1 September Tuesday is here and we are not yet saved.This could be the day that our salvation will be finished and the next face we see will be that of our Saviour, The Lord Jesus Christ. Maranatha! We have been reading for eight months and we are 2/3 the way through of reading the 365 Bible to know Him. Don't quit or give up, but keep on day by day meeting with GOD in His Word, expecting the Holy Spirit to teach you all things and to guide you into wholly living for GOD for His glory and your joy to be full. There are several people in Victory Baptist who have been reading through their 365 Bible for more than 10 years. One said to me, It makes my day! Others have said, where would I be now if I had not read? Stay by the stuff.

Job 40:1-42:17 Buckle up and hang on for we are going to read about a personal experience that Job had with The LORD GOD Almighty, a stand to and answer oral exam before the entire world. Stewardship and accountability. This account must influence your concept of GOD. All of us need to consider that GOD is no respecter of persons and what He asked of Job may very well be asked of us. Would you start like Job and admit and confess and then cover your mouth? What snapshot of The LORD comes into your mind and heart?What is your concept of GOD? It is important what you think of GOD and also what you think about yourself when you compare the creation to The Creator. I find it interesting that the three friends of Job were dealt with, but Elihu was not mentioned. What a testimony to the Person and Power of GOD in dealing with His world and all of its inhabitants. Job lived well, died, being old and full of days. What is your goal in life and what will be on your tombstone? Selah.

2nd Corinthians 5:12-21 asks several questions? What constrains you and are you in Christ? The evidences of the new birth are described plainly. The ministry that every believer recieves is from GOD. The Lord never requires anything from us that we do not have. FACT! He does require accountability for everything He has given us. FACT! We are his workmanship. Be reconciled and be busy getting others reconciled.

Psalm45:1-17 Is there any thing that GOD does not know? Are there people that do not know GOD? What are doing about telling them? What does GOD love> What do you love?

Proverbs 22:14 Makes a strong contrast, what do men hate and what does that make them vulnerable to? Let us be mindful of our desires and devotion. Selah. Amen. pj
