Riches, Honor, and Life!

Week 13: April 1, 2009

Riches, Honor, and Life!

Our scripture reading for Wednesday, April 1 is Proverbs 22:7: The reward for humility and fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life. ESV

Wow, what a weekend of riches, honor and life we just experienced! A marriage seminar, a packed house on Sunday morning and Sunday night, along with a sold out Passover Seder. If you missed this past weekend I want to strongly encourage you to get your hands on the marriage seminar and the Sunday morning teaching (go here). Our guests, Myles and Katharine Weiss, brought such a confirmation to our ministry and the transformational work we have been called to here at Hope Chapel Lewiston.

I believe it was God’s timing to hear about covenant relationship from Myles Weiss in the midst of our journey: Pouring it out! 40 Days of Fasting and Prayer. I hope you are discovering that as you pour out, God is also pouring Himself out all over you and this Valley because He’s attracted to HUNGRY people. Our reward for this journey is not that we receive any glory, but the Father receives it all. In the midst of this place of riches, honor and life don’t lose sight of the humility and the Fear of the Lord that got us here.

As a word of encouragement to keep pouring it out, here is a great quote by Bill Johnson of Bethel Church in Redding, California: “In the world you get hungry by starving yourself, but in the Kingdom of Heaven hunger increases by FEASTING upon the Word of God.” I pray and trust that you are discovering this to be true in your life during this journey.

Blessings,
