May 14th As you read today I hope you become fascinated by the similarity of the four books as they record how GOD deals with man,His creation.I am convinced that the stewardship principals laid out by The LORD are foundational to all other truths.What was the first order of business for Adam and Eve?Has that order been changed for you and me?Accountability is critical,prompt obedience is essential and blessings/rewards are evidences of approval. Don't MISUNDERSTAND,I am not saying works save us from the wrath of GOD, but works are results in action of our faith.Where do you get your faith? What is the source of your faith?When you get faith, what do you do with it?It is with the heart that man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation,Romans 10:10. Are you diligent about your faith?
Proverbs 15:8-10 Do you sense that your prayers cause GOD to have delight?How did you follow after righteousness today?As The LORD leads do you follow? If not, why not? How can you tell when the LORD is leading?

Psalm 110:1-7 allows us to listen in on a heavenly conversation. Where is Jesus now? What is He doing for you today? Try to grasp the significance of verse 1 in that The LORD said unto my LORD.How are His attributes demonstrated in this Psalm?

John 8:1-20 records for us Jesus dealt with sinners and unbelievers.What do you think was written by the "finger of GOD" in the ground at the feet of this adulteress who was caught is this sinful act? How many names, attributes and traits did you take note of in this chapter? We read to know Him.Jesus declares some of the traits of those who have been saved. The OT/Law was used by Jesus to clearly demonstrate the sinfulness of man and then He offered forgiveness, by grace through faith. Repentance toward GOD and faith in Jesus Christ. To know Him, to know both The Father and The Son, we are blessed! I can say,I am in Christ. Can you and what and where is your proof that you are saved? Cause others to believe and to be saved.

Ist Samuel l5:1-16:23 makes it very clear the benefits of obedience and the consequence of disobedience.There are several "key" verses I hope you noted.For example verse 1,10-11,17,35;16:7 and 13-14.As you consider these how do they influence your concept of GOD. Did you notice the attributes and traits in this reading.Try to imagine being there as a silent prayer warrior and interceding for Samuel, Saul and David.Please read carefully verses 13-23 and make a snapshot of The LORD in His Holiness, sense His Omniscience and Omnipresence.Now consider how you respond to simple truth that has been made known to you.Did you notice that new name in verse 29? How does this impact your plans? The LORD is not a respecter of persons. GOD expects all of His children to obey and to diligently seek after Him.These chapters cry out to believers about stewardship, accountability, faith, responsibility, opportunity and judgment. Read to know Him. Trust Him with all your heart and act like a son of GOD. Be right, do right and respond to His ability. pj
