Mar 6th Hopefully you are marking in your 365 Bible each day that you read the yr-09,temp and some of your plans for the day. You will enjoy reading next year what you did this year and hopefully see how The LORD favored you and yours. My desire is for each of you to accept the challenge to read to know Him from now(09)to eternity.
Numbers 6:1-7:89 Please read verse7:5and note the priority and sequence of service. Each of us has the option to make a vow to GOD. When you consider your choice, I recommend you look at the directive given in Romans 12:1-2 and then do what we read in Numbers 7:5. The strong statement made in verse 6:3 is bound by the first four words. Pray that you make the best choice and that it be to put God in His rightful place of FIRST, Him and Him alone! I am fascinated by the offerings of the twelve princes, yet encouraged in that as the record was so carefully made in detail it shows that GOD knows ALL. How many traits of God did you notice in today's reading?

Mark 12:38-13:13 Jesus takes note of the attitude of the giver and the amount of each offering. We can learn from what we have read so far today (Num and up to Mark12:38) that the books of GOD will be full of accurate details about each and every person and will be opened one day. How do you see GOD now? Jesus explains the past, present and future of His life for the disciples and uses the scriptures as the authority. The warning concerning the Spirit of the Anti-Christ was given for them and is applicable for us today. Yet even when we do our very best there will be conflict, even in our families. What ought to motivate us to stay by the Book is for "His name's sake". We are Saved, Sealed, Secure, Satisfied and Sent! His part has been done, now it is our time.

Psalm 49:1-20 How many times have we heard"Hear this"? Please note the promises given in this Psalm that apply to the saved and to the lost and see how that relate to money. I was amused at verse 17 and how it speaks of those that descend, but does not address those that ascend.

Proverbs 10:27-28 makes a stark difference between good and evil. Let us not be convinced that "works" or "good deeds" make us acceptable to GOD. Num 7:5 applies here also in that every man must "Be" right first. Then out of love for his Saviour "Do" right. To know Him is to serve Him and to serve Him is to love Him. We can read in John 14:15 Jesus said "If you love me keep my commandments." pj
