August 6th Thursday, hot, humid and dry. Do you remember in 2003 it was 109 here in Weatherford? Write down in your 365 some data like that and next year, if The Lord has not yet returned, and you are still being faithful in your reading every day to know Him, so that you may see "some" of what GOD has given to you.He is faithful! Today was special, a presentation to a Jr High football camp, visit the home for troops home site to help coordinate the master gardeners support for landscaping the Wolf home and three men for discipleship tonight. YEA!My hearts desire!

We discussed the Proverbs and Psalms from 5 Aug and determined it is best to wait on The LORD, but it is hard to do in the flesh. We admitted that the natural man is not always easy to control,except when we submit to GOD our will. When we see Psalm 28:1-9 and see it requires us to cry unto The LORD, well when was the last time you cried unto The LORD? We do foolishly when we try to operate in our own strength.

1st Corinthians 2:6-3:4 There is a similar thought in this book concerning operating in the flesh, carnal verses Holy Spirit. As a saved person we have the gift of The Holy Spirit(v12)and not only are we different than the unsaved man, BUT we ought to act like we are saved and Christ like.We need to read to know Him daily, study regularly, meditate and pray without ceasing and GROW in Grace and Knowledge. Amen.

Ezra 3:1-4:24 continues the struggle of rebuilding the house of The LORD. We ought to learn to be careful who we "co-operate" with in our work for and pursuit of GOD.We do not want to think ourselves better than others, but different and that will cause us to not become unequally yoked. Watch that pride does not overcome our humility.What convictions do you have in the matter of holiness, separation, obedience and dedication to GOD?We are never alone when we are alone with GOD! Please, seek to see the hand, mind and heart of GOD and don't concentrate on the circumstances. It is not the cup, but what is in the cup. Who gets the honor, the building or the builder?Stop being carnal, but be filled with The Holy Spirit.Amen.pj
