August 2nd Sunday is here and we have a special treat, Church! Hope you are on time , read up, prayed up, ready to praise GOD and eager to be edified. Amen.

Proverbs 20:16-18 challenges us to be alert and considerate. I suggest you get godly counsel from friends, but please ask first if they are right with The LORD and able to enter into His presence with your petition.If not, take time to be right and then do right. Guard yourself. If some ask you for advice, apply the same test to yourself. Take time to be wholly Holy.

Psalm25:12-22 ask the question,"do you fear GOD"? How many promises have you applied to your life? Do you consider yourself teachable, touchable, leadable by GOD's Holy Spirit? If not, why not? Take v20 and ask the LORD to cause you to trust Him. Selah.

Romans 15:2-16:7 causes us to consider our responsibilities to GOD in prayer and to others in service. Did you pick up on any promises? Remember this letter was hand carried by Phebe two years before Paul arrived in Rome. Paul was not alone in his work and was quick to salute/recognize and applaud co-workers.What can we learn from this letter about treating others? Let us be considerate and respectful.

2nd Chronicles 32:1-33:13 demonstrates that in a national crisis, positive godly conduct based on GOD's truth will bring peace and joy. when in conflict, look up! The war by words can demoralize the troops, but strong leadership surrounded by prayer can sway the outcome. There was a saying like, bravery is fear covered by earnest prayers. It is unfortunate that blessings can be turned into curses when by our lack of appreciation,thanksgiving and humility. Pride and selfishness are sins against GOD and if they are not dealt with in remorse,repentance, confession and submission they will cause GOD to chastise.GOD will hear the prayers of any man for salvation. GOD expects His children to come to Him in humility,integrity and righteousness seeking fellowship on The LORD's terms. Read to know Him. Amen.
