2 September Hope you are well mentally and physically. Read to know Him and then seek to follow Him. Make some goals about your life that are achievable and strive to be faithful to your GOD and Lord by The power of His Holy Spirit.Can He do all things through you and me? If not, why not? We have finished the book Job and benefited from his encounter with The LORD, Satan and "friends". Please don't forget what GOD declared about Job was true before the test/trial/trouble and was so in fact at the end of his life.Have you learned to trust the wisdom,judgment and mercy of our Heavenly Father? If He is no respecter of persons, and He is,what does He think of you and what plans does He have in mind to refine you so that you will come forth as pure gold and in the image of His Dear Son. We have this and heaven too. Now we begin the Book of Ecclesiastes which is written by a very rich Jew who refers to himself as a preacher, the son of David and King of Jerusalem. It will become evident that riches are not always the answer. We should learn where the true riches are and who gives them to us. This book will cause you to get your eyes off things.

Ecclesiastes 1:1-3:22 allows us to see events through the eyes of this wise and rich man. When we look on the horizontal everything is under the sun and we have a good opportunity to look at people and things and then we "can" get bitter. It is not bad to get wisdom, however without understanding of what you have learned is sorrow. Remember we all must give an account of all the things we have received from The LORD. Have you reached a "turning point" in your life? Watch how your concept of GOD is influenced by this book. Look at Hebrews 9:27 and consider your stewardship.

2nd Corinthians 6:1-13 causes us to consider why we do what we do and what is our motive. We can learn how to minister to others by these verses. There is a DAY coming when all things will be accomplished for the glory of GOD.

Psalm 46:1-11 One Day He,GOD,will be exalted in the earth.Selah.What are we doing today to make people aware of The LORD? What type of conversation do we practice?

Proverbs 22:15 We need not teach a child to be a sinner. We need to show,teach and model GOD before our children and even to correct them with wisdom and the rod. pj
