Mar 9th This is a good start for the rest of the work week. Be grateful. The thought for today and this week is"I am accepted in The Lord Jesus Christ and according to John 1:12 I am a God's child." Please don't get over being a King's kid. Hope you read today to know Him and grow in grace and knowledge.
** Please be careful as you read because this will affect your concept of GOD.**
Numbers 11:24-13:33 shows many aspects of how GOD cares for His creation. It is OK to ask The LORD questions. It is amazing to see how God puts "the spirit" that was upon Moses into 70 men and they prophesied and Moses said in verse 29 that he wished all men would do that. GOD is swift to provide for the children.God shows His anger with Aaron and Miriam even to the point of leaving. Now He causes Moses to choose out 12 men to be spies and sends them to look at the land of promise. Why do we forget the promises that God has made when we are required to put forth some effort to secure the reality of the spoken word? I love the spirit, faith and courage demonstrated by Jehoshua and Caleb.If you had been there what would you have said? Fear is caused by watching the circumstances and forgetting whose hand they are in! They are two years out of Egypt, days from the promise land and 38 years from getting there. What happened?
Mark14:22-52 we are privileged to listen to and watch how Jesus conducts the first communion service for His church. Judas has gone and "only" the true members of the church participate and soon they will fail and flee from His person. Why does The Lord allow us to be a part of His ministry? O' Lord help thou my unbelief. The only person reported to have kissed Jesus betrays Him for money. Let us be careful and not forget what GOD hates and what He expects from His own children.
Psalm 52:1-9 reads"Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man"? Let us apply the truth given and ask God to cause us to see Him more clearly so that we may follow more nearly. SELAH! Claim the provision of verse 9 and be satisfied.
Proverbs 11:1-3 allows us to take a snap shot of GOD. Note the use of the colon.
PS; some of you should be very grateful that the "time change" came on Sunday and not Monday or else you may have been docked for being late to work. pj
