Apr 18th What a great day is set before us. Do you remember where we were a week ago and what we were happy about? Are you still amazed at His crucifixion and resurrection or have you forgotten and gotten busy with the things of the world? Pause and think, SELAH. Where is Jesus right now and what is He doing on your behalf?

Joshua 16:1-18:28 As the land is parceled out, the compromises of the tribes becomes evident. Look at the map prepared for Joshua and consider all the land West of the Jordan river to the Great Sea was to have been cleared of all of it's inhabitants, but it was not and trouble has been and still is brewing. Obedience is better than sacrifice. When will we learn from their mistakes?Let us agree that it is better to obey.Obey!What you,I or we do or don't do affects us and others.Don't listen, hear.

Luke 19:1-27 The Lord teaches about stewardship telling the story of a certain nobleman and reminded all of them,and us, that there will be a time of accountability. The final "fixing" of the books will be done by The LORD so that the true and just reward will be given to every person.The key verse is #10 and we need to remember eternity is at hand and our days of service are few, get busy.

Psalm 87:1-7 shows us the Cornerstone, where It is to be placed and how all that is built on It will appear, O City of GOD. Selah. One day we will be there and see It.
Proverbs 13:11 tells us honest work is worthwhile and will be rewarded. Be/do right.
Please do not waste the things of eternal value on the altar of the immediate. We are the sons of GOD, brothers to The Lord Jesus Christ, we have been redeemed and taken from under the wrath of GOD, indwelt with The Holy Spirit, predestined to be conformed to Christ likeness, left in this world to be busy about our Father's business and waiting for the coming of Christ in the clouds, Maranatha. Yea! pj
