June 30th and we are nearly to the mid point of our goal to read through the KJV 365 Bible in a year to know Him. Congrats! We will start to read the Psalms through again and what an opportunity we have to appreciate the beauty of the scriptures. Please don't become too familiar with the Psalms and say because you have read through the 150 Psalms that you can skim through now. NO, this time soak up the majesty of our GOD. Pray back what you read, hide the promises in your heart and learn to sing and praise The LORD.He will hear your prayers and respond to you. Yea!

Proverbs 18;6-7 WARNS US TO BE CAREFUL HOW WE SPEAK AND WHO AND WHAT WE LISTEN TO AND HEAR.We are spokesmen for Almighty GOD.Selah.

Psalm 148:1-14 Praise ye The LORD. Do you consider this a command?Is there a promise associated with these verses?How many names of GOD have you learned this past six months? We get to express our adoration,appreciation,awe and wonder to our Creator.

Acts 20:1-38 Have you detected the pattern of events while reading the Acts?Preaching excites,thrills and edifies the believer.Preaching presents the Gospel so that unbelievers may be saved.Preaching offends the Devil and he causes his followers to react harshly even to the point of murder.We have a real enemy. Please consider verses19-21 as a goal for your life.Read again verse 24 and pray for the wisdom to know your opportunity to accomplish this in your daily life. We get to "testify the gospel of the grace of GOD". We tell others how The LORD, our Lord, empowers us with divine enablement, His Grace, to do His will. Amen.

2nd Kings 17:1-18:12 What a history lesson! What a sad report about chosen people who did not believe nor obey Almighty GOD. Do you see and make any comparisons to the USA? Pray1 Pray that we are not removed from the sight of GOD. Read 17:23 and weep.We need to learn that situational ethics do not honor nor please GOD. Read this history lesson and LEARN, lest we, the USA face the same shame and dismissal, because we did not fear Almighty GOD. He said for Israel to not fear other gods, nor bow down to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them.They did.We as individuals must be right and then do right, so that our churches might be a fit vessel for the work of the ministry, so that our town,county, state and nation please GOD. It is not their fault. We must admit and confess our sins specifically, repenting to GOD and having faith in Jesus Christ the Lord, expecting to be forgiven and cleansed, so that we may be bless and walk in the light with Him from now to eternity. Amen. pj
