August 23rd This is a much better day than yesterday. There is food,any choice of drinks and no imposed restrictions by any medical technician. I still think I am healthy and wait for the opportunity for the professionals to read all the films and agree with me. Yea! I am a believer. If some serious misfortune hit you today, what type of friends do you want to visit and comfort you? Read to know Him and believe that He is watching over you regardless of your circumstances. He loves you!!!

Psalm 37:29-40 proves to us that GOD's Truth is applicable then, now and for all tomorrows.His promises are real and sure, yet there are conditions. We can look back and see their application to all men, from Adam, Moses, Solomon, Job and you and me.We should learn to trust GOD and rest in His arms. Selah.

PROVERBS 21:27 ASSURES US THAT THE LORD PAYS ATTENTION TO THE WAY OF THE SAVED AND THE WAY OF THE UNBELIEVERS. For additional encouragement look at Psalm 1. Selah.

1st Corinthians 14:18-40 We must remember that the vessel must be clean to be used by GOD and what He puts in the vessel is more important that the vessel. We must strive to honor The LORD by our conversation/life style.It is best that the husband teach the wife and the children the Bible. It is a shame for a believer(husband and or father) to neglect his responsibility to know GOD and His Truths and give that over to another man(pastor, teacher, youth minister) to teach his own family. We come together as believers in the SS and Church to be edified. We go out to minister. We, as men, are to love our wife a Jesus loved the Church, and to teach her all we know about The LORD and His Word. Older men ought to teach younger men. We are His disciples. We have all The Truth, all of The Holy Spirit and every opportunity to read to know Him. Now let all things be done decently and in order.

Job 4:1-7:21 May I suggest you color code the verses with each speakers. This helps me to separate who is speaking and to evaluate the application.We have overheard the heavenly exchanges between GOD and Satan, now we get to listen to the horizontal exchange between men who are referred to as friends. Try to maintain the picture of where Job is and his physical condition and then what self imposed ritual his friends went through before they spake to him.We we visit a person in distress, we need to be good patient hearers of their complaint.When we speak(judge) we need to be careful in relating circumstances to sin. Not all sickness/distress is caused directly by that person's activity.We need to hear what GOD is doing and look for His involvement in this dire set of circumstances. We have the benefit of knowing the heavenly conversation, Job and his friends did not have this knowledge.Pay attention to how these men refer to GOD.How does this reading affect your concept of GOD?Look at v7:17,18 and determine it's application in your life.Scars may be the evidence of sins forgiven or they may be from accidents and misfortunes. We are not ignorant. pj ** Get ready for tomorrow today, read up and be on time.
