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.

  God Bless You,

It’s Race Day!

The Best of the Feast

Apr. 14, 2016 1 Chronicles 22
It’s Race Day!

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.

 

24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. 1 Corinthians 9:24, English Standard Version (ESV)



Dear Saints,

Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1 Chronicles, Chapter 22; “David's preparations for the temple. (1-5) David's instructions to Solomon. (6-16) The prices commanded to assist. (17-19)” - Matthew Henry Concise.

 

Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 22.  In today’s Feast, David is told that his son Solomon will build God’s home.  King David gives his son instructions for building the Temple of God.  “18 “Is not the Lord your God with you? And has he not given you peace on every side? For he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand, and the land is subdued before the Lord and his people. 19 Now set your mind and heart to seek the Lord your God. Arise and build the sanctuary of the Lord God, so that the ark of the covenant of the Lord and the holy vessels of God may be brought into a house built for the name of the Lord.”1 Chronicles 22:18-19, ESV.  God is building a new church and each of us is the craftsmen of God’s new Church. Jesus laid the foundation of God’s new temple on the cross.  We are instructed to continue the building of the temple where the Holy Spirit dwells.  “ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”Joshua 1:9, ESV.  As believers we are responsible for gathering material and building this church.  Jesus gave us the great commission in Matthew 28:18-20.  Don’t be put off rather be courageous for the Lord our God is with us.  Keep praying and reading God’s Word every day because this is how faith is built (see Romans 10:16-18). “1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.Hebrews 12:1-2 ESV.  Remember today is the “Day of Salvation”, its race day! If the Lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.

Looking For An Excuse?

The Best of the Feast

Apr. 13, 2016 1 Chronicles 21
Looking For An Excuse?

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.

 

23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, Romans 3:23-24, English Standard Version (ESV)



Dear Saints,

Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1 Chronicles, Chapter 21; “David's numbering the people.” - Matthew Henry Concise.

 

Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 21.  In today’s Feast we see David influenced by Satan, take a census. God gives King David three choices for the payment price of this sin. David chooses God to extract the price of his sin.  “28 At that time, when David saw that the Lord had answered him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he sacrificed there. 29 For the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering were at that time in the high place at Gibeon, 30 but David could not go before it to inquire of God, for he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the Lord.1 Chronicles 21:28-30, ESV.  Even after God extracted the price of this sin, David was afraid to go past the angel.  Why do you think this is?   I believe it was because David didn’t know the mind of God.  “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughtsIsaiah 55:8-9, ESV.  This is the reason many people are afraid of Jesus.  They don’t understand who he is let alone why the price of sin requires payment.  I’ve heard many people saved and otherwise claim that; “Satan made me do it!”  The fact that Satan is there constantly insinuating that sin is beautiful, funny or cute does not excuse sin.  Nor does it excuse the price for sin.  Sin may look great at first but I can assure you it is spiritual cancer.  We have two choices either we die in sin or we accept God’s gift of salvation!  The price that Jesus paid is payment in full.  If you haven’t accepted Jesus I suggest you ask God (pray); then choose this link ( http://admenu.com/calling.html) to learn how to do it.  If you have accepted Jesus you need to be there to interpret a sinner’s cry for salvation.  Let your light shine and you will never be looking for an excuse.  In the process of letting your light shine you may be responsible for another saved soul. If the Lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.

  God Bless You,
Brother Mike

What Are The Odds?

The Best of the Feast

Apr. 12, 2016 1 Chronicles 20
What Are The Odds?

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.

23 And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. Luke 9:23-24, English Standard Version (ESV)


Dear Saints,

Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1 Chronicles, Chapter 20; “David's wars.
- Though the Lord will severely correct the sins of his believing people, he will not leave them in the hands of their enemies. His assistance will overcome all advantages of number and strength of those that defy his Israel. All that trust in Christ, shall be made more than conquerors through him that loveth them.” - Matthew Henry Concise.

 

Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 20.  Once again we see King David leader of God’s people blessed by God whenever they went into war.  The armies they fight against outnumber and outsize them, again God gives them the victory. “6 And there was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number, and he also was descended from the giants. 7 And when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, struck him down. 8 These were descended from the giants in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.1 Chronicles 20:6-8, ESV.  Our God is the awesome God!  As we faithfully serve Him God will overcome the odds every time. “10 But he knows the way that I take; when he has tried me, I shall come out as gold. 11 My foot has held fast to his steps; I have kept his way and have not turned aside.Job 23:10-11, ESV.  If we stray from God he will still punish us.  But against all odds we will have victory in Jesus! If the Lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.

Enlist In God’s Army!

The Best of the Feast

Apr. 11, 2016 1 Chronicles 19
Enlist In God’s Army!

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.

24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. 1 Peter 2:24, English Standard Version (ESV)


Dear Saints,

Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1 Chronicles, Chapter 19; “David's wars.

2 Samuel 8 ) safety of sinners consists in submitting to the Lord, seeking peace with him, and becoming his servants. Let us assist each other in a good cause; but let us fear lest, while made instruments of good to others, we should come short of salvation, through unbelief and sin.” - Matthew Henry Concise.

 

Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 19.   King David was blessed by God whenever he went into war. Again King David consulted God before he did anything. David trusted God, he had faith that God was true to his word.  David fought in agreement with God; “18 And the Syrians fled before Israel, and David killed of the Syrians the men of 7,000 chariots and 40,000 foot soldiers, and put to death also Shophach the commander of their army. 19 And when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and became subject to him. So the Syrians were not willing to save the Ammonites anymore.1 Chronicles 19:18-19, ESV.  God never changes!  Our relationship with Jesus includes serving in God’s Holy army.  Keep this in mind; “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.  When we enlist in God’s army we join in a heavenly war against God’s enemy.  Accept Jesus and turn from sin you will be sealed by the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit gives us a peace that surpasses worldly understanding. “25 Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.  26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.Psalm 73:25-26, ESV. If the Lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.

What Are You Trading?

The Best of the Feast

Apr. 10, 2016 1 Chronicles 18
What Are You Trading?

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.

11 Wail, O inhabitants of the Mortar! For all the traders are no more; all who weigh out silver are cut off. Zephaniah 1:11, English Standard Version (ESV)


Dear Saints,

Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 1 Chronicles, Chapter 18; “David's victories.

2 Samuel 19 ) under the Captain of our salvation, will end in everlasting triumph and peace. The happiness of Israel, through David's victories, and just government, faintly shadowed forth the happiness of the redeemed in the realms above.” - Matthew Henry Concise.

 

Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 18.   King David was blessed by God wherever he went, even unto war.  It was no secrete he consulted God before he did anything.  David trusted God, he had faith that God was true to his word.  David surrounded himself with believers; “14 So David reigned over all Israel, and he administered justice and equity to all his people. 15 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder; 16 and Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were priests; and Shavsha was secretary; 17 and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were the chief officials in the service of the king.1 Chronicles 18:14-17, ESV. God never changes, if we trust Him and consult Him another words have a relationship with Jesus, then God will bless us.  “for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”  2 Timothy 1:7, ESV.    If your considering asking Jesus for anything, keep in mind he laid down his life for us.   Keep the first thing first; that is salvation paid for by Jesus.  There is victory in Jesus in His power.  When we turn from sin to Jesus, what are we giving up?  Think about it, you’re giving up what you can’t keep.  What is that?  A temporary life filled with sin!  What for?  An eternal life, filled with bliss! If the Lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.

  God Bless You,
