May 20th and we are still waiting and watching for Jesus to appear in the clouds and to call us out/catch us up in the rapture as described in 1st Thessalonians 4:13-18.
Proverbs 15:22-23 gives good advice about who we listen to and why. We ought to pray for wisdom in choosing our friends and be encouraged when two or more agree about an option we are considering. Making a decision is easy, but getting information in order to make the best dedcision is hard work. Be careful that your counsellors are on praying ground before receiving their report. If you are asked to advise a brother, get right with GOD first, seek the Holy Spirit's direction and be true.

Psalm117:1-2 shows us what to do. Praise GOD, praise ye The LORD.Amen. Selah.

John 11:1-53 We read this scripture and are shown the glory of The LORD. What a great commentary that Jesus' friend Lazarus died, Martha and Mary are comforted , Jesus weeps and Lazarus is raised from the dead.How are you encouraged by this resurrection?How does this affect your concept of GOD in the matter of eternal life? Does it bother you how Jesus was treated?If you had been there when Jesus called Lazarus out and he came, how would you give a testimony/praise for Jesus? Why did Jesus weep?Why do the Jews hate Him and plot to kill Him?If you were told to loose him and let him(Lazarus)go, what impact would that have on you?

1st Samuel 26:1-28:25 Have you heard the expression"dead men walking"? Saul is in great disorder and acting foolish as if he were desparate and backslidden.What would you recommend he do?David and his men are blessed and protected. Do you see the two camps, one wise and one foolish? All must be aware that sins will be known by GOD and there is a price to pay now and later. All men should repent, admit, confess and ask GOD for forgiveness. Read to know Him, learn what GOD hates and what He loves.Make that your guideline for life. Be Christlike for the glory of GOD. Amen.pj
