The
Best of the Feast

Please join with 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.
“10 For if while we were enemies we were
reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are
reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.” Romans 5:10, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1 Chronicles, Chapter 16; “The solemnity with which the ark was fixed. (1-6) David's psalm of praise. (7-36) Setting in order the worship of God. (37-43)” - Matthew
Henry Concise.
Today
we prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 16. King
David was generous to his subjects, because he recognized God’s grace to
him. He brought order and reverence to the thanksgiving and
praising of God. “35 Say also: “Save
us, O God of our salvation, and gather and deliver us from among the
nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your
praise. 36 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to
everlasting!” Then all the people said, “Amen!” and praised the Lord.” 1
Chronicles 16:35-36, ESV. I hear this saying often; “ What
goes around comes around! ” It seems that King David really had a
handle on that. He was a man after God’s heart. “9 In this the
love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son
into the world, so that we might live through him.” 1
John 4:9, ESV When we deal with others who are not yet saved
keep in mind the grace of God by which we were saved. Keep
the first thing first; that is salvation through the blood of the Lamb. Our
righteousness is in Jesus and not of ourselves. If the Lord is willing I
will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.
God Bless You,
Brother

Get Back In The Race!

Get Back In The Race!

minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately
three years.
“20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no
longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live
in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave
himself for me.” Galatians 2:20, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1 Chronicles, Chapter 15; “Preparations for the removal of the ark. (1-24) The removal of the ark. (25-29)” - Matthew
Henry Concise.
Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 15. King
David realizes that he made mistakes when he moved the Ark the first time. He
owned up to his sin repented of and followed God’s rule the second time. What
a glorious day it was. God’s people where celebrating and praising
God as they brought the Ark of the Covenant into Jerusalem. You would
think everyone would be celebrating and happy to see the ark enter the city. That
was not the case; “29 And as the ark of the covenant of the Lord came to the city of David,
Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David
dancing and celebrating, and she despised him in her heart.” 1
Chronicles 15:29, ESV. When people see you being blessed and
you are giving God the glory, if they don’t know Jesus they may despise and
think you are a fool. “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.” Matthew
22:37-39, ESV. Don’t let what others say or do discourage you,
continue to love the Lord with all your strength. Pray for those
who defame or abuse you. Continue to keep the first thing first;
that is salvation through the blood of the Lamb. We are blessed when people
abuse us for our faith in Jesus. “22 and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who
endures to the end will be saved.“ Matthew
10:22, ESV. Pick yourself up and get back in the race.
If the Lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.
God Bless You,

Does He Have A Plan For Me?
The
Best of the Feast
Does He Have A Plan For Me?
Please join with 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.
“16 By this we know love, that he laid down his life
for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.” 1 John 3:16, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1 Chronicles, Chapter 14; “David's victories.
- In this chapter we have an account of, 1. David's kingdom
established. 2. His family built up. 3. His enemies defeated. ( 2
Samuel 5 ) upon as a type and figure of the exalted honour of the
Son of David.” - Matthew Henry Concise.
Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 14. We
see King David never carries out a plan without consulting God. Notice
the second time the Philistine attacked God said you shall not go up after
them; “13 And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley. 14 And when David again inquired of God, God said to him, “You shall not
go up after them; go around and come against them opposite the balsam trees. 15
And when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then
go out to battle, for God has gone out before you to strike down the army of
the Philistines.””1
Chronicles 14:13-15, ESV. God did not stop King David from
amassing his army for the attack. God simply told them to take another
path and God took down the Philistines for them. “11 For I know the plans
I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for
evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you
will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.13 You
will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.” Jeremiah
29:11-13, ESV. Saints before we take any action we must consult
God. Keep the first thing first; that is salvation through the
blood of the Lamb. The scripture tells us that Jesus had plans for each of
us, before we even asked Him into our hearts. If the Lord is willing I
will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.
God Bless You,

Does The End Justify The Means?

“9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according
to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ 10 as
a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things
in heaven and things on earth.” Ephesians 1:9-10, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1 Chronicles, Chapter 13; “David consults about
the ark. (1-5) The removal of the ark. (6-14)” - Matthew Henry Concise.
Today we prayerfully read the Feast in 1 Chronicles 13. King
David and all of Israel were of a single mind. They were bringing
home the ark of the covenant. They were celebrating before
God with all their might, with song and musical instruments; “9 And when they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah put out
his hand to take hold of the ark, for the oxen stumbled. 10 And the anger of
the Lord was kindled against Uzzah, and he struck him down because he put out
his hand to the ark, and he died there before God.” 1
Chronicles 13:9-10, ESV. Uzzah was celebrating like everyone else. He was
doing the same as those around him, when he died. David was upset
with God for taking Uzzah. Now God had warned the Israelites that
they would die if they touched the ark. Even though Uzzah was
helping to bring home the ark when he touched it should God have let home
live? No! If God didn’t take Uzzah God would be a liar. Should
David have been mad at or afraid of God? I don’t think so you see
not only can’t God lie; God sees life beyond death differently than us. “22 Do they not go
astray who devise evil? Those who devise good meet steadfast love and
faithfulness.” Proverbs
14:22, ESV. Saints I must say God isn’t a liar; he is God
which means he is good through and through. We must know God never
changes! If we do well and keep the first thing first; that
is salvation through the blood of the Lamb. If we love Jesus and fear God sharing his
love with others; that is the means that justifies the end! If the Lord
is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.
God Bless You,

“7 In him we have redemption through his
blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches
of his grace,” Ephesians 1:7, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1 Chronicles, Chapter 12; “Those who came to David
at Ziklag. (1-22) Those who came to Hebron. (23-40)” - Matthew Henry Concise.
Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 12. All
these people came to Hebron to make David king; “38 All these, men of
war, arrayed in battle order, came to Hebron with a whole heart to make David
king over all Israel. Likewise, all the rest of Israel were of a single mind
to make David king. 39 And they were there with David for three
days, eating and drinking, for their brothers had made preparation for them. 40
And also their relatives, from as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali,
came bringing food on donkeys and on camels and on mules and on oxen,
abundant provisions of flour, cakes of figs, clusters of raisins, and wine
and oil, oxen and sheep, for there was joy in Israel.”1
Chronicles 12:38-40, ESV. All these people came together
with one purpose and that is why for there was joy in Israel. “18 There is no fear in
love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with
punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.“ 1
John 4:18, ESV. Saints if we could all come together in love
and purpose there will be joy among God’s people. We will keep the
first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of the
Lamb. If we can leave our own agenda out of our prayers and pray
together in one mind asking for God’s will to be done. If we can stop
gossiping and making fun of our leaders, whether in family, at work, in church
or government. If we can pray together asking that God’s will be
done on earth as in heaven. Then there will be Joy amongst God’s
people! If the Lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again
tomorrow.

To God Be The Glory!

To God Be The Glory!

“14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among
those with whom he is pleased!”” Luke 2:14, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1 Chronicles, Chapter 11; “David raised to the
throne. (1-9) A list of David's mighty men. (10-47)” - Matthew Henry Concise.
Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 11. We
are reading about King David his mighty skill as a warrior. The sharp and
resourceful men who served in his army. King David didn’t take credit for his
success or give the credit to the men who served when all odds were against
them. David praised God for delivering Him and his people. We see
David reward the brave men as such as they were; “24 These things did
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada and won a name beside the three mighty men. 25
He was renowned among the thirty, but he did not attain to the three. And
David set him over his bodyguard.”1
Chronicles 11:24-25, ESV. Remember when young David went up
against Goliath? He was sure that the giant would be delivered into his
hands, because God had previously delivered him against the odds. Because
of his faith god did deliver his enemies into his arms. David was
always faithful to give the credit to God. “For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not
murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment,
are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love
does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.” Romans
13:9-10, ESV. If we keep our eyes and mind on God we will
fulfill God’s commandments. We can keep the first thing first. That
is salvation through the blood of the Lamb. Because Jesus is our
savior we can always give God the glory. We can love those around
us by sharing Jesus and his gift of salvation. If the Lord is willing I
will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.
God Bless You,

Whom Do We Consult?
The
Best of the Feast
Whom Do We Consult?
Please join with 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.
“8 And David said to God, “I have sinned greatly in
that I have done this thing. But now, please take away the iniquity of your
servant, for I have acted very foolishly.”” 1 Chronicles 21:8, English Standard Version
(ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1
Chronicles, Chapter 10; “The death of Saul.
-
The design chiefly in view in these books of the Chronicles, appears to be to
preserve the records of the house of David. Therefore the writer repeats not
the history of Saul's reign, but only of his death, by which a way was made
for David to the throne. And from the ruin of Saul, we may learn, 1. That the
sin of sinners will certainly find them out, sooner or later; Saul died for
his transgression. 2. That no man's greatness can exempt him from the
judgments of God. 3. Disobedience is a killing thing. Saul died for not
keeping the word of the Lord. May be delivered from unbelief, impatience, and
despair. By waiting on the Lord we shall obtain a kingdom that cannot be
moved.” - Matthew Henry Concise.
Today we
prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 10. King
Saul was blessed by our God. We see here that he departed from
God. He was seeking conformation from other sources. “13 So Saul died for
his breach of faith. He broke faith with the Lord in that he did not keep the
command of the Lord, and also consulted a medium, seeking guidance. 14
He did not seek guidance from the Lord. Therefore the Lord put him to death
and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.”1
Chronicles 10:13-14, ESV. The Saints that love God with all
their heart wouldn’t even consult a comic book astrologist. If we
need anything including information about where our life is going we seek God
in prayer. “9 Whoever covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates
close friends.” Proverbs
17:9, ESV. If we turn to God to keep us, we don’t need gossip.
Let’s keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the
blood of the Lamb. Trust God for direction, and follow His
precepts for correction. In God we trust and seek direction. If the
Lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.
God Bless You,
Brother
