Today's reading: II Samuel 4, 5, 6; Psalm 3, 33, 63, 93, 123; Proverbs 3
II Samuel 4:4, "And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth."
I could not help but think while reading this passage how we are like Mephibosheth. Notice that he was injured as a child. He could not help the fact that his nurse had fallen and caused his injury. It was a tragic thing that affected him for the rest of his life. Why would I think that this person represents you and I? It is simple really. Mephibosheth was injured as a child. You and I were born with a sin nature. We are not sinners because we sin. We sin because we are sinners. You see; our father Adam has handed down a sin nature to all of us that we get at conception. We are sinners at birth. This makes us unable to make it to heaven on our own. It takes a sinless Person to pay the penalty for our sin (the sin of Adam).
Mephibosheth was helpless in and of himself to do what needed to be done. He was assigned a nurse to care for him. You and I have been given Pastors, teachers and godly friends and acquaintances to help us. I am so thankful for godly friends and family members who help us in our walk with God. It is the same way with salvation. We cannot save ourselves. We need Jesus!
I hope the next time you read this passage you will take a little time and learn from Mephibosheth and not just breeze over his seemingly difficult name.
How are you doing?
This blog comes from an idea brought about by the picture that goes with it. The picture is of a dining room table in a parsonage in South Haven, MI. The high dynamic range photograph makes the inside of the parsonage and the outside with it's fall colors stand out. It is a calm and soothing place for conversation. It is my prayer that this blog will be a place like that for growing in the Lord and studying His Word.

Today's reading: II Samuel 1, 2, 3; Psalm 2, 32, 62, 92, 122; Proverbs 2
II Samuel 1:10, "So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord."
David met an Amalekite and asked him how the battle went. Sadly this man chose to put his own spin on the situation. He very well might have been trying to gain favor with David. For some reason he chose not to tell the truth. He even brought the king's crown and bracelet to try to substantiate his "story".
So, what really happened? Look at I Samuel 31:4, "Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it." This man had a real lapse in character. He had the opportunity to tell the truth and he chose not to do that.
How many times do we do the same thing? This is a practice that should not be in the lives of those who name the Name of Christ. We are people of the truth and we should always tell the truth. Deception should not be a part of the Christian's life. Unfortunately, it is.
Notice David's reaction to the story of the Amalekite. Look at II Samuel 1:14-16, "And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD'S anointed? And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died. And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD'S anointed." Was David wrong for killing an innocent man? Yes; but, he did it based upon the admission of so called guilt by the man himself. So, ultimately he was not guilty. I am sure that if this man knew that lying would bring him to a place of being executed he would have reconsidered his decision to lie.
I hope you are a person of truth in all of your dealings. If you are one of God's children then you must be a person of truth. Remember, "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:32. How sad that this man was killed because of his serious moral failure. No matter what the reason for doing it was; he still lost his life because he lied.
Do you tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

Today's reading: I Samuel 29, 30, 31; Psalm 1, 31, 61, 91, 121; Proverbs 1
I Samuel 30:1-2, "And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire; And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way."
I remember in high school a young man had a very nice car. It was a Dodge Charger and it was nice. I also remember the day he came to school and told us that he did not have the car anymore. We were all deeply saddened by this fact. We all loved his car. Why did he no longer have his car? He was out for a drive and decided to see how fast it would go. Oops! The police stopped him going over one hundred (100) miles per hour. They called his father and he came to the place where he was stopped. After a scalding, one sided discussion between the student and his father the car was hooked to a wrecker and towed to a local wrecker yard. It was at this wrecker yard the car met with destiny. The car was put into the crusher and crushed into a metal cube of twistedness (pardon my english skills). You see the father of this young man was also a police officer with the same department as the officers that stopped his son. This young man never saw his prized car again. I think it became pop cans just to spite him even further. This way ever time he had a pop he could think about his car and his great transgression.
In this chapter of Scripture the men that followed David were angry with him and wanted to stone him because their possessions and wives were stolen from them. What was David's reaction?
First, David encouraged himself in the Lord. I Samuel 30:6, "And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God." Sometimes you fee like everyone has deserted you; but, there is still One who will not. The Lord will always be there for His children.
Second, David enquired of the LORD. I Samuel 30:8, "And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all." Notice that David's first response after being distressed was to seek the Lord. This needs to be our reaction also. I wish I could say that it has always been my first reaction. Most of the time my first reaction is poor, pitiful me. I remember a Preacher one time saying, "RRRuuun to the Lord" (run to the Lord). This needs to be our reaction every time. God help us!
Thirdly, David effected a recovery. I Samuel 30:18, "And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives." If you notice the last phrase of verse 8 also says, "and without fail recover all." This was God's response to David when he sought God. David did things God's way and reaped a great reward. So many times in our lives we try to do things our own way and we cannot accomplish what we want. That is the problem; it is what we want and not what God wants. If we walk with God and seek His face in prayer and Bible study we will be in tune with Him and His wants will become our wants and His likes will become our likes. You see where we are going here? I hope so.
Have you lost it all? If so, how did you respond?
(Author's note: As I was typing this today the website flashed and I lost everything I had written. The post was completely done and ready to publish. Then in a flash it was gone. There was over an hour of work gone. This David did not recover all in this situation so I just started over. God is so good!)

Today's reading: Psalm 119; Proverbs 31
Psalm 119:42, "So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word."
I will be teaching the teen Sunday School class in a week and a half. In order to better prepare for this I asked a teenager that is very close to us what would be some topics that I should address to help them in their walk with Christ. The answer came back as follows:
1.) Teenagers need to understand their need for God (they cannot do it on their own).
2.) Teenagers need to be reminded of the goodness of God (He does not always judge).
I was very grateful for these answers. I know that the teenager that I asked about this really thought about it and has given me a great answer. I was thrilled to receive it. Now comes that part that gets a little more difficult. Putting it all together could make or break our time together and my influence upon them. God knows.
Let's take a look at these two things. First, teenagers need to understand their need for God (they cannot do it on their own). I know many times in my life I have found myself in this very place. I feel self sufficient and able to conquer whatever life throws at me. Yeah, right. Then I have found myself in a position where I could not do whatever it was on my own and then I learn that I cannot do it alone. Look at Psalm 119:71-72, "It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver." These afflictions are to show us that we are not capable of dealing with it all on our own. In other words, we need God! See the words of John 15:5, "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." That is pretty straight forward.
Secondly, teenagers need to know the goodness of God (He does not always judge us). The truth is that God is the Supreme Judge and you cannot avoid that. He knows our ins and outs. He knows when we sin and when we do right. He is not some super supreme ogre sitting in heaven waiting for us to sin so He can pound us into the ground with His fist. This is a grossly wrong view of God. He is love. We all know John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." You cannot better prove God's love and goodness than right here in this verse. He loved and He gave His life for us that we might live. Thank you Jesus!
If we know Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Saviour then we too can say as the writer says in Psalm 119:98-100, "Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts." God and His word will become very precious to us. Look at Psalm 119:114, "Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word." We also will have a deeper desire for God. Look at Psalm 119:131, "I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments."
What is your view of God? Are you seeking Him with your whole heart? Sure about that?

Today's reading: I Samuel 26, 27, 28; Psalm 30, 60, 90, 120, 150; Proverbs 30
I Samuel 26:10, "David said furthermore, As the LORD liveth, the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish."
You have to admire David. He was given two different opportunities to kill king Saul and he did not. They were enemies; but, David refused to kill him. Saul was still the king and he would not dishonor the Lord by killing the king himself. He even rehearses that it will be the Lord that will take Saul out and not David. Notice David says, "...his day shall come to die...".
We all have a date with death not matter what we want to think. We will either die here on earth or we will be taken in the rapture if we know Christ as our Saviour. The Bible reminds us that, "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" Hebrews 9:27. It is not like we have an expiration date stamped on us somewhere; but, we do have a date with eternity. We need to make preparation for that date also. If you have never placed your faith and trust in Christ you need to do that soon. Don't put it off because your date could come up and you do not want to step out into eternity unprepared for it.
We all know too many people that it would seem to us that their lives were cut short and then they were gone. Just recently eleven (11) members of one family were tragically killed in a motor vehicle crash. Thankfully there were two young children that survived. What a tragedy! The worst part is that their system of beliefs dictates that they work their way to heaven. It is a sad reality that they might not be in heaven. God forbid! We have to do things God's way or no way at all. He is not an ogre; but, His way is the best way.
I hope you are ready for eternity. Expiration date? Yes, we all have one.

Today's reading: I Samuel 23, 24, 25; Psalm 29, 59, 89, 149; Proverbs 29
I Samuel 23:7, "And it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into mine hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars."
There are so many people today that are suffering. People suffer from all kinds of different ailments. Some of these are physical, some are mental and some are spiritual. So many suffer at their own hand because of bad decision making abilities or a total lack there of.
Being someone that likes to eat and enjoys food I somewhat understand. We are to eat to live and not live to eat. Sometimes the conversations in my life make me wonder which philosophy I hold. Many times I believe that I live to eat. I am guilty of driving several hours one way to go to a specific dining establishment. I admit it.
I was caught by the last phrase of our Scripture verse today, "for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars." We do not intend to be enslaved to whatever it is that we are enslaved to. I know many who smoke or have smoked and their original intent was never, "I am going to smoke these cigarettes and get hooked on them so I can die of cancer later in life." This is not how it works.
We must be very careful the path we walk that we do not find ourselves caught in a snare of the devil. We could easily find ourselves "...shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars." I hope this does not describe your life.
I hope that you find yourself the bond slave of the Lord Jesus Christ. If not you need to run to Jesus because He can set you free from all bondage and then you can be His for all eternity.
So, what has you in bondage today?

Today's reading: I Samuel 20, 21, 22; Psalm 28, 58, 88, 118, 148; Proverbs 28
I Samuel 20:11, "And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field."
As I sit and write today's entry I am in a borrowed apartment. The Church we are attending is quite a distance from our home. The Pastor would like my wife to play the piano for the Sunday services. In order to enable us to be at Church on Sunday morning and evening someone provides a vacant apartment for us to spend Sunday afternoon in. This is such an amazing blessing. It is nice not to have to make the long trip home each week. Today as we ate lunch my wife commented that we would just about that time be getting home if we went all the way back home.
These people know that together we make a team and they are trying their best to help every member of the team. Sometimes I don't know how to receive such unconditional love. We were willing to drive over each Sunday and out of love for us they have provided us a very nice place to stay. They understand that we need to work together and it makes it easier for us to be a part of the team if we do not have so far to drive. I feel bad for the one who owns the apartments that this unit is not rented. On the other hand if it were rented we would not have such a nice place to stay.
I like the idea about David and Jonathan both going out into the field. I know this is stretching the context a little bit; but, I thought of team work when I read this passage. We must work together to get things accomplished. Remember there is no "I" in teamwork. We have to work as a team if we are going to accomplish anything. We cannot do things on our own. We need to be teamed up with God and allow Him to work through us.
Hudson Taylor said, "Attempt great things for God. Expect great things from God." We need to go, grow and glow for the glory of God."
Who are you teamed up with or are you going it alone?

Hudson Taylor said, "Attempt great things for God. Expect great things from God." We need to go, grow and glow for the glory of God."
Who are you teamed up with or are you going it alone?
