Mar 29th What a great day we had in our SS Class. Hope you were where The Lord appointed you to be, because in the center of God's will, even in a disaster is better than to be in a near perfect place away from Him. This week has been strong reading and it allows us to draw neigh to Him so that we might know Him.
Numbers was completed this week and we saw the provisions that The LORD made for the tribes concerning the division of the Promise Land.
Deuteronomy 1:1-12:32 Starts with a review of the history of the children beginning at Mount Sinai/Horeb and not in Egypt.GOD gave a charge, commandments, statues and judgments and told them NOT to add or take away "ought" from the words that had been given to them.The lifestyle prescribed in chapter 6 is valid for us today. GOD set before them a blessing and a curse and made it clear as to the consequences of their choices. Stewardship principals were reviewed and promises were made clear. The children were warned to be aware of false prophets. Hear and obey!
Luke 5:29-8:40 Shows us how Jesus called Levi to follow Him, how miracles affected people, and old traditions were not to be considered more important than the WORD. Jesus gave and explained the parables and recognized the faith of the centurion. After the man possessed of the legion of demons was saved we saw him at the feet of Jesus in his right mind, and then being sent home to glorify God. This is an"extreme makeover". What did God do for you? What was "significant" about your conversion? Will the real ewe stand up. Look at II Corn 5:17-21 to settle the matter.
Psalm 66:1-70:5 Causes us to praise The LORD our Lord with a joyful noise as we worship Him. We got to read about His power, salvation, strength, nearness and were reminded that He is the same today as He was then. Let GOD be magnified!
Proverbs 11:24-12:4 Reminds us of the stewardship principals and the key to our JOY is giving. Accountability to The LORD is critical and will affect our walk with Him. We ought to desire the good favor of our GOD. Read to know Him. pj
