It is summer, the traditional time of family vacations, seaside picnics, and feasting with friends. It is a time for watermelons, barbecue, and cold iced tea.
When JULY comes around, we need to reach out and grab God’s gift, for it is a time of warmth, leisure, and endless days in the sun.
It is JULY, the best month of the year.
Let’s look at our JULY God:
J – He JOINS us together, that we may dine at his feast.
There is no greater joy than to spend time among friends. 1 Corinthians 6:17 gives us the assurance that we are entwined with Christ in the greatest friendship of all time.
U – The UTTERMOST parts of the earth are invited to his feast.
All are invited to the celebration of the Father. Acts 1:8 reveals that we shall draw his guests not only from our intimate circle of friends, but they shall come from the UTTERMOST parts of the world.
L – He LAYS out a barbecue spread of fabulous proportions.
When it is the time of feasting, we need have no fear of lack. Psalm 33:7 tells us that all God’s bounty is stored away for us, and we cannot use it up.
Y – He holds our YESTERDAY securely in his hands.
When life is hard, and we fear God has forgotten us, all we have to do is look behind us. Hebrews 13:8 assures us we will find Jesus in our YESTERDAY, our today, and our tomorrow.
When we gather with God, and we invite our friends, we will enjoy a feast of the most bountiful kind. If we spread the news, soon our feast will encompass the whole world, and everyone will learn what God wants us to share.
His feast is ours, and everyone is invited to the table to dine with him.
When God lays out a spread, every attendee can dine to his heart’s content.
