June 5th What a day to be on the high plains of Texas. We watch a glorious display of GOD's handiwork in the thunderstorm with flashing lightening, loud thunder and rain.Only a foolish person would say there is no GOD.

Proverbs 16:21-23 outlines a godly model of conduct.It would be foolishness to try to do right and not to know Him who judges all men.Yet, for those of us who say we know Him and do not do right, it is also foolishness.Seek to be prudent,seek understanding,get instruction,keep your heart pure and love GOD supremely. Amen.

Psalm 123:1-4 serves as an attitude check.Where are you looking,who are you serving,what are you confessing,how is your thought life and are you praising The LORD for His mercy?Look up and see GOD!It is our choice where we look. Be prudent.

Acts 3:1-26 The acts of the Apostles reflects their faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. How is our faith demonstrated? It is marvelous to touch another person and they be healed, but what do you call "it" when a persons hears the good news from your lips and they believe and are saved?WOW!!!Peter tells that day all of the sin issue must be settled with GOD and that Jesus was,is and will be the ONLY way for salvation from the wrath of GOD. How many names of GOD did you underline? Let us learn to give GOD the glory.Pray to be used, prepare and know the Gospel and expect The Holy Spirit to lead you to a certain lame and lost person so that they may be saved. Silver and gold is not the answer, GOSPEL is the only solution to sin.

2nd Samuel 23:24-24:25 Oh to be a man of valor.Not than man would notice, but that The LORD would write your name is His book of truth.Hopefully you have connected verses 34 and 39 and realized the impact of one of the worst moments of King David's life. Bath-sheba was the daughter of Eliam.One of David's lapse of character that The LORD records is the matter of Uriah the Hittite. Now King David, without seeking The LORD's direction and refusing the advice and counsel of his staff, directs them to commit the sin of numbering Israel.How does verse 24:1 help you to better understand your concept of GOD?One sin may cause a baby to die or 70,000 men to die. David makes a wise choice to trust God in the matter of judgment.Take note of the attitude of worship of David in verse 24:17-25 and consider how you give an offering.We are blessed to "say" 1st John 1:9 when we sin, what does it cost us?Pray, as a son of GOD, to appreciate more seriously/sincerely all that Jesus Christ, our Saviour, has done for us.Will you use this stewardship principal? Selah. pj
