July 11th a day of opportunity. Take time to share truth with another. Who was influential in your salvation experience. Have you thanked The LORD for that person?
Hope to see you in SS Class @09:45. Come and be a blessing to us.

1st Chronicles 11:1-12:18 A roll call of mighty men of valor.I hope you read and re read these verses. I hope you want to be considered a mighty man of valor for GOD. David was blessed.Will Rogers said"we can't all be heroes, some of us have to stand on the curb and clap as they go by." Please clap for these men.Because David preferred God and put Him first, his men put David first. What a snapshot of selflessness. Who are you striving to please today?

Acts 28:1-31 The long journey is now complete, Paul is in Rome.Our SS Class in the correctional institute in Georgia,1980-92, was called "bound but free" based on these scriptures.We have heard the saying"where GOD leads,He feeds" or "where GOD guides,He provides" and these are so in this account of Paul's journey from Jerusalem to Rome.What has GOD given to Paul that He has not given to you? Please don't focus on the circumstances, but focus on GOD. When you cannot see His hand trust His heart. Paul penned Romans 7 & 8 for our benefit. The problem that Paul encountered is addressed in v26-31, but he continued in his preaching.How do you see The LORD working in these verses? Has He changed? How does this change your life?

Psalm 9:1-12 I have heard it said that if there were only one lost man GOD would have still sent His Son to save him. If you were the only saved person in your family, neighborhood, city, country, Continent would any one else hear about GOD'S favor toward you personally? How do you praise Him? Why do you praise Him? Does GOD consider you humble? Whom do you trust? Who has trusted GOD because of you? Selah.

Proverbs 19:1-3 Where did you get your integrity? Are you fretting against GOD? Do you remember Psalm 7:8 and have you asked The LORD to judge you, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me? If not, why not? Hope you continue to read to know Him. Think on His Word and His names. Amen. pj
