Approach or Attack?

The Best of the Feast

Aug. 12, 2016 – Job 6

Approach or Attack?


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 in Job 6.  Job tries to justify himself in his complaints. He asks for death believing that death would be better than his present circumstances.  Job is disappointed; he feels his friends are unkind. “30 Is there any injustice on my tongue? Cannot my palate discern the cause of calamity?” Job 6:30, New King James Version (NKJV).  Our world is very tumultuous at this time in history.  If we are going to be successful in bringing others to Christ; we must be loving and merciful in our approach.  Don’t attack the sinners approach them with the same love Jesus approached you.  Remember how Paul approached the Men of Athens; “23 for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you:” Acts 17:23, NKJV.  He didn’t say that they or the gods they worshipped were useless.  He didn’t say that they were condemned to hell.  Paul simply found even ground as persons seeking God and moved forward from there.  He lovingly told them about Jesus; his love and mercies.  Paul was a wise witness he knew that if you attacked persons rather than approached them, they would shut you off.  “22 to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.23 Now this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I may be partaker of it with you.”  1 Corinthians 9:22-23, NKJV.  The choices is yours Saint; loving approach or hateful attack.  You never need to compromise the Word of God. If the Lord is willing I will write and post the Feast tomorrow.

He loves you, Jesus is calling!  Do you hear that small voice calling; sinner com home?  Do you want to choose good over evil? If the answer is yes, please click the following link; admenu.com/calling.html

Today’s Verse; “19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, NKJV.

What If God Says No!

The Best of the Feast


Aug. 11, 2016 – Job 5

What If God Says No!


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 in Job 5.  Eliphaz feels that Job must be sinning. Eliphaz thinks God is responsible for Job’s poor condition. Eliphaz cautions Job to accept his plight as God’s correction so his problems will end. “26 You shall come to the grave at a full age, As a sheaf of grain ripens in its season. 27 Behold, this we have searched out; It is true. Hear it, and know for yourself.”” Job 5:26-27, New King James Version  (NKJV).  Sometimes we have to accept the fact that God is saying no to our requests.  Maybe God is holding out for something better for us. Never forget God knows our mind and we can’t begin to fathom God’s mind.  “And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”  2 Corinthians 12:9, NKJV.  We must realize that God has our best interest in mind.  God could be allowing us to endure our fate because the Lord’s grace is sufficient.  Like Paul we can learn to be content with in our circumstances.  This doesn’t mean that we have to stop asking Jesus to improve our condition.  Just remember, God isn’t a genie waiting for us to rub the lamp.  Sometimes we must realize that in our own interest God will say no!  If the Lord is willing I will write and post the Feast tomorrow.

He loves you, Jesus is calling!  Do you hear that small voice calling; sinner com home?  Do you want to choose good over evil? If the answer is yes, please click the following link; admenu.com/calling.html

God Knows Our Heart!

Aug. 10, 2016 – Job 4

  God Knows Our Heart!


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 in Job 4; Eliphaz seeing Job’s condition judges him guilty of angering God.  Eliphaz assumes that God’s is punishing Job. Eliphaz has a vision that further convinces him of Job’s sin.  “20 Between morning and evening they are beaten to pieces;
    they perish forever without anyone regarding it.
21 Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them,
    do they not die, and that without wisdom?’” Job 4:20-21, English Standard Version (ESV).  If we didn’t have the Word of God would we be telling Job to repent?  When we see people in trouble, sick or dirty do we assume that they don’t know Jesus?  “24 Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord.”  Jeremiah 23:24, ESV.    Rather than passing judgment when we see a person in trouble we should realize that only God knows their heart.   We would be wise to offer help or prayer, telling them that Jesus loves them and has their back.  Remember God knows the heart of all men including ours.  If the Lord is willing I will write and post the Feast tomorrow.

He loves you, Jesus is calling!  Do you hear that small voice calling; sinner com home?  Do you want to choose good over evil? If the answer is yes please click the following link; admenu.com/calling.html

Without Jesus There’s No Hope!

The Best of the Feast

Aug. 9, 2016 – Job 3

  Without Jesus There’s No Hope!


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 begin our Feast in Job 3; Job complains that he was born. He talks like a man who had never known God.  “25 For the thing that I fear comes upon me,
    and what I dread befalls me.
26 I am not at ease, nor am I quiet;
    I have no rest, but trouble comes.”
 Job 3:25-26, English Standard Version (ESV).  Many years ago I had a loved one who got hooked on drugs. The drug was so addicting that this person did crimes against their own family, and abandoned loved ones for the drug.  As I sought the Lord in prayer and went from one organization to another looking for help all of them had one thing in common.  They all said; unless a person want’s help there is nothing that could be done.  My wife and I continued to pray and seek God in the name of Jesus.  A place called The Walter Hoving Home (a Christian non-government establishment) said that if she would just ask for their help they would take her in. They didn’t say anything about if she really wanted help or if she wanted to know Jesus, all she had to do was choose them over jail. Looking at a long sentence that was a no brainer for her, she asked to be transferred from Jail to the home.  A long sentence was imposed by the Judge, however if she would go immediately into the eighteen-month program at the home. Stay for all eighteen months and finish their program she would finish her sentence on parole.  She happily chose the program.  She hated it; however, the punishment she faced for leaving was so bad she chose to stay.  Each day she started out with mandatory bible study, prayer, self-examination and whatever job she had to do as part of the housekeeping for the Home.  She was brought up in a Christian home and accepted Jesus as a young lady long before she started drugs.  Even though she wasn’t faithful Jesus was; “But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.”  2 Thessalonians 3:3, ESV.   After six months in the program she renewed her relationship with Jesus and finished the eighteen-month program without problems.  That was about eighteen years ago. She went back to college got a bachelor’s degree.  She married and is still trusting Jesus today. She strayed from Jesus he never abandoned her.  Without Jesus there is no hope! If the Lord is willing I will write and post the Feast tomorrow.

Softly and sweetly, Jesus is calling!  Do you hear that small voice calling; sinner com home?  Do you want to choose good over evil? If the answer is yes, please click the following link; admenu.com/calling.html

Today’s Verse; “Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows. Luke 12:6-7, ESV.

How To Choose!

  How To Choose!

 


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 in Job 2;  Job’s wife told him he should curse God and die! We see Job’s friends coming to comfort him. “11 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that had come upon him, they came each from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. They made an appointment together to come to show him sympathy and comfort him.12 And when they saw him from a distance, they did not recognize him. And they raised their voices and wept, and they tore their robes and sprinkled dust on their heads toward heaven.” Job 2:11-12 ESV.  Friends and family are so very important.  God’s Word tells us how to choose our friends and spouse.
·        How to choose friends; “14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?2 Corinthians 6:14-15, ESV.
·        How to choose a spouse; “14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?2 Corinthians 6:14-15, ESV.
 The choice would always be the same! If the Lord is willing I will write and post the Feast tomorrow.

Softly and sweetly, Jesus is calling!  Do you hear that small voice calling; sinner com home?  Do you want to choose good over evil? If the answer is yes, please click the following link; admenu.com/calling.html

In Any And Every Circumstance!

The Best of the Feast


Aug. 7, 2016 – Job 1

  In Any And Every Circumstance!

 


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 Feast in Job !; We see Job starting out with God blessing him in every way; “1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job, and that man was blameless and upright, one who feared God and turned away from evil. There were born to him seven sons and three daughters. He possessed 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, and 500 female donkeys, and very many servants, so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the east.”  Job 1:1-3, English Standard Version (ESV).  As we read on we will see a basic truth here about those who love and obey God; “28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”  Romans 8:28, ESV.   We need to be like Job and Paul; who didn’t let their worldly circumstance dictate their relationship with God; “11 Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. 12 I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need.” Philippians 4:10-11, ESV. When we learn to be content wherever we are in every circumstance; we will also learn to truly be happy for others.   If the Lord is willing I will write and post the Feast tomorrow.

Softly and sweetly, Jesus is calling!  Do you hear that small voice calling; sinner com home?  Do you want to choose good over evil? If the answer is yes, please click the following link; admenu.com/calling.html

Why Do They Have All The Fun?

Aug. 6, 2016 – Esther 10

Why Do They Have All The Fun?

 


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 Feast in Esther 10; God blessed King Ahasuerus and in doing so he blessed Mordecai, Esther and His people.  “1King Ahasuerus imposed tax on the land and on the coastlands the sea. And all the acts of his power and might, and the full account of the high honor of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia? For Mordecai the Jew was second in rank to King Ahasuerus, and he was great among the Jews and popular with the multitude of his brothers, for he sought the welfare of his people and spoke peace to all his people.”  Esther 10:1-3, English Standard Version (ESV).  Sometimes it seems like the unbelievers are having the best of times. They have the boats, the sand buggies and they spend every weekend camping, playing, in Las Vegas or other “fun” places.   God knows their hearts.  This doesn’t mean you can’t go places on the weekend, wherever you go take the time to worship God and share Jesus. By all means do not envy them; remember that God always has the believer’s best welfare in mind.  “28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. 29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.”  Romans 8:28-29, ESV.  Instead of envying those that are wasting their life away we need to pray for them. Where ever we go we should lovingly go with God; carrying the Word to all the corners of the Earth. Remember this Saint; God is not willing that any should perish.   If the Lord is willing I will write and post the Feast tomorrow.
Listen, Jesus is calling!  Do you hear that small voice calling; sinner com home?  Do you want to choose good over evil? If the answer is yes please click the following link; admenu.com/calling.html
