May 17th Hope you had a great day in SS and Church. Hopefully you read before you go to meet with other believers and get edified by the preaching.

Proverbs 15:15-17 causes us to agree that volumne does not always mean good.What is the "merry" level of your heart?Take time to be thankful for what you have been gifted with by GOD.Seek peace and fear GOD and be grateful.

Psalm 113:1-114:8 requires us to think about GOD and to praise Him for Himself.How much history do you read that declares the attributes of GOD?Learn to read and pray as you read the psalms back to The LORD. Recall His attributes and hide these verses in your heart so that you sin not against GOD.Praise Him. Amen. Selah.

John 9:1-41 records a miracle that is in two parts. First a blind man is healed and then he is sealed for eternity so that no man could say GOD was not merciful. How does this affect your concept of GOD in light of verses 1-5?Be careful to not take any part away nor add to this recorded work.This was a gift of GOD. This man had no problem giving a witness/testimony about his blessing. How do you give your testimony? How many "if" did you count that Jesus used in this readin?

1st Samuel 20:1-21:15 tells a great story of a lasting friendship between David and Jonathan while hatred is raging from King Saul against his son and son-in-law.To me it is trajic for a family member to have to flee from his family to their enemy. It is fascinating to see how GOD had put things in order so that as David was fleeing and unarmed that he ran to the priest for provisions and a sword.Yet every time good is being done the enemy is watching and waiting to cause evil to occur. Let us be aware that we have a real enemy who desires to destroy us and our testimony. Selah pj
