart heavy and sick.  Usually when we have a hateful attitude the only one it hurts is us. If someone offends us and we even think in our heart; “That Jerk!” we have sinned.  By the same token if we see someone who may be in need and we think “What a looser!” we’ve sinned.  If we love God and allow Jesus to rule our mind and heart we won’t have room for sin.  “Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides through the deserts; his name is the Lord; exult before him! Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation.” Psalm 68:4-5, ESV.  When are praising God and sharing our faith in Jesus we have the right and light heart.  If the Lord is willing I will write and post the Feast tomorrow. .Jesus wants you?  Do you hear Him calling?  Do you want to love and be loved?

Are You Happy Saint?

We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.   Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site   Dear Saints,   Today we prayerfully Feast in Esther 4; The Jews wailed about the danger and Mordecai went to the gate in sackcloth to gain Esther’s ear.  Esther knows the consequences if she approaches the king for the Jews; “15 Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai, 16 “Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my young women will also fast as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law, and if I perish, I perish.” 17 Mordecai then went away and did everything as Esther had ordered him.”  Esther 4:15-17, English Standard Version (ESV).  Do you fear consequences of sharing the love of God with your neighbors or even your own family?  When we don’t witness to win people for Jesus what are the consequences for them?  If we don’t raise our children to fear God are we doing them a favor?  “13 As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.” Psalm 103:13, ESV.  If we go on without telling others the consequences of rejecting Jesus or we don’t raise our children in the Lord what then?  The truth is if we ignore the salvation of others we are guilty of their death.  Saints, it is your duty to share Jesus with your family and neighbors.  Only when you do what is good and right will you be happy.  If the Lord is willing I will write and post the Feast tomorrow. .Jesus wants you?  Do you hear Him calling?  Do you want to love and be loved?

Haman tricks the king into endorsing a decree against the Jews;  “13 Letters were sent by couriers to all the king’s provinces with instruction to destroy, to kill, and to annihilate all Jews, young and old, women and children, in one day, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, and to plunder their goods. 14 A copy of the document was to be issued as a decree in every province by proclamation to all the peoples to be ready for that day.”  Esther 3:13-14 English Standard Version (ESV).  I know my God is great and wonderful all things work in favor of his people. “The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice; he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him.” Proverbs 23:24, ESV.  We continue our journey in the Feast of God’s Word, knowing whatever we do in Jesus name will benefit our children.

And it was recorded in the book of the chronicles in the presence of the king.”  Esther 2:22-23, English Standard Version (ESV).  Just like Mordecai and Esther wherever on Earth we wind up whatever or station, God watches over us.  Remember we are in the world and not of the world.  “20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,” Philippians 3:20, ESV.  Wherever we are we can share our love of God, faith in Jesus and the peace of the Holy Spirit.  We are the citizens of heaven!

We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.   Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site   Dear Saints,   Today we prayerfully Feast in Esther 1; King Ahasuerus hosts a lavish feast for all his officials and servants. The kings wife Vashti refuses to to attend the feast. The king decrees that Vashti is never again to come before him and she is to be replaced; “21 This advice pleased the king and the princes, and the king did as Memucan proposed. 22 He sent letters to all the royal provinces, to every province in its own script and to every people in its own language, that every man be master in his own household and speak according to the language of his people.”  Esther 1:21-22, English Standard Version (ESV).  As Christians would we tear our marriage up when our spouse disagrees with us?  Certainly  not Jesus tells us that we and our spouse are one flesh.  God never wanted man and woman to divorce.  So what should we do and how should we act when we disagree with our spouse?“[Hearing and Doing the Word] Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;” James 1:19 ESV.  The enemy is the devil and God’s Word tells us how to handle our anguish; “Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.” Proverbs 19:11 ESV.  This is just one more reason we Feast together.  If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.   Jesus wants you?  Do you hear Him calling?  Do you want to love and be loved?
