Here we are at Wednesday 4 April 2018.Numbers have passed off into eternity since our last session. It is a fact that we all will be "alive" 100 years from today either with the Lord God Almighty or away from God in a place prepared for the devils. All unbelievers are separated from God for eternity. Even those two thieves that were crucified at the same time Jesus was crucified, ONE asked for pardon and was granted salvation from the wrath of God. The three died that afternoon. God raised Jesus from the dead on Sunday. He is not dead. One thief is asleep in Jesus waiting for the resurrection of his body. One thief died in his sin and is in Hell. Read 1st Corinthians 15, Ephesians 2:8-10, Romans 5:8; 8:1-;10:1-14 and John 3:1-16. The Bible is plain that ALL, born of water, are sinners, coming short of the glory of God and the wage of SIN is death.

Those of you who are reading the One Year Bible, CONGRATS! Discipline yourself to read early  every day to know God. My wife and I spend about 20 minuets in the morning reading out loud, the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalm and Proverbs. We alternate reading a few verses so that we get to touch the Bible, see and read, hear, consider and receive the Truth. We ask for The LORD to cause the Holy Spirit to search our hearts according to the scriptures in the name of Jesus to cause us to confess any sins, to take our sins so that we may have fellowship with God. After our reading we discuss some traits of God or consider the promises made plain and also pay attention to the warnings.

Reading the Book of Deuteronomy is exciting because God makes His ways, statues, commandments and direction plain and simple. Chapter 6 is a key chapter for the family. Chapter 13 warns about knowing the Truth and being alert to the prophets. God makes it very plain for how The Jews are to worship and observe the offerings and given of the tithes. God declares who are the enemies of the Jews and why and how they are to be destroyed. All need to learn and respect the holiness of the LORD.

Reading through the Book of Luke is exciting. We need to remember that Luke is a Gentile and was not walking with Jesus.  Consider that these events and words are presented to Luke by The Holy Spirit so that we might be able to understand and know God.

After your daily reading of the Psalm and Proverbs take time to go back and re again the scriptures that "caught" your attention and Selah. This discipline will equip you to better meditate and memorize these Truths. We refer to these as promises verses, weapons and warfare scriptures, that The Holy Spirit may be able to bring them out of your memory to resist the Devil and overcome obstacles.  Read your Bible to know God.
