#Honoring God

[walkswithmyfather]

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭11:23‭-‬26‬ ‭(NLT‬‬). “For I pass on to you what I received from the Lord himself. On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and said, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood. Do this in remembrance of me as often as you drink it.” For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are announcing the Lord’s death until he comes again.”

“Feasting as Wedding Preparation” By In Touch Ministries:

“Communion reminds us that one day we will gather with other believers at a table with Jesus.”

“On the night he was betrayed, Jesus celebrated the feast of Passover with His disciples. During their shared meal, the Lord gave His followers a new interpretation of the Passover meal.

By associating the bread and wine with His body and blood, Jesus revealed Himself to be the true Passover lamb who takes away the sins of the world. Communion, also called the Lord’s Supper, has been observed by believers ever since that evening, when Jesus said, “Do this in remembrance of Me” (1 Cor. 11:24).

As we take communion together, we remember Christ’s body and blood, given for us at the cross. But by partaking in this feast, we also think of the future, when sin and death will have been defeated once and for all. Then, at the wedding feast of the Lamb (Revelation 19:9), we’ll celebrate God’s presence and provision in our daily life while also preparing for eternity with Him.

Whether you feel close to or far from God today, know this: Your Creator loves you and invites you to sit at His table in this life and the life to come. His body and blood are the bread and wine that sustain us each day. His feasting table is a place of welcome, remembrance, and celebration. Will you accept His invitation?”

Swimming Against the Tide: Christian Reflections on Identity and Purpose

Reflecting on the image of the fish out of water, we are reminded of the importance of living in accordance with our God-given purpose. The fish, designed to thrive in water, finds itself in a precarious situation, much like we do when we stray from our spiritual path. Title: “A Fish Out of Water: Embracing Our True Purpose in God” In the stillness of nature, a fish sits atop a rock, an odd…

The Second Commandment is … Exodus 20:4-5 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness … Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve…

Isaiah 23:9 Destruction Of The World's Pride

The Lord of hosts has purposed it, to bring to dishonor the pride of all glory, to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth. Isaiah 23:9 People and nations take great pride in what they have built up and accomplished all over the world. Pride can be seen in the individual all the way up to entire nations in dealing with the smallest of things to the greatest of things. The sense of…

‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭23:4‭-‬8‬ ‭(NLT)‬‬. “In addition to the Sabbath, these are the Lord’s appointed festivals, the official days for holy assembly that are to be celebrated at their proper times each year. “The Lord’s Passover begins at sundown on the fourteenth day of the first month. On the next day, the fifteenth day of the month, you must begin celebrating the Festival of Unleavened Bread. This festival to the Lord continues for seven days, and during that time the bread you eat must be made without yeast. On the first day of the festival, all the people must stop their ordinary work and observe an official day for holy assembly. For seven days you must present special gifts to the Lord. On the seventh day the people must again stop all their ordinary work to observe an official day for holy assembly.”

“Feasting As Worship” by In Touch Ministries:

“Gathering to celebrate God’s goodness honors Him and blesses us.”

“When the Israelites entered the Promised Land after years of wandering in the desert, God issued a strange command: Feast.

Feasting and enjoying the bounty of the land were meant to tie the Israelites to different rhythms throughout the year—such as harvesting the first and last of the year’s crops. Festivals were also a way of commemorating the mighty acts of God on the people’s behalf, like the night of the Passover when God spared all who’d painted their doors with the blood of a lamb. Ultimately, these celebrations were an act of worship that reoriented God’s people to right relationship with Him. God was their provider and sustainer, so they feasted with gratitude. He was their rescuer and redeemer, so they feasted in holy remembrance.

Today we can learn healthy spiritual habits from these observances prescribed by God for the ancient Israelites. When we pause to give thanks for our blessings, we worship God with our time and attention. When we gather to simply enjoy His good gifts, we remember that “every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above” (James 1:17)—not from our own striving.

When was the last time you paused to savor God’s goodness, remember His faithfulness, and worship Him? Consider taking time to taste and see the goodness of God today.”

Proverbs 3:9 Honor God With All You Have

Honor the Lord with your possessions, and with the firstfruits of all your increase. Proverbs 3:9 Possession is what a person has. The goal of the world is for a person to get as much as possible. There is no thing as too much possession according to the individual, in the eyes of the world. The purpose of having more is so that a person can do more and be above all others. It also gives a false…
