May 31st Sunday and the beginning of the week. What do you expect today? What are you willing to offer To The LORD? What have you ask Him to allow you to do? How can He get glory from our life and conversation in the church? Let your light shine.

2nd Samuel 17:1-29 continues the demonstration of men angry with men. Hate, envy, deceit,abuse, vile conduct,crude physical acts,meanness and suicide are committed by people of Israel against one another and a son plots to kill his father and we wonder why some people do not love and respect our GOD.How does all this affect your concept of GOD? Take note of Ahithophel and look back at his history with King David and Bath-sheba the wife of Uriah who was the daughter of Eliam who was the son of Ahithophel. David consider him as a great influence on Absalom,yet David prayed not for his death but for his counsel to be of non-affect. We see all the failures of men and if we are not careful we can develop a concept of GOD The Creator based on how his people act. Read to know GOD.

John 19:23-42 shows us the last hours of Jesus. We have spent a week reading about the last six days of His life. Now we read about the last few hours as He is crucified, dies, his side pierced and taken from the cross and buried all so that scripture should be fulfilled. How does this impact your faith?Would you have been willing to take the bloody mutilated body of Jesus from off the cross, wrap and place in your sepulchre? We ought to be amazed at this reading and diligently seek to know our Saviour. He died for us while we were yet sinners!The Just for the unjust, the Holy for the unholy, the rich for the poor because He loved us. Amen

Psalm 119:132-155 continues to describe what a believer has in GOD and what an unbeliever will never understand.Where would you be without Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour?Has He been merciful and delivered you from your afflictions? Who have you told about your gift of salvation? There are only three verses of this Psalm that do not mention the word. Did you find them?Selah.

Proverbs 16:12-13 causes us to think about kings.We have read this past week about two kings,King David and King Jesus.Read to know Him.Look for connections and common truths in The Bible. Learn the promises and conditions from The LORD. Selah. Amen. pj
