Day 13

Day 13 Psalm 13 Proverb 13 Acts 13
(Psalm 13) Even though David cried out because he did not see God working in his life he was able to say that He had dealt bountifully with him. Bountifully is an odd term to describe the grace of God. David received the fullness of God€™s grace. That is the bountiful blessing of God. The overflow. The more than enough. The El Shadai.
(Proverb 13) There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing; and one who makes himself poor yet has great riches. This is the death that Jesus said we are to die. This is the first death here on earth. Whoever will give up all for the gospel€™s sake will receive here and in eternity. The wicked eat and are never full. It is good to be wanting in the natural. It is good to be wanting in the flesh. I am better off because of my lack in the natural. I am better off because of where I am. Praise be to God that he should find us worthy to be trained by Him.
(Acts 13) This is so opposite of what we see in the church today. So often we hear the man made steps to ministry. Never have I heard this preached. The prophets and teachers fasted and prayed and the Holy Spirit said to sanctify the men for the work of the ministry. Then after more prayer and fasting, they laid hands on them and sent them out. No manipulation to do worthy works. Just men serving the Lord and elders who were willing to fast and pray to hear Him.
