ROBERT’S OPEN DECLARATION!”
My position in presenting these postings is done not as a pastor, minister, or teacher of God’s words. They are brought forward as messages to be discerned by those receiving them and choosing personally how to react. Scriptural foundation for their delivery Ezekiel 33:9
Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
It is with great love for all given to me by Yeshua that you are receiving them. Luke 10:16
[16]He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.  And all of God’s children say Amen and Amen

SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION

Matthew 6:26-27,31-33 NKJV
Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? [27] Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? [31] “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ [32] For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. [33] But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

COMMENTARY!

There are two simple requests from God so he can provide for us. To abide with him (live the first commandment). The other is to seek him first and only him. (obey the first commandment).

How many truly understand what the narrow path is and how you find it and, more importantly, remain on it. Why do you think Yeshua stated few find it.

Yeshua was describing a sincere relationship with him, one where a 100% commitment is required. One where your comforts are no longer worldly but spiritual and heavenly. Knowing the world offers nothing but sustenance for your temple, all else comes from and through God. Matthew 6:26 look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them.

And what excuse do I hear? Do you not think we pray for God to lead us to those who will help us. What happened to turn to God first with all your love, all your soul mind, and strength?  Matthew 6:33. Placing all your trust in God.

Then I hear, but I need help right now, or I will go hungry or won’t be able to feed the orphans. So what Yeshua states in Matthew 6:31 is just an empty promise, because you might need to endure what might be as Paul described as an acquired fast as part of your service unto Yeshua.

There is scarcely any sin against which our Lord Yeshua more warns his disciples, than disquieting, distracting, distrustful cares about the things of this life. As you ponder the situation, it is easy to discern the rewards of an instant society.

And choose to set aside that God knows your needs and by being obedient, patient and having courage to wait in the Lord patiently, will be cared for.

Matthew 4:4 KJV
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

But, you decided to be like the worldly (Gentiles) because you believe it can be had right now without any suffering. Because all you need to do is pray to the Lord  to lead you to a person who will help.  

Solomon, having a humble sense of his own wants and weakness, he pleads, Lord, I am but a little child. The more wise and considerate men are, the better acquainted they are with their own weakness and the more jealous of themselves. Solomon begs of God to give him wisdom. We must pray for it, James 1:5, that it may help us in our particular calling and the various occasions we have.

Those who are accepted by God prefer spiritual blessings to earthly good. It was a prevailing prayer and prevailed for more than he asked. God gave him wisdom, such as no other prince was ever blessed with; and also gave him riches and honor. If we make sure of wisdom and grace, these will bring outward prosperity with them or sweeten the want of it.

The way to get spiritual blessings is to wrestle with God in prayer for them. The way to get earthly blessings is to refer ourselves to God concerning them. Solomon has wisdom given him because he did ask it and wealth because he did not.

Christ largely insisted upon this caution not to give way to disquieting, perplexing cares, Matthew 6:25-34. The arguments here used are for our encouragement to cast our care upon God, which is the right way to get ease. As in our stature, so in our state, it is our wisdom to take it as it is. An eager, anxious pursuit of the things of this world, even necessary things, ill becomes the disciples of Christ.

Fears must not prevail; when we frighten ourselves with thoughts of evil to come, and put ourselves upon needless cares how to avoid it. If we value the beauty of holiness, we shall not crave the luxuries of life. Let us then examine whether we belong to this little flock.

Christ is our Master, and we are his servants; not only working servants but waiting servants. We must be as men that wait for their lord, that sit up while he stays out late, to be ready to receive him. In this, Christ alluded to his own ascension to heaven, his coming to call his people to him by death, and his return to judge the world.

We are uncertain as to the time of his coming to us. We should, therefore, always be ready. If men thus take care of their houses, let us be thus wise for our souls. Be ye therefore ready also; as ready as the good man of the house would be, if he knew at what hour the thief would come. Outward acts of self-denial profit little. What will it avail us to mortify the body if we do not mortify sin? No diligence in mere outward things could be of much use. The gain of godliness lies much in the promise; and the promises to godly people relate partly to the life that now is, but especially to the life which is to come: though we lose for Christ, we shall not lose by him. If Christ be thus the Saviour of all men, then much more will he be the Rewarder of those who seek and serve him; he will provide well for those whom he has made new creatures.

The greatest trial of a good man’s constancy is, when love to Jesus calls him to give up love to friends and relatives. Even when gainers by Christ, let them still expect to suffer for him, till they reach heaven.

Let us learn contentment in a low state and to watch against the love of riches in a high one. Let us pray to be enabled to part with all, if required, in Christ’s service, and to use all we are allowed to keep in his service.

Robert a humble obedient servant to Yeshua and his Father in heaven Yahewa. And all of God’s children say Amen and Amen.
