Let God Be Our Guide!

The Best of the Feast

  `W
Apr. 21, 2016 1 Chronicles 29
Let God Be Our Guide! 

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.


28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”John 10:28-30, English Standard Version (ESV)



Dear Saints,

Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1 Chronicles, Chapter 29; “David induces the princes and people to offer willingly. (1-9) His thanksgiving and prayer. (10-19)Solomon enthroned. (20-25) David's reign and death. (26-30)” -  Matthew Henry Concise.

Today as we prayerfully continue our Feast in I Chronicles 29.  As we finish today’s study we see a King’s Kingdom handed off from David to his son. We see people being urged to give unselfishly. Sometimes we have trouble not being happy and graceful when we see a friend receive property or pardon. If you’re content with what God has prepared for you, then it is easier being truly happy for others. “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.” – Philippians 2:3, ESV. Pray for those in need with us and if you can do more; our Lord knows how to guide you. If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.


 God Bless You,
Brother Mike

Honoring God!

The Best of the Feast

 
Apr. 20, 2016 1 Chronicles 28
Honoring God! 

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.


do not lift up your horn on high, or speak with haughty neck.’” For not from the east or from the west and not from the wilderness comes lifting up,but it is God who executes judgment,  putting down one and lifting up another.Psalm 75:5-7, English Standard Version (ESV)



Dear Saints,

Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1 Chronicles, Chapter 28; “David exhorts the people to the fear of the Lord. (1-10) He gives instructions for the temple. (11-21) ” -  Matthew Henry Concise.

Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 28.   We are reminded that God will never leave or forsake us. God has a plan for every person’s life; “20 Then David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous and do it. Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed, for the Lord God, even my God, is with you. He will not leave you or forsake you, until all the work for the service of the house of the Lord is finished.21 And behold the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of the house of God; and with you in all the work will beevery willing man who has skill for any kind of service; also the officers and all the people will be wholly at your command.”1 Chronicles 27:1, ESV.  We are reminded again that God will never leave or forsake us; “Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5, ESV.  God has given each and every one of us different gifts.   “12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit. “  1 Corinthians 12:12-13, ESV.  So it is up to us to use our gifts given by the Holy Spirit to honor God. If the Lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.

Prepared For War & Peace!

The Best of the Feast

 
Apr. 19, 2016 1 Chronicles 27
Prepared For War & Peace! 

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 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: 1 Peter 4:10, English Standard Version (ESV)



Dear Saints,

Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1 Chronicles, Chapter 27; “ David's military force. (1-15) Princes and officers. (16-34) ” - Matthew Henry Concise.

 

Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 27.   We see the Military Divisions; “This is the number of the people of Israel, the heads of fathers' houses, the commanders of thousands and hundreds, and their officers who served the king in all matters concerning the divisions that came and went, month after month throughout the year, each division numbering 24,000:1 Chronicles 27:1, ESV.  And the leaders, councilors and scribes appointed; “32 Jonathan, David's uncle, was a counselor, being a man of understanding and a scribe. He and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni attended the king's sons. 33 Ahithophel was the king's counselor, and Hushai the Archite was the king's friend. 34 Ahithophel was succeeded by Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar. Joab was commander of the king's army.1 Chronicles 27:32-33, ESV.  David knew the value of being and appointing good stewards over all of God’s gifts. God has given you and I salvation, prepared us for battle and spreading the gifts he has given us as we are Ambassadors; “19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”Matthew 28:16-20, ESV.  We just as David know the importance of a strong military.  God has identified the real enemy and showed us how to prepare for the battle, as soldiers of the cross; “12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.Ephesians 6:12, ESV.  Therefor as good stewards we will stand prepared; for War and Peace! If the Lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.

Can God’s Church Succeed?

The Best of the Feast

Apr. 18, 2016 1 Chronicles 26
Can God’s Church Succeed? 

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.


Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 1 Corinthians 13:4-5, English Standard Version (ESV)



Dear Saints,

Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1 Chronicles, Chapter 26; “The offices of the Levites.” - Matthew Henry Concise.

 

Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 25.   Success depends on planning and cooperation with God.  Today we see different duties assigned as there were needs and capabilities; “26 This Shelomoth and his brothers were in charge of all the treasuries of the dedicated gifts that David the king and the heads of the fathers' houses and the officers of the thousands and the hundreds and the commanders of the army had dedicated. 1 Chronicles 25:6-7, ESV.  God has a perfect plan and He gives us all duties in His Church body.  We all members of one body with each of us being a different member we complete the body; “To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.1 Corinthians 12:7-11, ESV.  In the Church body each of us are working together in harmony to accomplish God’s will.  By being together called according to God’s will we will succeed; “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.  If the Lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.

Want To Be In The Band?

The Best of the Feast

Apr. 17, 2016 1 Chronicles 25
Want To Be In The Band? 

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.


18 For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.1 Corinthians 1:18, English Standard Version (ESV)



Dear Saints,

Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1 Chronicles, Chapter 25; “The singers and musicians.

- David put those in order who were appointed to be singers and musicians in the temple. To prophesy, in this place, means praising God with great earnestness and devout affections, under the influences of the Holy Spirit. In raising these affections, poetry and music were employed. If the Spirit of God do not put life and fervour into our devotions, they will, however ordered, be a lifeless, worthless form.” - Matthew Henry Concise.

 

Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 25.   Today we see the order in organization for the temple and the worship of God.  There is two hundred, musicians and singers for the worship service.  “6 They were all under the direction of their father in the music in the house of the Lord with cymbals, harps, and lyres for the service of the house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were under the order of the king. 7 The number of them along with their brothers, who were trained in singing to the Lord, all who were skillful, was 288.1 Chronicles 25:6-7, ESV.  What a worship service that must be?  Does that give you a hint about what heaven will be like?  “23 Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! 24 And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!Psalm 139:23-24, ESV.  Some people think that heaven will be everlasting boring.  The believers will get wings and float around on pretty white clouds.  I think that every clean soul that enters heaven will be rejoicing, singing and worshiping God.  The only way anyone can be numbered in saints in heaven is through Jesus.  If anyone says there is any other way into heaven they are a liar.  I don’t think we can imagine what the future in God’s heavenly kingdom will be like.  I do know this however; I for one want to be in the band, when I get to heaven.  If the Lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.

Who Paid Your Fare?

The Best of the Feast

Apr. 16, 2016 1 Chronicles 24
Who Paid Your Fare?

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.


Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.Romans 13:8, English Standard Version (ESV)



Dear Saints,

Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1 Chronicles, Chapter 24; “The divisions of the priests and Levites.

- When every one has, knows, and keeps his place and work, the more there are the better. In the mystical body of Christ, every member has its use, for the good of the whole. Christ is High Priest over the house of God, to whom all believers, being made priests, are to be in subjection. In Christ, no difference is made between bond and free, elder and younger. The younger brethren, if faithful and sincere, shall be no less acceptable to Christ than the fathers. May we all be children of the Lord, fitted to sing his praises for ever in his temple above.” - Matthew Henry Concise.

 

Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 24  God allows King David to assign tasks to all the Levites. David organized them according to the duties of their service. “30 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites according to their fathers’ houses. 31 These also, the head of each father’s house and his younger brother alike, cast lots, just as their brothers the sons of Aaron, in the presence of King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of fathers’ houses of the priests and of the Levites.1 Chronicles 24:30-31, ESV.  Again “God gave David the Job of management for the temple service.”   God provided enough people to accomplish the task. They were all of one mind no matter what their individual task; they were all dedicated to God.  “17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread  1 Corinthians 10:17, ESV.  No matter what Jesus has called us to do, we are all one in the body of Christ.  Whatever duty we are called to in the body, remember there is only one head.  The head of the body is Jesus!  There is only one name under heaven which we are called by.  Jesus is the only one who delivers us to salvation.  Jesus paid the whole price for our sin.  It is pure joy to serve Jesus Christ.  No part of the body functions without the rest of the body.  The body cannot survive without the head.  If the Lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.

Fleecing the flock?

The Best of the Feast

Apr. 15, 2016 1 Chronicles 23
Fleecing the flock?

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.


For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed. Romans 13:6-7, English Standard Version (ESV)



Dear Saints,

Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1 Chronicles, Chapter 23; “David declares Solomon his successor. (1-23) The office of the Levites. (24-32) ” - Matthew Henry Concise.

 

Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 23.  King David prepares the people to manage in in the temple service.  “32 Thus they were to keep charge of the tent of meeting and the sanctuary, and to attend the sons of Aaron, their brothers, for the service of the house of the Lord.1 Chronicles 23, English Standard Version (ESV).  God gave David the Job of management for the temple service.  God supplied the manpower for the temple service.  Whenever God requires something he provides the means.  “do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.Philippians 4:6, ESV.  When the Lord calls on you to do anything be like David, don’t get upset do everything in order.  Look to God for the means he will supply you with material things needed to do God’s will.  Wait on the Lord, God will provide.  Don’t fleece the flock; God doesn’t need your money or means.  “14 So Abraham called the name of that place, “The Lord will provide”; as it is said to this day, “On the mount of the Lord it shall be provided.”Genesis 22:14, ESV.  Prayer, orderly planning and preparation is a must, faith in God is imperative.  Besides that with everything we’ve been reading have you noticed; when people endeavor to “help God” it is a mistake. Remember Abraham, Sarah and Hagar?   If the Lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.

Brother Mike
