The Lord of peace (Joshua 21)

-



And the LORD gave them rest on every side, just as he had solemnly promised their ancestors. None of their enemies could stand against them, for the LORD helped them conquer all their enemies. (Joshua 21:44, NLT)

God gave His people rest on every side, until they settle down on primised land -Canaan. God made all the enermies defeated in front of them so any other tribes couldn't dare to attack them.

Now we need to mention one point of truth clearly. It's that God doesn't plan for only good things to happen in our lives. Sometimes He allows kind of situations that His people don't want to accept in their lives - like 'darkness' or 'tribulation'.

I create the light and make the darkness. I send good times and bad times. I, the LORD, am the one who does these things. (Isaiah 45:7, NLT)

God create the peace but He also create the tribulation. But all the things are focused on His extremely good will. We usually continue to wanna get the perfect peace without any kind of tribulation, but God always continues to guide us the situation that we have only to rely upon Him.

What God really wants to give us is to live only with His presence all day long. ​Not only when we are in a lot of troubles but also in peaceful times, God rejoices in those who believe His soveignity thoroughly and long for the Lord eagarly. 

How can we live this kind of life?

That's going to be possible when God's presence becomes the only hope in our lives. That's so easy just when we walk with our loved ones​.

Today I  rely on my Lord so as to be satisfied and joyful just with the only one, my loving savior God.   

<Application>

I want to listen to my Lord's voice and give thanks, praise and obedience to God in my whole life proclaiming His promises.

<Prayer>

Dear my Lord, I praise the Lord of peace. The peace that you're going to give me is not a life without hardship. Rather, I believe that the true faith is to focus on God even when it's stormy. Though I am a person that is surprised by small things, I'm grateful for my Lord Jesus who makes me enjoy the peace in Your presence. Today I hope that You may provide me Your overwhelming grace. And lead my thinking, talking and acting to your strong presence. And let me experience the unconditional peace of Holy Spirit. 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...

The seven feasts of Israel mentioned in Leviticus 23

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...
