Grace for your spirit March 14, 2008

Grace for your spirit
Therefore the Jews of the rural areas, who live in the rural towns, make the fourteenth of Adar a holiday for rejoicing and feasting and sending portions of food to one another. Esther 9:19

In the time of Esther and Mordecai, the Jews scored a great victory in the world. Their lives were spared, their enemies were executed, their adversaries were converted, and they were being blessed. It was time to celebrate. The feast of Purim was started to celebrate and remember. The rested, ate, sent food to the needy, and rejoiced, thanking the Lord. In the church today, do we know how to rest and celebrate? We seem to spend all our time struggling and falling short in our mission. As we continue to fall short, our life is void of rest and celebration. Let’s start doing what God has directed, and then enjoy a little rejoicing and renewal to face our challenges tomorrow.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
