Genesis 12:7 And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the Lord, who appeared unto him.
8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the Lord, and called upon the name of the Lord.
Time For God
.. Knowing God will provide giving room for time with Him. The same as we saw Abraham came out of his country with all his family. He had time for God – he built an alter – and God spoke to him. And that is what we do, our life our worship to Him is an alter God is building through you and I. Why is He building that alter? Because sometimes that alter has to receive fire from above. You are that alter, you are that offering..
Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Quality Time
.. And so we know that God will provide, He’ll give that time for Him for worship.. praise. I don’t know how He does it but He does it, that is the supernatural side of God that you can have that wonderful quality time in His presence worshipping Him. That must come first before anything else in your walk Christian. If you do not put that first things do not work out right. God will not take second best..
The Father’s Heart
.. We can rejoice when we see God blessing a saint for their labour, for their belief or their stand of faith or their enduring in faith. We can praise and worship The Lord with them aswell because it’s a comfort to those going through the trials. If you follow godliness with contentment which is great gain you will instinctively do these things and not have to be told to do it because you are hearing what God is saying – you are picking up your Father’s heart.
Meeting The Need
There are many many needs and God wants us to be sensitive and open but to be led by The Spirit – to walk like Jesus did. The needs that Jesus met in His walk were phenomenal but He knew what His Father was saying and His Father’s leading. That is what we have to come to. We cannot be led by our emotions, we have to be led by faith and the will of God. You get that and you will experience Godliness with contentment which is great gain.
1 Timothy 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
Colossians 4:11 And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me.
12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
13 For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
