Grace for your spirit May20, 2009

Grace for your spirit

Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, how he set himself against him on the way while he was coming up from Egypt.  I Samuel 15:2

All the way on the trip from Egypt to the Promised Land, the armies of Amalek were in the way of God’s plans.  Just out of Egypt, and at the door of the promise land, Amalek fought against God’s people.  God chose King Saul 400 years later to punish that nation and completely destroy them.  Agag, King of the Amalekites thought surely he could talk his way out of this one, but he was wrong.  When we set ourselves against the purposes of God, there will be judgment.  If that has been our direction in life, we need to repent and pray before judgment comes our way.  Once we stand in judgment before the Lord, we won’t be able to talk our way out.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit

Philippians 4:23
