Apr 28th Good morning to you all. As you read to know Him, please be grateful for all His favor, mercy, kindness, provisions, protection and grace given for you. Be sensitive to the leadership of The Holy Spirit as you read,pray and walk this day so that you are being conformed to the image of our saviour, The Lord Jesus Christ.
Judges 8:17-9:21 tells a sad story about the life of Gideon and his sons.We need to be careful and recognize the "gifts" from GOD and be careful to not let them become a snare and a curse. ALL things are of GOD! We need to focus on Him, not his.What does it profit a man with all the gold and a lost life? What did Gideon do to cause to children to go astray?If ANY THING comes into our life that draws our attention away from or comes between us and our Lord, consider it a snare,hindrance and sin.
Luke 23:44-24:12 I hope your imagination is so vivid that you can sense the stormy conditions,hear the crying people, watch the soldiers and hear the words of Jesus. The triune GOD at work! The Father, The SON and The Holy Spirit fulfilling scripture for all mankind, bruising the head of Satan, renting the vail so that all/any might come boldly unto the throne of GOD and be redeemed. What an experience Joseph of Arimathaea had of taking down the naked,broken,bruised and bloody body of Jesus from the cross.Then wrapping Him and putting His body away in his tomb. What an experience for those who came on Sunday morning to see the tomb empty and being told the good news "He is not here". Make your reading personal, read to know Him.
Psalm 99:1-9 Tells us that GOD is Holy. We ought to act like He is our heavenly Father and that as brothers with Jesus, we are to be Holy. Be right and do right now.
Proverbs 14:9-10 reminds us to be careful. Choose your friends spiritually.Selah. pj
