Daily Devotional – Year 2 – February 19

Go Ye Into All Your Heart!

TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL IS AN EXCERPT FROM THE ARTICLE… “Orion The Reaper”

.

“The field is the world;

the good seed are the children of the kingdom;

but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

The enemy that sowed them is the Devil;

the harvest is the end of the world;

and the reapers are the angels.”

Matthew 13:38, 39

The Bible is very closely aligned with wheat and with harvesting.

.

God has compared His people to wheat, and He has compared the end of the world to a great harvest.

.

**And the Reader should keep in mind that we are all doing less than we could be, in our duty to harvest the world (including the editor of this article).**

And so, the concepts discussed herein are for all of us to consider.

**We can all repent, and grow, and do better.**

.

For Christ is our role-model, and we have a very high and holy calling to imitate Christ in all that we think, do, and say.

THE GOLDEN RULE

.

“And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.” Luke 6:31

.

How would we want Christians to seek us out, if we were the lost ones?

.

Wouldn’t we want them to seek us out…to pray fervently for us?

Sure we would!

.

Then let’s go do the same!

.

The Bible says that “all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another.” John 13:35

.

Do they know you by your love?

Do they know me by my love?

.

Okay. We’ve messed up!

But it’s not too late!

Let’s start today!

**Let’s get rid of our harsh and flippant words and replace them with tender and sincere words in our agape desire for their lost souls!**

.

Let’s put away our toys, amusements, and worldly ambitions, and go to work for the Master…

“…behold, I say unto you,

Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields;

for they are white already to harvest.”

John 4:35

MY OWN HEART SHOULD BE WHITE FOR HARVEST!

“And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye,

but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

…Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye;

and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.”

Matthew 7:3, 5

Perhaps the greatest harvest we can engage in, is the harvesting of God’s Word in OUR OWN heart!

.

It is by hiding God’s Word in our hearts, that others may begin to see Christ in us.

This is evangelism in its truest form!

.

There are those who travel over land and sea to win souls for Christ, and yet their own heart has never been evangelized, nor truly converted!

.

FIRST SOUL RIPE FOR HARVEST: ME!

.

It just might be better to stay home and commit God’s precious promises to memory, and spend time pleading for God to remove my un-Christ-like harshness, than to travel to exotic places to hand out literature.

.

Listen… “He that gathers in summer is a wise son: but he that sleeps in harvest is a son that causes shame.” Proverbs 10:5.

.

This verse not only applies to gathering souls, but to gathering the Word of God in the heart!

When Christ comes, He will judge us by how I used my talents to improve the spiritual condition of my own heart, rather than how many people I preached to.

.

Just listen…

“Many will say to me in that day,

Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name?

and in thy name have cast out devils?

and in thy name done many wonderful works?

And then will I profess unto them,

I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”

Matthew 7:22, 23.

.

To be so busy in some ministry or church duties, without personal purification time, is futile, at best!

.

The main focus of any Christian should be the purification of his or her own heart.

.

THE GOOD NEWS

.

Okay, so we all have messed up!

.

But what can we do about it?

We just can’t erase what we’ve done, can we?

Well, we can’t! But there is One who can!

And we need to go to Him in heartfelt repentance and remorse, asking Him to diminish the evil and destruction that our heartless words and deeds have done!

.

Well, we have a promise from God…

“Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep:

let your laughter be turned to mourning,

and your joy to heaviness.

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord,

and He shall lift you up.”

James 4:9, 10

.

Yes, if we will only humble ourselves under His mighty chastening hand, God promises to lift us up and restore us to His service.

.

And that’s truly amazing grace!

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

.

FINDING ORION ‘THE REAPER’…

**This constellation is the 3rd member of the ‘Orion Constellation’ Phenomena.**

.

This particular version of Orion is easily seen (if you know what to look for). First you must locate Orion.

And then try to find the stars which comprise his sickle.

The two brightest stars of his sickle are at the blade.

**These two stars are Castor and Pollux. Castor and Pollux are known commonly as being in the Gemini Constellation.**

**Of course, Orion is seen in the colder months, but can even be seen starting in late summer, in the eastern skies in the wee hours of morning.**

At first he is lying down. But gradually through the night and through the winter, he more and more stands upright.

The sketches on this page are rough and do not show every star exactly.

.

However they are close enough to be able to locate this 3rd office that Orion holds (Orion the: 1. Archer 2. Soldier 3. Reaper 4. Cross ).
