Reading
and knowing the Word of God helps us to traverse the path of life with peace,
joy and security. It teaches us who God is, and who we are in Him.
Jesus
is not only in us by His Spirit, but He is also with us. He also works in us
and through us to reach the lost and dying world around us.
God's
Word enables us to discern the difference between God's Truth and false
prophets. It also teaches about the Feast Days of the Israeli nation, which
symbolize the life of Christ in our life.
For
instance, the Spring Feast Days are the Passover, the Days of Unleavened Bread,
and Pentecost. Fall Feast Days are the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement,
The Feast of Tabernacles and the Last Day of the Feast of Tabernacles
Each
Feast is a celebration of a momentous time in Israel's relationship with the
God of their Fathers; and they also epitomize an important time in the life of
every Born Again Believer.
The
Spring Feasts are related to the First Coming of Jesus Christ. The Fall Feasts
alert us to the Second Coming of Jesus along with the last days and millennium,
as well as the resurrection life available to us now and for eternity.
God's
Word also teaches us how to trust in God and to establish an intimate relationship
with the entire Trinity of God. It gives us tips on how to avoid the
degradation of sin and to trade the lies of Satan with the Truth in Jesus
Christ.
Prayer:
Father
God, thank You for not leaving us alone on this earth without a guidebook to
direct each step that we take. As we live in the moment, according to the
inspiration of Your Holy Spirit, we find fulfillment and success in this
sin-cursed world (Galatians 5:15-25). All it takes to share our testimony with
others is a short three-minute synopsis of what You personally have done in our
life.
Help
us to further Your Kingdom on the earth during our lifetime as we follow Your
directives and the wisdom in Your Word. Enable us to share Your Word with
interested people in our life, so that we can fulfill Your mandate to preach
the Gospel in season and out of season, when it is popular and when it is not,
when we are nervous or if we are confident by the direction of Your Holy Spirit.
Thought
for the Day:
As
we abide in God's Word, we will know the truth, which will truly set us free
from the bondage of Satan and the degradation of sin.
- John 8:31-32
