Life of David Part 19: Counsel Which Glorifies God Not Self

By insolence comes nothing but strife,     but with those who take advice is wisdom. Proverbs 13:10
By insolence comes nothing but strife, but with those who take advice is wisdom. Proverbs 13:10
​If you are reading with me daily, you know that we are reading about David’s life. Yesterday we read about how his son the conceited and proud Absalom has been conspiring to become Israel’s king. Today we pick up the tale in 2 Samuel 16:15-23. David and most of those loyal to him in his household had fled and Absalom entered Jerusalem to make himself sovereign. When he entered he met Hushai, David’s friend and servant whom David had asked to spy for him. Absalom was an intelligent man though not wise and said, “Is this how you demonstrate loyalty? Why aren’t you with your friend?” Hushai answered Absalom with wisdom, appealing to his ego. He said, “No, for whom the LORD and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, his I will be, and with him I will remain.  And again, whom should I serve? Should it not be his son? As I have served your father, so I will serve you.” (Verses 18-19). Hushai knew full well the LORD had chosen David. He said he would serve Absalom as he served David; he would continue to serve David while he served Absalom. Absalom accepted this because his self-important character chose to accept it and turned to his advisor Ahithophel, whom David and Hushai had prayed would give foolish counsel to Absalom. Verses 20-23 read,
Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give your counsel. What shall we do?” 21 Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go in to your father's concubines, whom he has left to keep the house, and all Israel will hear that you have made yourself a stench to your father, and the hands of all who are with you will be strengthened.” 22 So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof. And Absalom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel. 23 Now in those days the counsel that Ahithophel gave was as if one consulted the word of God; so was all the counsel of Ahithophel esteemed, both by David and by Absalom.
Absalom loved the fool-hardy idea! David liked the idea because it would show the people of Israel that Absalom was unworthy of being king, he was lustful, had no boundaries, and was disrespectful of anyone other than himself. 2 Samuel 17 continues with more of Ahithophel’s advice given in front of Hushai, David’s faithful friend. He said, “Let me handpick twelve thousand men and go after David tonight. I’ll come on him when he’s bone tired and take him by complete surprise. The whole army will run off and I’ll kill only David. Then I’ll bring the army back to you—a bride brought back to her husband! You’re only after one man, after all. Then everyone will be together in peace!” (Verses 1-3 The Message).
Ahithophel’s advice sounded good to Absalom because it appealed to his ego, it had a ring of “greater good” to it, and it even sounded a little godly. But it was not from The LORD, it was from Satan who hoped to destroy the Davidic line, in hopes of destroying the promise of the Messiah. But, not only couldn’t he do that, it was already too late; Solomon and Nathan Jesus’ ancestors had already been born. There is no way to stop God’s Word from accomplishing its purpose. God had promised the Messiah and He would eventually come.
Absalom asked Hushai what he thought of Ahithophel’s counsel and Hushai, knowing that the plan might work said, “That won’t work, David and his men are like hungry desperate bears, they’re experienced and they might ambush your valiant men and slaughter them. You’re better off to gather every man in Israel and you bravely lead them yourself. He won’t be able to hide anywhere! He nor any of his followers will survive.”
Verse 14 reads,
And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel.” For the Lord had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, so that the Lord might bring harm upon Absalom.
Hushai sent word to David via Zadok and Abiathar the priests to cross the river to keep Absalom’s army from drowning. You see, Hushai trusted God and knew that when the fight finally came, David would be victorious because the LORD was with him. Zadok and Abiathar got the message to Ahimaaz and Jonathan. But they were seen by one of Absalom’s men. Before they could get the message to David they would have to hide from him. They hid in the well of a woman who reported that they had gone on to the river. The next day they left the well and finally got the message to David and his men who all managed to safely cross the Jordan River and camped at Mahanaim. There Shobi son of Nahash from Ammonite Rabbah, and Makir son of Ammiel from Lo Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim brought beds, blankets, food, and wine so that they could refresh and keep up their strength.
Ahithophel realized his advice had not been chosen. His ego was wounded and rather than face disgrace with Absalom, he killed himself. In the meantime, Absalom’s army also made it safely across the Jordan and camped at Gilead.
2 Samuel 18 continues the chronicle. David split his army into thirds to send them out to fight. He was going to lead them personally but the men warned him against the move. Verse 3 reads,
But the men said, “You shall not go out. For if we flee, they will not care about us. If half of us die, they will not care about us. But you are worth ten thousand of us. Therefore it is better that you send us help from the city.”
 
David heeded their advice and commanded his men to deal gently with Absalom, his son and everyone heard the order. The battle took place in the forest of Ephraim and David’s men won. The casualties were heavy though, twenty thousand men died in that battle. Absalom was not among those who had died. He rode his mule and his long thick hair got him into trouble. Verses 9-15 read,
And Absalom happened to meet the servants of David. Absalom was riding on his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great oak, and his head caught fast in the oak, and he was suspended between heaven and earth, while the mule that was under him went on. 10 And a certain man saw it and told Joab, “Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in an oak.”11 Joab said to the man who told him, “What, you saw him! Why then did you not strike him there to the ground? I would have been glad to give you ten pieces of silver and a belt.” 12 But the man said to Joab, “Even if I felt in my hand the weight of a thousand pieces of silver, I would not reach out my hand against the king's son, for in our hearing the king commanded you and Abishai and Ittai, ‘For my sake protect the young man Absalom.’13 On the other hand, if I had dealt treacherously against his life (and there is nothing hidden from the king), then you yourself would have stood aloof.” 14 Joab said, “I will not waste time like this with you.” And he took three javelins in his hand and thrust them into the heart of Absalom while he was still alive in the oak. 15 And ten young men, Joab's armor-bearers, surrounded Absalom and struck him and killed him.
 
That young man was wise. He knew he had been ordered not to harm Absalom and if he had Joab would have let him take the fall for it. No amount of money would be enough to go against David’s orders and die. Joab on the other hand chose revenge and anger over wisdom and obedience and put three javelins through the prince, then had his armor bearers finish him off. Joab blew the trumpet and called David’s army back from pursuing Absalom’s army. When Israel heard that shofar, they knew they had lost and all of them took off and hid in their homes.
Zadok’s son Ahimaaz could hardly wait to tell the king what had happened. He begged Joab to let him tell David the news. But Joab, knowing how upset David would be over Absalom’s death said, not today. Instead Joab sent a Cushite to tell David the battle had been won. But Ahimaaz continued to beg Joab for the opportunity to tell David and perhaps be rewarded for the news. He would not listen to Joab’s advise.Joab said, “Listen, you will not be rewarded but go on if you must.” He had sent the Cushite for that reason, because he knew that David would not see the good news of the defeat through the terrible news of his son’s death.
So Ahimaaz ran and even outran the Cushite to reach David. Verses 28-30 in The Message read,
Then Ahimaaz called out and said to the king, “Peace!” Then he bowed deeply before the king, his face to the ground. “Blessed be your God; he has handed over the men who rebelled against my master the king.”
29 The king asked, “But is the young man Absalom all right?”
Ahimaaz said, “I saw a huge ruckus just as Joab was sending me off, but I don’t know what it was about.”
30 The king said, “Step aside and stand over there.” So he stepped aside.
 
The Cushite arrived and delivered the news of David’s victory, but David said, “What about Absalom? How is he?”
The ignorant Cushite answered, “May the enemies of my lord the king and all who rise up against you for evil be like that young man.” (Verse 32).
David was heartbroken. He cried out, even wishing that he himself might have died instead of Absalom.
 
Absalom had taken bad advice from the beginning. He turned to people who would appeal to his self-importance and conceit. He asked people who looked for rewards and accolades for their guidance. Proverbs 13:20 says,
Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise,
    but the companion of fools will suffer harm.

David turned to the LORD and to people who also turned to the LORD. The people who advised David were faithful to David and had his best interests, not theirs, in mind. Proverbs 27:9 reads,
Oil and perfume make the heart glad,
    and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.

 
Believer, where are you getting your counsel? Are you turning to The Counselor and to friends who turn to Him? Are your friends true and unafraid to sometimes tell you what you may not want to hear or do they entreat your ego? Remember this,
Faithful are the wounds of a friend;
    profuse are the kisses of an enemy.
(Proverbs 27:6).
And do not forget,
A man of many companions may come to ruin,
    but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
(Proverbs 18:24).
 
Believer, you do not need to turn to the world for wisdom; true wisdom comes only from God. He is indwelled in you and your fellow believers. Including the Lord in your relationships makes you all stronger and wiser. Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived knew the importance of true friends who all turn to The Counselor for their help. In Ecclesiastes 4:9-13, he wrote,
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. 10 For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! 11 Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? 12 And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken. 13 Better was a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king who no longer knew how to take advice.

Life of David Part 5: You are Not Meant to Walk Alone

8/20/2016

This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.  Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. John 15:12-13
This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. John 15:12-13
 You are not meant to walk alone. You were made in the image of God and one aspect of God’s being is that He is relational. You were made for relationships. You were made for a relationship with God and relationships with other people. David had Jonathan. The two were knit together, forever joined by God. They were not just friends; they were closer than brothers. Trouble didn’t separate them, but carried them through some very terrible times. Proverbs 17:17 describes this kind of friendship.
A friend loves at all times,
    and a brother is born for adversity.

1 Samuel 20 describes how Jonathan, who just could not believe his father really meant to kill David, stuck by David’s side and learned of his father’s murderous intentions. David was expected to attend the three-day Festival of the New Moon with the king at his table. But he didn’t dare because Saul was determined to kill him.  Although Jonathan was naïve to his father’s state of mind, he remembered his covenant to David and the LORD and remained steadfastly loyal to him. He was certain David was wrong and wanted to prove it to him. David was certain Jonathan was wrong and wanted him to understand how dangerous Saul had become. Verses 1-4 read,
Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah and came and said before Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my guilt? And what is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?” 2 And he said to him, “Far from it! You shall not die. Behold, my father does nothing either great or small without disclosing it to me. And why should my father hide this from me? It is not so.” 3 But David vowed again, saying, “Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he thinks, ‘Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved.’ But truly, as the Lord lives and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.”4 Then Jonathan said to David, “Whatever you say, I will do for you.”
The two hatched a plan. If Saul asked about David’s absence from the festival, Jonathan would tell his father that David was in Bethlehem to sacrifice. If Saul reacted angrily, Jonathan would know he wanted to kill David, if not then David would be safe.
Well of course, Saul was angry and this time his anger was directed at Jonathan as well as David since he understood the deep bond they had. He realized Jonathan had no plans of ever being Israel’s king because he was happy to let David take the role, the LORD had anointed him to take. Verses 30-34 describe it.
Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, “You son of a perverse, rebellious woman, do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother's nakedness? 31 For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, neither you nor your kingdom shall be established. Therefore send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die.” 32 Then Jonathan answered Saul his father, “Why should he be put to death? What has he done?”33 But Saul hurled his spear at him to strike him. So Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death. 34 And Jonathan rose from the table in fierce anger and ate no food the second day of the month, for he was grieved for David, because his father had disgraced him.
 
Saul knew in his heart that the LORD had chosen David to be his successor but he was resolute in making sure it was his family line that continued on Israel’s throne. Once Jonathan understood it, he was all the more devoted to David and went to tell David that he was right and Saul wanted him dead. He had seen Saul’s true nature when his father said such horrible things to him. He had seen David’s true nature throughout. David had never sinned against Saul. They said goodbye to one another knowing it would be a long time before they might see one another again, if ever. Verses 41-42 read,
 And as soon as the boy had gone, David rose from beside the stone heap and fell on his face to the ground and bowed three times. And they kissed one another and wept with one another, David weeping the most. 42 Then Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, because we have sworn both of us in the name of the Lord, saying, ‘The Lord shall be between me and you, and between my offspring and your offspring, forever.’” And he rose and departed, and Jonathan went into the city.
 
Jonathan and David’s bond, their friendship was based on God. He was between them and would forever be what united them. Though at times they doubted one another, they always came back to faith in each other because it was God between them and He is Steadfast, Faithful, and True.
When your relationships include God, you can trust the relationship and you will know that it is an eternal one. The relationships you have with fellow believers, ones where you intentionally include your Lord are powerful. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 in The Message reads,
It’s better to have a partner than go it alone.
Share the work, share the wealth.
And if one falls down, the other helps,
But if there’s no one to help, tough!

11 Two in a bed warm each other.
Alone, you shiver all night.

12 By yourself you’re unprotected.
With a friend you can face the worst.
Can you round up a third?
A three-stranded rope isn’t easily snapped.

 
Real friendships strengthen you, support you and keep you protected from enemy attacks. Deliberately inviting Jesus into the relationships makes them even more wonderful.  Jesus told us,
Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.  For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” (Matthew 18:18-20).
 
When we walk this walk together with Jesus, the Holy Spirit works even more within us. He is able to work through each of us to edify all of us. Proverbs 27:17 reminds us,
Iron sharpens iron,
    and one man sharpens another.

 
And 1 Thessalonians 5:8-24 says this,
But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. 9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. 11 Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
12 We ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, 13 and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.14 And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. 15 See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies, 21 but test everything; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil.
23 Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.
Believer, Jesus calls you His friend but you were not meant to be friends with Him alone. You have brothers and sisters in Christ to commune with as well. There is a world of lost people who need to interact with you, to have a relationship with you so they will know Jesus. In John 15:12-17 Jesus gave us this encouragement and commandment,
This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.  You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.  You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. These things I command you, so that you will love one another.
What does it mean that Jesus is our friend? We’re in on God’s will. He tells us what his plan is. But there is more! Job 16:18-22 in The Message describes Jesus this way,
“O Earth, don’t cover up the wrong done to me!
    Don’t muffle my cry!
There must be Someone in heaven who knows the truth about me,
    in highest heaven, some Attorney who can clear my name--
My Champion, my Friend,
    while I’m weeping my eyes out before God.
I appeal to the One who represents mortals before God
    as a neighbor stands up for a neighbor.

“Only a few years are left
    before I set out on the road of no return.”

 
David was a man after God’s own heart and he had a profound friendship with Jonathan. If we are to be men and women after God’s own heart, then we too must have those relationships. We can’t do all God’s will if we are walking a solitary walk.

Genesis 18 Intimate Friendship With God

6/20/2016

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me Revelation 3:20
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me Revelation 3:20
​Genesis 18
When we are in a relationship with God, it can become as intimate as we choose it to be. God is close and He will be as close to us as we are willing to let Him be.  That closeness, that deep familiarity and mutual affection we call fellowship or friendship is not always easy. It is fueled by faith and strong faith is not attained by an easy life.
Abraham had that kind of intimacy with God. His faith likely began when his father Terah raised him to follow the Lord. I am struck by the fact that Terah was seventy years old when he became a father to Abraham (Genesis 11:26). He had waited a long time for his sons and he had three. I think it is clear from who both Abraham and Lot became, that Terah raised his sons to follow God. His faith had grown from the time he first obeyed God and traveled from his home in Ur to Canaan. It grew more as he obeyed the Lord time and again over the years and it grew as He believed God’s covenant, God’s word to him about his future. Abraham’s road was not easy, his faith was massive, and his relationship with God was as close as any relationship could be. They were friends. The Lord enjoyed spending time with His friend so one day, He came by for a visit. (Remember He did not yet dwell in His people). Verses 1-5 read,
And the Lord appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat at the door of his tent in the heat of the day. 2 He lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing in front of him. When he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to the earth 3 and said, “O Lord, if I have found favor in your sight, do not pass by your servant. 4 Let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree, 5 while I bring a morsel of bread, that you may refresh yourselves, and after that you may pass on—since you have come to your servant.” So they said, “Do as you have said.”
The relationship is initiated by God but it is not forced. God showed up and let Abraham decide if he would spend some time with Him. There were three men, The Lord didn’t need Abraham’s company, He has Himself for community. He wasn’t lonely. He wanted Abraham’s company so He offered the chance for a little time together. Abraham took the chance and asked the Lord to stay and rest and take a little food. So, they, The Lord said, “Do as you have said.” Did God need a rest? Was He hungry? No. He chose to relate to Abraham on a level Abraham could understand.
What would your reaction be to having the Lord God come and agree to have a bite with you? I think that depends on where you are on your walk with Jesus. Would you cower in fear, would you be all formal and speak to Him in flowery words to keep distance between you? Would you fall at His feet, hug him, or give Him a high five? I doubt any of us can answer that question with complete objectivity. We tend to answer how we hope it would go down. One day, we will see Him face to face and since we will have been made into the perfect image of Christ, our response will be perfect love and worship. But for now, believers know Him just a bit, partially and even that is bigger than most of us can grasp (1 Corinthians 13:12). By the way, God has offered you the chance to fellowship. In Revelation 3:20-21 Jesus says,
 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.
Abraham’s reaction showed his friendship with God as the LORD. He worshipped and invited Him to spend time with him. Then he rushed off to prepare the water and the morsel of bread. Verses 6-8 read,
And Abraham went quickly into the tent to Sarah and said, “Quick! Three seahs of fine flour! Knead it, and make cakes.” 7 And Abraham ran to the herd and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to a young man, who prepared it quickly. 8 Then he took curds and milk and the calf that he had prepared, and set it before them. And he stood by them under the tree while they ate.
Abraham didn’t bring back a bowl of water and a morsel of bread. He had a feast prepared. He wasn’t doing this for the neighbor down the road, he was doing this for The LORD God Almighty. What difference does it make to you, when you are doing something for me and something for God? Do you do your best for God, do you give Him you best? Keep in mind that we are to do everything from washing a dish to serving a king as if we were doing it for the Lord (Colossians 3:23). Remember that whatever we do for even the seemingly most seemingly insignificant of people, we are doing for the Lord. (Mathew 25:40).
A seah of flower was a little under seven and half liters of flour, more than enough for three little cakes of bread, but Abraham had Sarah use a seah each for the three. Then he went and had a calf killed and prepared with curds and milk. (Had this happened in the days of Levitical law, he would have prepared the Lord a non-kosher dish). How long do you imagine that takes? Does it take a few minutes or is it many hours? He was giving the Lord more than a morsel of bread, He was giving him a feast and as long as it took to prepare it, he got to spend that time with God. As long as it took God to enjoy it, he got to spend that time with Him too.
Don’t imagine that the only time you can spend with your Lord is while you are at church or in service or in a carved out quiet time. What about the time you are preparing for those times? What about the times when you are working, concentrating on a task, or relating to the people in your life? If you allow the Lord to be in those times as well as the others, you can enjoy all that time with Him as well.
Abraham was not the only person present. Sarah was there too. She knew the Lord was right outside her door. She had made Him cakes and she could hear the conversation. She chose to remain outside of that fellowship. She chose to stay by the tent door listening. The Lord knew she was there and He invited her into the conversation. He wanted her to enjoy the same closeness that Abraham was enjoying. Verses 9-12 read,
They said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” And he said, “She is in the tent.” 10 The Lord said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife shall have a son.” And Sarah was listening at the tent door behind him. 11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in years. The way of women had ceased to be with Sarah.12 So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, “After I am worn out, and my lord is old, shall I have pleasure?”
Although the Lord spoke to Abraham, He addressed Sarah. His words were for her benefit and for her faith. She laughed, scoffed at the idea of having a child when she had not had her menses for such a long time. She wasn’t in menopause, she was long past it.  She had desired a child for so long and had accepted the fact that she would not have one, even in the face of God’s promise to her and her husband. She had been through many of the same things her husband had been through, yet her faith was not as strong as his. What was the difference? Abraham chose to have a relationship right up close with God and spoke to and listened to Him directly. Sarah chose to listen from afar and let Abraham speak to and for God for her.
I’ve been where she was. I have laughed at the idea of God fulfilling my desires because science and logic say it can’t happen. How did God respond to His precious daughter’s derision? Verses 13-15 read,
The Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?’14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, about this time next year, and Sarah shall have a son.” 15 But Sarah denied it, saying, “I did not laugh,” for she was afraid. He said, “No, but you did laugh.”
Once again the Lord spoke to Abraham but addressed Sarah and this time Sarah answered the Lord and let Him speak to her directly. This passage doesn’t say what Sarah’s response was. But we know that the Lord didn’t change His mind about the child. A year later Isaac was born. And God didn’t choose to remember Sarah for her doubt or her sins. He chose to remember her faith and her righteousness. Hebrews 11:11 is a testimonial memorial to Sarah.
By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised
Intimacy with God, friendship with Him also lets us in on His plans. How many of us go through life wondering what God’s will is for us? How many times have you asked your friend what her prayer is and she has said, “I just want to know what God’s will is.” When you are friends with Him, He lets’ you in on it. Verses 16-22 read,
Then the men set out from there, and they looked down toward Sodom. And Abraham went with them to set them on their way. 17 The Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, 18 seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 19 For I have chosen him, that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice, so that the Lord may bring to Abraham what he has promised him.” 20 Then the Lord said, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grave, 21 I will go down to see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry that has come to me. And if not, I will know.”
 
The Lord wanted to share His will with Abraham. He wanted Abraham to be included in His work. God doesn’t work in mysterious ways. He is open with us about His will and His plan and He lets us participate. His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9), but His work, acts, and plans are not mysterious. Jesus said it this way in John 15:14-15,
You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.
 
Letting us into His plans gives us to join in His work. Amos 3:7-8 reads,
“For the Lord God does nothing
    without revealing his secret
    to his servants the prophets.
8 The lion has roared;
    who will not fear?
The Lord God has spoken;
    who can but prophesy?”

 
God’s Word tells us His will and if we are in an intimate relationship with Him we’ll act. (BTW, God’s will is for the whole world to be saved, for your sanctification, a relationship with you and His glory 1 Timothy 3:4, 1 Thessalonians 4:3, Hosea 6:6, Isaiah 43:7).
Abraham responded to the news that Sodom and Gomorrah were going to be destroyed for their wickedness by intervening to try and save them. The evil of these two cities was more than simple homosexuality as some would make us believe. It was ramped depravity, debauchery, and sexual immorality. It was hedonism to such a degree that the residents only care was their own pleasure. But Abraham had hope for them, because he had faith. He also knew his nephew Lot and was a righteous man living in Sodom with his family. Abraham stood his ground and spoke to the Lord as only a loving friend can. Verses 22-26 read,
So the men turned from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the Lord. 23 Then Abraham drew near and said, “Will you indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked? 24 Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city. Will you then sweep away the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous who are in it? 25 Far be it from you to do such a thing, to put the righteous to death with the wicked, so that the righteous fare as the wicked! Far be that from you! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do what is just?” 26 And the Lord said, “If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole place for their sake.”
 
Can you imagine? He stood in the way of the Lord without letting Him continue onto His plan until He knew more and could convince God to save the wicked cities for the sake of the righteous men within their gates. He knew that the Lord was on His way, the two men went on to the cities but Abraham also knew God is sovereign and powerful. He wouldn’t have any trouble communicating with them.
He then had the boldness to go further. Verses 27-33 in The Message read,
Abraham came back, “Do I, a mere mortal made from a handful of dirt, dare open my mouth again to my Master? What if the fifty fall short by five—would you destroy the city because of those missing five?”
He said, “I won’t destroy it if there are forty-five.”
29 Abraham spoke up again, “What if you only find forty?”
“Neither will I destroy it if for forty.”
30 He said, “Master, don’t be irritated with me, but what if only thirty are found?”
“No, I won’t do it if I find thirty.”
31 He pushed on, “I know I’m trying your patience, Master, but how about for twenty?”
“I won’t destroy it for twenty.”
32 He wouldn’t quit, “Don’t get angry, Master—this is the last time. What if you only come up with ten?”
“For the sake of only ten, I won’t destroy the city.”
33 When God finished talking with Abraham, he left. And Abraham went home.
 
God already knew exactly how many righteous men dwelled in those two cities, one man, Lot and tomorrow we’ll read about what happened.
How close are you to the Lord? Do you visit with Him, talk with Him, and give Him your best? Are you His friend who He can share His plans with? Are you still waiting at the tent door afraid that God will see your doubt? God knows your heart completely whether you choose to be aloof or not. Let Him make you into who you are meant to be, the sanctified righteous image of Jesus Christ. Go ahead join Him for supper, hang out with Him and walk with Him.
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. James 4:8
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. James 4:8

Leviticus 24:1-9 The Lampstand and the Bread of the Tabernacle

5/15/2015

3 Comments

 
PictureThe Lampstand made of one solid piece of pure Gold
Leviticus Chapter 24 Verses 1-9

The Lord made laws even for His Tabernacle. And like every other statute there was a purpose and a glimpse of who He is in the rules. Verses 1-4 read,

“The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil from beaten olives for the lamp, that a light may be kept burning regularly. 3 Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall arrange it from evening to morning before the Lord regularly. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations. 4 He shall arrange the lamps on the lampstand of pure gold before the Lord regularly.”

The lamps were to burn always. They had to be attended to. The wicks were trimmed every day and the oil that burned was pure olive oil. The work that went into making the oil for the lamps was arduous. But only pure olive oil cold light the lamps of God’s lampstand. Once in Canaan there was an abundance of olive trees (The Garden at Gethsemane was actual an olive orchard with an olive press) but on the 40 year trek through the wilderness, olives were obtained as Israel came to them and then trodden into oil for the lamps. Once in Canaan, Israel used olive mills to make the oil. Olive oil burns without smoking and produces a bright flame.

The lampstand was exquisite it is described in Exodus 25:31-40. It was hammered out of one piece of pure gold weighing a talent (about 70 pounds). It had six branches and one center bowl shaped like almond blossoms with knobs beneath them. It was kept just outside the holy of holies and it provided the light for the sanctuary.

It represented the light of God, eternal, holy, and pure. His light is all we need. And in Christ we become lights as well. If we attend to our wicks (our relationship and communion) which maintains the anointing of the Holy Spirit within us, we burn brightly without smoke. Adding impurities causes smoke and dulls the flame. Jesus, the Son of God is the Light of the world, and we like our God are lights to the world. The flame beckons people to God, it reveals God to people. God will keep it burning if we keep the fuel pure. The fuel is the fruit of the olive tree. The fruit of the Spirit which expresses itself in our behavior as we are made like Jesus. The fruit of the Spirit is Love which manifests as joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. God is Love and we demonstrate Him as lights in the world.

Also in the tabernacle was the bread, called the bread of presence or showbread. Verses 5-9 read,

“You shall take fine flour and bake twelve loaves from it; two tenths of an ephah shall be in each loaf. 6 And you shall set them in two piles, six in a pile, on the table of pure gold] before the Lord. 7 And you shall put pure frankincense on each pile, that it may go with the bread as a memorial portion as a food offering to the Lord. 8 Every Sabbath day Aaron shall arrange it before the Lord regularly; it is from the people of Israel as a covenant forever. 9 And it shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place, since it is for him a most holy portion out of the Lord's food offerings, a perpetual due.”

Two piles of 6 large loaves of bread stood on the table in the tabernacle, they were replaced each week and the old bread was eaten by the priests in fellowship with the Lord. The bread, one loaf for each tribe represented God’s fellowship with His people. It was His invitation to friendship with Him. We can look back and see that the bread represents Jesus, He is the Bread of Life and his invitation to friendship with God is open until The Day of Judgement. Only the priests could eat that holy bread under the Old Covenant. And likewise only the saved, the Royal Priesthood may have communion with Our Lord God, The Bread of Life today. Our friendship with God is a holy privilege of being His children. We are not slaves to law and ritual. We are not children of the father of lies. We are children of the Most High, royal priests, sanctified and holy, anointed and sealed. We are friends and sons of God.

We are the temple of God. He is always with us. We are the lampstands. He is the flame who burns brightly to make us lights. We are the table of the showbread. He is the bread of Life who gives us life, provision, the sustenance of His Word, and an intimate relationship with Him to enjoy all He gives.

John 16:23-27 God Wants You to be Happy.

12/29/2014

0 Comments

 
John Chapter 16 Verses 23-27

Yesterday we read about how Jesus turns our sorrow to joy through the crucifixion and resurrection, and that the Holy Spirit makes it possible for us to experience joy regardless of our circumstance. We have joy because we are saved. We have joy because we understand God’s plans and purposes, and even when we don’t understand them, we know He has reasons.

Today, we will continue reading as Jesus expounded on God’s relationship with us. Verses 23-24 read,

“In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. 24 Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.”

We don’t ask things of Jesus, He taught us to pray to the Father. Before the crucifixion the disciples didn’t ask in His name because He was with them. But when He returned to the Father and sent the Holy Spirit they became His representatives on earth, just as you and I are His representatives. So we ask in Jesus’ name.

Jesus said many times whatever we ask in His name, the Father would give it to us. He said it again here with the addition “that your joy may be full.” What does that mean? It means that our friendship and partnership with God, the Father, the Son, and the Spirit would be complete and comprehensive. The joy of that relationship is bigger than we can explain to someone who doesn’t have the Holy Spirit to help him grasp it. In that friendship, God allows us in on His plans. (John 15:15). He wants us to know Him and to be glad. He wants joy to radiate from us and emanate every area of our lives. We can ask the Father anything, as Jesus’ delegates on earth and the Father will give it because He wants that joy for us.

God wants you to be happy. He doesn’t want you to trudge through your life. He made it possible for you to be jubilant even through the most difficult times. You have hope. You know your future. You have promises. You have a relationship with God. That camaraderie and alliance with the LORD is absolutely a reason to celebrate no matter what. And the Father wants to prove it to you. Jesus said, “Whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.” Verses 26-27 read,

“In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; 27 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.”

When you pray, you are not asking a priest or prophet to pray for you, and you are not waiting for a third party to tell you God’s response. You are not even asking Jesus to pray for you. You, yourself are going directly to Almighty God and asking. And He is listening because you are covered by Jesus’ blood. You are righteous and holy and you can talk to Holy Awesome God. You get to call Him Father. How amazing is that? Who are we? Yet, we get to enter into His presence anytime we want and enjoy fellowship with Him. And He loves us! He loves us a lot. He wants to bless us, give us gifts, and give us what we ask for!

Do you have children? Do you want them to be happy? Do you want them to succeed in life? Do you want them to meet the potential you see in them? Yes, of course you do. You are human, imagine how much deeper the perfect love of Love Himself is then. Luke 11:9-13 describes it like this,

“And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; 12 or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

You are more than God’s child, as if that isn’t enough. You are His friend, his partner. He adores you. He has so much He wants to give you. Just ask Him. Go ahead. If you aren’t sure if what you ask is wise or in His will, ask anyway. God knows His will. He won’t give you something outside His plans.

John 15:12-17 Friendship with God

12/24/2014

0 Comments

 
John Chapter 15 Verses 12-17

It was the night Jesus would be arrested, the day before He would lay down His life for the salvation of the world. He was teaching the disciples on the last evening as their Rabbi. Verses 12-13 read,

“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.”

Earlier in the evening, before the Seder, Jesus had washed the disciples’ feet, told them that the servant wasn’t greater than the master and so they should also be humble and serve. They should wash one another’s feet as He had washed theirs. He then gave this same commandment, “love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.” (John 13:34). He gave them the commandment again after supper but instead of talking about servants and masters, He spoke about friendship. His words had to bring back the memory of Jesus, their rabbi, bending down with only a towel on His waist doing the most humble of acts and calling it love.

But now Jesus followed it up by saying, “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” Jesus showed His love for the disciples by washing their feet, and act of great humility, then told them to love one another as He loved them. Now He told them again to love one another as He loved them but this time He told them the greatest display of love was in laying down one’s life for his friends. He was getting ready to do just that.

The disciples knew that Jesus life was in danger. He had not been able to teach and speak publicly in Jerusalem because the Sanhedrin had decided they wanted Him dead. Jesus had told them He was going to return to the Father. They knew His death was a real possibility but they also still thought He would somehow overthrow the Roman Empire and free Israel. He certainly was about to begin His royal kingdom and free many people from bondage. But it wasn’t going to be the way they imagined. Jesus was preparing them for His death, but they wouldn’t grasp all His words and comfort until afterward.

So Jesus continued to teach, He told them about the unique friendship He offered. Friendship with God. Verses 14-15 say,

“You are my friends if you do what I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.”

In the old covenant, Israel served God. He had plans and purposes that He didn’t always tell His servants. The faithful served God and sometimes He called them Friend, as in the cases of Abraham and David. Those servants who not only obeyed God but sought a relationship with Him were His friends.

But in the new covenant, Jesus extends friendship to everyone who will accept it. Being in a relationship with God, being friends with Him, God trusts us with the secrets of His Kingdom, He lets us in in the plan, and we partner with Him in it. We serve people to show them God’s love. We serve one another. We work to bring the lost to a relationship with God.

That is awesome. You are God’s friend! You don’t get to choose your family. You are born to them. You love them and they love you and it is a special relationship. But unless you were adopted, your mother and father didn’t choose you. Servants are chosen but there is distance between the master and servant. The servant has no choice in obeying the master if he wants to maintain that relationship. But friendship is special. It is different. You choose your friends. You choose to begin that relationship and maintain it. Friends become partners in life by election. Here is the thing about your friendship with God. He chose you! He said, “I want to be your friend.” Almighty Awesome Holy God picked you to be His friend.

He loves you. He adores you! He appreciates you, and enjoys you. His love is perfect, it is tangible, and it is awesome. Verses 16-17 read,

“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. 17 These things I command you, so that you will love one another.”

He chose you and expects you to live up to that high calling. He makes it possible because He is with you. You abide in Christ and Christ abides in you. That is how you can bear fruit. You live out the love of Christ in you and His Spirit allows you to work with God to fulfill the Father’s plans. He said you are His friend and all you have to do is ask the Father as Jesus’ representative to the world and He would give it you!

Does He give you what you ask because you are good, because you deserve it, or because you asked in just the right way? No, He gives it to you because He loves you, you are His friend and partner, and because you are loving people as He loves you.

John 14:18-24 You are not alone. God is with you.

12/21/2014

John Chapter 14 Verses 18-24

Jesus continued to teach the disciples at their Passover Seder in the hours before His arrest and crucifixion. Verses 18-21 read,

“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”

The words Jesus spoke hold great joy and hope. But the disciples couldn’t understand it all because they didn’t realize He was about to sacrifice His life and they didn’t completely understand the resurrection that would take place after. You and I have the benefit of knowing what was about to happen and we have the Holy Spirit, who reveals the truths to us.

Jesus was going to die, but that wasn’t the end of the story. The disciples wouldn’t be without Him. The lost world would think Jesus was gone and that was that. But even after His death, resurrection and ascension, those who followed and loved Jesus would know He is still with them. Do you now that Jesus is with you? Do you know God is always with you? What a wonderful comfort.

Jesus reminded the disciples again that it is by obeying His commandments that we prove our love. In demonstrating our love for God by demonstrating His love for humanity we get to know Jesus more. The Son is in the Father, and you are in Him and He is in you. Meditate on the awesomeness of that. Truly consider it. You are in God and God is in you, and Jesus makes Himself known to you. Then follow that thought and realize that Jesus is the exact image of the Father (Hebrews 1:3) and if He is making Himself known to you, He is making the Father known to you.

The disciples didn’t understand but wanted to. They had been with Jesus as His closest friends, students, and followers for a couple of years but without the Holy Spirit they couldn’t grasp the depth of the mystery that Jesus revealed. Verses 22-24 read,

“Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.”

Notice, that Jesus repeated what He has said several times, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word.” But look what else He says, “and my Father will love him.” He doesn’t mean the Father doesn’t love people who do not love Jesus. He means that the Father has a relationship with those who love Jesus. His love becomes an active relational love in which He interacts and communes with us. Do you get what a big deal it is that you can have a friendship with God? It is awesome in the truest sense of the word. It’s better than being friends with Billy Graham or the President. You can be intimate friends the Creator, the Lord God of Hosts.

And God makes His Home with you. The Father’s house has many rooms. Jesus went to the Father to prepare a place for you. (John 14:2-3). And that place, that home is with you! Believer, God is with you. You are not alone. You are never alone. Jesus didn’t walk the earth, then sacrifice Himself, resurrect and ascend to leave you alone. He did all that so that you could always be with Him. There is no long bridge from here to Heaven. There is no need for a staircase. Jesus brought eternity to you. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. (John 14:6). God (Father, Son and Spirit) are with you here and now. There is no need to be anxious, worried, or afraid. God is with you and within you. Jesus did a marvelous thing for you. He gave His life so that you could live in a relationship with God.
