August 28 Friday and Sunday is coming.Are you planning ahead? Get rid of all the obstacles before Saturday night so that you are ready for Sunday. We are having a good time in Longview watching how The LORD is blessing our children and grandchildren in their every day busy schedules. It has been a long time since we had to try to get four people up and out going four different directions at the same time doing different things in different cars in harmony. Being a parent is hard work. Being a grandparent is much easier, we get to watch and sip our coffee.

Job 28:1-30:31 How many snapshots of GOD have you taken since reading Job? Have we learned yet that GOD is the only true source of wisdom? Are we willing to forsake every thing for GOD's wisdom? If not,why not? Look at v28:28 on the 28th and learn truth. Yet we are reminded to apply truth, be right and then do right. The LORD is concerned about our conversation in the world and perhaps it would be a good thing to try and remind GOD of how well we have done by His grace. Let us be careful when we brag on our conduct,lest we make too much of ourselves and too little of GOD. When you read make notes on other scriptures that correspond to you reading, for example Psalm 40 and v30:19 also Romans 7 and verses30:26-31. Read to know Him.

2nd Corinthians 2:9-17 speaks in the matters of agreement and cooperation between believers in the church.Let us pray and watch over for one another.We may live in victory in this world, we can stay clean in this dirty place and we can be a good testimony in a bad circumstance through Christ. Be a wounded helper for the helpless.

Psalm 42:1-11 Who and what do you hope in? When you are in doubt, what do you say? Has there ever been a time when GOD's loving kindness was not present? When you sense absolute defeat, to whom do you cry out to? Read to know Him and hide His word in your heart so that if or when bad times come,trust His Word, hand and heart.Amen.

Proverbs 22:7 Learn this truth and strive to live debt free. Purpose to owe only The LORD, live in His prosperity and walk in His liberty. Owe no man. Selah. Amen. pj
