2nd Kings 1:2-2:25 Another king for Israel that chooses to cause his people to sin.Most of the people choose to follow their wicked king.The soul that sinneth shall surely die.Here we see again the awesome power of GOD being demonstrated to show His prophet Elijah was speaking truth. Fire on Mount Carmel and fire from the top of a hill, how much more is required to get the attention of the people of Israel and their kings?How many people and soldiers must die because leaders will not obey GOD?GOD was in Israel!Because we cannot box Him in nor understand all of His ways, this should not cause any person to seek an idol of gold, silver,stone or wood to worship. What a dramatic exit GOD provides for Elijah to encourage his disciple,Elisha.Elijah did not die, but was taken.How does this encourage you?Look carefully at the four test/trial/options questions given to Elisha. What do you learn about service to GOD?Whom do you love with all your heart? Act like it. Suggest you be careful about bald headed jokes. Amen.

Acts 13:42-14:7 It is sad that many of the Jews would not listen to nor hear the gospel. I am happy that the Gentiles responded and became our forefathers of the faith.The greatest evidence of any persons salvation experience should be as verse 13:52. Are you filled with joy and The Holy Ghost?Persecution continues and the Church continues to grow and multiply.

Psalm 139:1-24 Pray this back to The LORD and then ask the Lord to cause you to remember all of the wonderful things that GOD has done for you. If and when you get full of yourself, ask GOD to accomplish His will for you according to this Psalm.

Proverbs 17:19-21 What/Who do you love?Reread this Proverb slowly, and if you see yourself, stop, cry out unto The LORD, reapply Psalm 139:23-24, and believe GOD. Trust and obey! Selah. Amen. pj
