Emulating God's Practical Care

-

Verse:"Joshua 18:7 - But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance:..."

This biblical passage highlights God's practical provision for the Levites, demonstrating His concern for their physical needs. Contrary to the notion that they had to rely on daily spiritual interventions, God established a system to provide for them naturally and regularly.

Numbers 18:21-24 explains, "Behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation." The Levites received a substantial portion of the temple income, ensuring their livelihood.

As we reflect on God's provision, may we emulate His practical care in treating servants of God. We can demonstrate our appreciation for their dedication by providing for their physical needs, just as God did for the Levites.

Galatians 6:6 encourages, "Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things." By supporting God's servants practically, we participate in God's plan.

Matthew 10:10 reminds, "For the workman is worthy of his meat." Let us show our gratitude to those who serve God by ensuring their basic needs are met.

As we follow God's example, may our actions demonstrate love, care, and support for His servants.

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, inspire us to emulate Your practical care for Your servants. Help us provide for their physical needs, demonstrating our appreciation for their dedication. May our actions reflect Your love and concern. Amen.

Verse: Genesis 48:11 (NIV) 11 Israel said to Joseph, "I never expected to see your face again, and yet God has allowed me to see your children too."

Verses:Genesis 32:22-32 "That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions. So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob's hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. Then the man said, 'Let me go, for it is daybreak.' But Jacob replied, 'I will not let you go unless you bless me.' The man asked him, 'What is your name?' 'Jacob,' he answered. Then the man said, 'Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.'" In this remarkable story, God comes down to meet Jacob in his moment of fear and uncertainty. Jacob is worried about his upcoming encounter with Esau, but God has a different plan. Inste...

When Superstition Overcame Faith

-
Verse:2 Kings 3:27 "Then he took his oldest son who was to reign in his place and offered him for a burnt offering on the wall. And there came great wrath against Israel, and they departed from him and returned to their own land." The alliance of Israel, Judah, and Edom had marched against Moab, confident in their impending victory. God was with them, ensuring their success. Yet, in a desperate act, the king of Moab did the unthinkable—he sacrificed his own son on the city wall. Instead of pressing forward in faith, Israel retreated in fear. Why? Because superstition, deeply rooted in their hearts, deceived them.   Though they were God’s people, Israel had never fully abandoned the pagan influences around them. Even their kings—Jehoram of Israel, Jehoshaphat of Judah, and the king of Edom—were not wholly devoted to the Lord. When they saw the horrific sacrifice, they were overcome not by divine judgment but by their own lingering belief in the power of such rituals. They assu...
