To: Psalm 144

God seems to regard a certain amount of holy feasting as wholesome. The people of Israel were expected to devote 10% of their income to yearly religious vacations. AND to through a major-league block party every third year, again for 10% of their annual income. Exuberant festivity is part of Biblical faith. Stinginess isn’t.

Agreed. This whole thread sort of looks at these facets of the walk.

Feast or famine? The answer is yes.

Feast as the time, means and occasion are appropriate, famine if we have been idle, unwise, or are simply called to serve in that capacity, for whatever reasons of deprivation, witness or wise stewardship.

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” Thessalonians 5:16-18
