May 1st Judges 13:1-14:20 How many times have the children of Israel done evil again in the sight of the LORD?Can you imagine what it is like to be under oppression for 40 years?When you read about the parents to be of Samson how are you impressed by the provisions and restrictions of GOD?The LORD wants His will to be done on earth and obedience is evidence of love for the LORD.Do you wonder why the parents did not teach their young son separation from the Philistines? What was GOD's plan for Samson?Strength does not equate to honor, deception is not the best way to deal with people and jokes/tricks often backfire.Pray to be used of GOD for His glory.
John 1:29-51 I hope you are amazed at the description of Jesus that is recorded. Has He treated you as He treated Nathanael? How many promises did you see in this passage? Have you identified your life's goals with those of Jesus?
Psalm 102:1-28 Does The LORD hear your prayers? Let us be careful to consider His holiness and remember to admit our sins/confess, repent and seek Him early.When we pray, be grateful, thankful and consider all of His benefits towards us. Selah.
Proverbs 14:15-16 How many times have we been challenged to be prudent?Have you been looking well to your goings and departing from evil?We need to be careful, even in our successes, not to be self-confident. Selah. Amen. pj
