Today’s Feast
Dec. 14,
2015 – I Samuel 31
A Unique
Fellowship With 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.
“26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent
from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to
a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of
David. And the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And he
came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with
you!”” Luke
1:26-28, English Standard Version (ESV).
Dear
Saints,
Thank
you for joining us, as we prayerfully and faithfully continue the Feast in 1 Samuel
Chapter
31; “Saul's defeat and death. (1-7) Saul's body rescued by the men of
Jabesh-gilead. (8-13)” - Matthew
Henry Concise.
Here we see Saul’s defeat and self-destruction. We cannot make
spiritual decisions about Saul’s choice. The same for us; our salvation is
between us and God. Saul’s body and those of his sons were retrieved by the
men of Jabesh-gilead. They burned their bodies and buried their bones. Then they
fasted because they honored God’s chosen leader. “8 The
next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and
his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. 9 So they
cut off his head and stripped off his armor and sent messengers throughout
the land of the Philistines, to carry the good news to the house of
their idols and to the people.10 They put his armor in
the temple of Ashtaroth, and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan. 11 But
when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to
Saul, 12 all the valiant men arose and went all
night and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of
Beth-shan, and they came to Jabesh and burned them there. 13 And
they took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree in
Jabesh and fasted seven days.” I
Samuel 31:11-13, ESV. When a man accepts the Lord and turns his life over
to Jesus, he begins a unique fellowship with God. You may know him by his
fruit but, not by the relationship God has forged with him. When
you think a believer is going off the right track with God, pray for him. We
are not to rebuke or objurgate or be chin-wagging against them. See; 1
Thessalonians 4:6, Matthew
18:2, Deuteronomy
19:15. We do well to keep the first thing first, salvation through the
blood of the lamb, Jesus. “18 having
the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope
to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious
inheritance in the saints,” Ephesians
1:18, ESV. If the Lord is willing
I’ll send and post the Feast again tomorrow.
You’ll find the praise and prayer list at; admenu.com/prayer.html. Prayer request or Praise reports can be
sent to brother Mike at; mike@admenu.com
Don’t get caught up in “religion”, it is about a relationship.
Our salvation depends completely on God! We are the Saints that Jesus
sacrificed his life to pay in full for our sin, when we repent and accept
Jesus. He will come to get every Saint; “36 “But concerning that day
and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the
Father only.” Matthew
24:36, ESV. We are building our relationship with Jesus right now, do
not wait while you try to change anything.
