Mar 19th We had a great time with two of our grandchildren for a few days and returned them to their parents today. Lest you forget, The USA is the best place to live and raise a family. We have TOO many privileges of liberty and it appears that some of these have become a RIGHT that we selfishly demand. Where did the idea of responsibility go? We, that are saved, are not our own and when we act like we are redeemed children of Almighty GOD the lost will see and wonder why we are not acting like the rest of the world. Read to know Him. Be right and then do right.
Numbers28:15-29:40 is clear as the opportunity for the children to worship, they would follow a plan and offer the very best of what they had been given. Why should they obey? Why should we do our BEST? Be grateful that we get to offer freely a sacrifice of thanksgiving to our GOD. Did you today? Did He hear and accept your offering? What makes you confident that He hears your prayers?
Luke 3:23-38 declares the genealogy of Jesus back to Adam through Seth, the line of faith and is called the son of God. You can compare this with the genealogy as recorded in Matthew and see the linkage with David and Abraham where Jesus is called the Christ. Read to know Him.
Psalm 62:1-12 has a great promise verse for me in verse 5, "My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him". When you combined what we have read today and ask the questions "where do I go, whom do I seek and what do I need?" the answer is clear, wait on God. It has been said that if you seek any thing apart from The LORD, you seek vanity and it will disappoint you every time. Know and follow Him.
Proverbs 11:18-19 defines our conduct to be unselfish or selfish. When we act in a righteous manner we glorify our Heavenly Father. Be right and then do right. pj
