July 28th Hot and muggy with a hint of showers this PM. It would be good to appreciate how well off we are here today.For the saved person, this is as near Hell as we will ever be! For the unsaved person, if they(you)stay in their sin(unbelief), this is as close to Heaven(redemption) as they will ever be. We need to be thankful of who we were and that we are now saved. We need to anticipate the Bible Truths that are going to come to pass and be very thankful.Praise The LORD. Amen.

Proverbs 20:7 is a great summary of what we have read today. As a father and grandfather it has caused me to spend time evaluating and praying about my personal integrity, conduct, obedience, awareness and preparation for OUR future for my family.It has also caused me to remember my father, who died in 1956, and spend some time thanking GOD for him and his father.We are blessed and we must be men of integrity. Consider the fathers we have read about today and their lack of integrity.

Psalm 22:1-18 Does this cause you to want to be pure, perfect, Holy, hated, bruised, despised, cursed and crucified so that your father's will would be done?Only Jesus is the perfect man of integrity. And we call ourselves Christians. How many traits of GOD are described in these verses that you have in yourself? We are to be like Him. Does the world consider us a just man? Does GOD think of us as just? Selah.

Romans 11:13-36 God made bold statements of promises to His people as recorded here in these verses.Paul made bold replies. How have you accomplished verse 13 in your life? As a child of The King, a son of GOD, a friend of Jesus Christ and a man of integrity how do you magnify "your office"? We have been grafted in and we ought to act like it! If we are the reason some men never hear the GOSPEL, how will we respond to The LORD when we are required to give an accounting of our stewardship of His Gift to us? Can you deny your office of that as an Ambassador? A minister of reconciliation? A stepping stone of the Gospel? A joint heir/co-laborer with GOD? We are the salt and the light left here to magnify and lift up Jesus as The Christ!

2nd Chronicles 21:1-23:21 Do you recall what we read on June 25th? It will get easier to think back on what you have read after reading through the 365 Bible several times. Look for the integrity factor in the lives of these kings. Kings affect nations and their lack of integrity impacts the people. Compare the conduct of our presidents and see how similar their conduct is to those being modeled in the Bible.What can/should we learn? There is only ONE man of integrity and His name is Jesus Christ The God man.The phrase"in the process of time" is used often and we can see that what GOD has said will come to pass(Heb 9:27).The sad account of the family of Jehoshaphat/Jehoram display the lack of integrity and character. How would you like to live in a family where your grandmother acted like Athaliah? If you enjoy the peace of/with GOD in your family, take time to be grateful and thankful. There is coming a day when we will shout "GOD save The King" and we will be happy and full of joy. Maranatha. One day there will be no more treason. Be right and do right. pj
