Today's Daily Dose is from the book of Judges, chapter 7, verses 5 to 7.
📖 Judges 7:5–7 (KJV)
[5] So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.
[6] And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.
[7] And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place.
We go to church. About 3,000 soldiers.
There are so many people in church, but there are few Christians.
There are parents who drag their children to church or tell them what to do, but we do not care about introducing the person of Jesus Christ to them.
Most of them are just churchgoers who do not even know Jesus Christ. Many people are Christians today because they were born into Christian families. They do not have a regeneration experience. They do not have that personal encounter with Christ. They are just going to church.
Encounter does not mean that you are going to see something. But if you encounter Him, you will know. Encounter does not mean that something dramatic will happen. It happened to some, while for some, it is just a silent experience with God, without drama.
But sadly, most people have not had this experience, and they do not know this Jesus. They just go to church. They read the Bible without understanding it, and they do not care.
This has produced so many people who are hypocrites. They present themselves in church as holy, and when they get back home, they are something else.
Most of the people who are going to church appear good, but when they return home or go to their streets, they dress naked.
I want to tell you that your body is the temple of the Lord Jesus Christ. So wherever you are, the temple should be properly kept. It is not only when you are going into the church.
Let me not call it church. It is the gathering of the church. You are the church.
So every time, the church should be well kept. Every time, the church should be properly kept.
In Exodus 28:2, the Lord commanded Moses to make garments for Aaron and his people, and that they would be for beauty and for glory.
This means that as you are dressing for beauty, also dress for the glory of God.
In Revelation 19:7–8, we also see the bride clothed in fine linen, clean and white, which represents the righteousness of the saints.
There are many that went down to drink, but only a few really knelt down to take water.
God is coming to take the 300.
Are you among them?
Don't just be part of the crowd. Examine your life. Make sure you know Jesus Christ, make sure your life is pleasing to Him, and make sure your garment is clean.
The question is not whether you are among the many. The question is whether you are among the chosen.
Are you among the 300?
Shalom.
