Mar 31st Time is going by fast. Start a good habit today, be nice to a rude person. We received an advertisement card from a company who treats yards. The picture was of a bright clear green lawn w/o weeds or defects. In the middle of the green grass was a sign "ENVY IS CONTAGIOUS". I read it several times and then a thought occurred, "is this the way I want my neighbors to look at my stewardship efforts of what my God has given me to care for today?", and what do you think I decided? Do you want people to envy you and your blessings?
Deuteronomy 16:1-17:20 How many times will/must the history be retold to the children of Israel? Let us learn the ways of JAH. Let us learn to respect and obey His commandments.If God said there is only one way, one place and one sacrifice then let us do what He tells us.If God warns us to not worship or follow idols then let us do that.Let us learn what it means to testify under oath. The death penalty is proper, timely and applicable to all. We are to be alert, sensitive and willing to stand up for the laws of God.The provisions for a king was set forth, but God wants for all of His to not choose another person to rule them because men will not rule as GOD. When we choose a man as our leader, perhaps God will send us leanness of soul.Watch for those presumptuous sins. All should hear and fear. Read to know Him.
Luke 9:7-27 Jesus ask a personal question of the disciples that echoes through our ears today "But whom say ye that I am"? How do you respond to this questiion? Are you impressed by the feeding miracle? Do you wish that you could have been one of the 12 disciples and been involved in feeding 1/12th of 5000 or 416.67 men with your share of five loaves and two fishes and then picked up 12 baskets of fragments.WOW! How does this impact your concept of Jesus as God in the flesh? He explains the cost of being a disciple. Each of us must choose to follow or go our own way, but what advantage do we gain by forsaking God? Pray, if you want for God to cause you to see the BEST way to live.
Psalm 72:1-20 King David tells us of one day in the future that all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him (V12).He explains who this king is in verses 17-19. Read to know Him and look for His names, traits an attributes.
Proverbs 12:8-9 Did I ever show you my great big award badge for being the most humble missionary? Take time to consider what I ask you to do and then see through my "humility". Pride and being perverse will always be contrary to humility and wisdom. FACT, I did not receive ANY reward for being humble, it was a joke to cause you to think more of me than you should. We must be careful to humble ourselves or we might go hungry. Invite someone to have dinner with you in heaven.(no $$ 2U) pj
