Off the Cuff

Leave a comment

Quickly

2 Samuel 7
Two observations, I think.

Sometimes, even Prophets give counsel off the cuff and GOD corrects. 

Want to see why I say that?

Verse 3 Natan said to the king, “Go, do everything that is in your heart, for Adonai is with you.”   source

Now, look what happened.

4 But that same night the word of Adonai came to Natan: source

See that? But that same night.  Quick action. 
I love that Father keeps close tabs on His own. 
Do you?

Here’s just one verse of what HE said.  
Perhaps you will read more. 

5 “Go and tell my servant David that this is what Adonai says: ‘You are going to build me a house to live in?   source

One more observation from these verses. 
GOD listens! 

These two brothers (in Faith) were talking to each other! Father GOD was listening. 
Do you like that HE listens to our conversations with one another?
I do. I really do. Each and every one of them.
And I LOVE that HE listens AND corrects His own.
Do you?

 

Love, Kathie

A Giant on a Hill

Leave a comment

I am still in the process and it looks to be a while, rather than wait I am here with what I have now.  Possibly short. 

1 Samuel 17.
Part of our Weekly Planner Reading

Just a couple quick notes.

Verse     8 He stood and yelled at the armies of Isra’el, “Why come out and draw up a battle line? I’m a P’lishti, and you are servants of Sha’ul, so choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.   source

Servants of Sha’ul (Saul). The Giant saw them as servants of Saul. I think they saw themselves as servants of Saul too.  
Let us never do that.
Let us not be or believe ourselves to be servants of man — even when we are serving man.  

Verse 11 When Sha’ul and all Isra’el heard those words of the P’lishti, they were shaken and terrified.       source

Do you know why they were shaken and terrified? 
Because they saw and believed themselves to be servants of Saul.

Who should they have believed themselves to be?

Verse 26 David said to the men standing with him, “What reward will be given to the man who kills this P’lishti and removes this disgrace from Isra’el? Who is this uncircumcised P’lishti anyway, that he challenges the armies of the living God?”   source

There we are! 

Armies of the Living GOD.

Yes. We do serve one another but we must ultimately know as Disciples of The CHRIST that we are servants of The Living GOD if we want to live holy and healthy. 

What we believe makes all the difference in the battle. 
When we are shaken and terrified; let us check what we have believed. 

Love, Kathie
