Grace flows to a low place (Isaiah 41)

-


The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the LORD will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of water, and the parched ground into springs. (Isa41:17-18)

A stream of God's grace flows to a low place. 

It flows into hearts of the poor, needy and thirsty, so as to stay in their eager souls. The water overflows to become a river and makes springs within valley. And it changed the wilderness to pools of water and the dry land to water sources. 

This is the way how God's grace overflows to all over the world.

God's grace never stay in arrogant and proud hearts. Even though God gives grace to them, they can't enjoy even a drop of it. 

I understand why Jesus said that the poor in spirit and those who hunger and thirst for righteousness were blessed in 8 blessings in the summon on the mountain. 

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. (Mt5:3,6)

I want to get humble heart and live with a poor heart. I'm grateful to recognize that the hunger for word of righteousness and the eagerness for God's grace are amazing gifts for me. Hallelujah!


PRAYER

My dear lord, I'm always thirsty and expect your words eagarly. Please let this thirsty stay in my heart. Let me long for your grace continually in order for this thirsty not to be away from me. As David prayed, I also pray that your are my only hope and I can't live without you. I know well Im not able to be happy apart from you. Fill the living water of grace in my life and make my life fountain of grace flowing to the world. And I hope to be spring-maker who gives spring of grace to another. I prayed in Jesus' name. Amen!

Open our eyes and ears! (Isaiah 42)

The most important thing in our spiritual growth is not just to read bible much or have much prayer time. Even though we make every effort to obey spiritual rules, if we close our eyes and ears to God, we cannot see the Glory of God. Without opening eyes and ears, all the effort and work we do couldn't change our heart and lives at all. "Hear, you deaf; look, you blind, and see! ... You have seen many things, but have paid no attention; your ears are open, but you hear nothing." (Isa42:18,20) Who is blind but my servant, and deaf like the messenger I send? Who is blind like the one committed to me, blind like the servant of the LORD? (Isa42:19) ​Those who looked passionate for God's work - Lord's servants and God's messangers, were the blind and the deaf. The reason is their closed eyes and ears to God. Now people see what they want to see and listen to what they want to hear. In such a world, God eagarly serches for those who expect to see God's glory and...

Today's passage discusses the regulations regarding the lampstand and the bread of the presence in the sanctuary of God. Upon entering the sanctuary and facing the left wall, there are seven lampstands, while facing the right wall reveals the twelve loaves of bread on the table of the presence. God commanded the Israelites to bring pure, pressed olive oil to keep the lamps burning continuously, and Aaron was to tend to the lamps from evening until morning outside the curtain of the testimony in the tabernacle of meeting. This was to be an everlasting statute for generations to come (Leviticus 24:2-3). The oil used to light the seven lampstands was pure, pressed olive oil, and the lamps had to be cleaned and refilled with fresh oil every day from evening until morning. "Take fine flour and bake twelve loaves of bread, using two-tenths of an ephah for each loaf. Arrange them in two stacks, six in each stack, on the table of pure gold before the Lord. By each stack, put some pure...

Leviticus 23 outlines the regulations regarding the "Seven Feasts of Israel." Unlike national holidays, which are usually based on a significant event in a country's history, the feasts of Israel were established by God to commemorate future redemptive events that would take place in human history. God instructed that there should be a set time for each feast, and these feasts were known as "God's appointed times" or "divine appointments." The feasts were designed to provide an opportunity for the Israelites to prepare themselves spiritually and to remind them of their dependence on God. The seven feasts of Israel, with their symbolic meanings, are as follows: Spring Feasts: 1) Passover - Jesus' crucifixion and suffering 2) Unleavened Bread - Jesus' burial in the tomb 3) Firstfruits - Jesus' resurrection 4) Pentecost - the coming of the Holy Spirit Fall Feasts: 5) Trumpets - the second coming of Jesus 6) Atonement - the Great Tribulatio...
