Nehemiah 13:30-31. “Thus I cleansed them from strangers, and appointed the wards of the priests and the Levites, every one in his business; and for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.”
IMPORTANT CHANGES. The house of God is where God dwells Among His own people on earth. It is not a hotel or just a place of convenience - Where God dwells is of inestimable worth. To let a man, take the place of God Is an insult of the most serious kind. To think we can bring man up or God down Happens when blind men lead the blind.
God has His way of supplying His servants, They are not men who are paid by the hour. God’s plan is for them to be freely supported By a portion of the provision that is ours. It is a simple plan but it works quite well For those who can count from one to ten. We set aside an agreed on reasonable amount And pass it on to make provision for them.
There are days when we work and apply our efforts To meet all the needs in life that arise. We must remember God wants us not to forget There is a time and a place where we bring praise. It is important to Him, and it should be to me To join with others in that meeting place. There in the place that has been chosen by Him, He meets us and we remember His grace.
The things that appeal to my natural flesh
Are not things that can please God. To do what I want and then ask God to bless May soon bring on me His chastening rod. It is important to consider before taking an action; Is this decision I am making in God’s will? To do things God’s way will bring the greatest satisfaction And His purposes in His way I can fill.
“O Gracious God, may I this day be found properly doing Thy will in Thy house in an honorable way that can bring glory to Thee. Mat the service we are called to here be such that those to whom we minister in the Gospel, hear and believe. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
