October 15 mid month and we are still here.We are grateful for the rain and are confident that it is for our good.How much water did GOD create in the beginning? In your opinion has GOD lost a drop since ALL of the water was created?What does that tell you about The LORD? Do you really believe that GOD knows everything? That He keeps records of every word, thought, intent and deed we have done and will do after our salvation?How does this affect your respect and fear of The LORD? Selah.

Jeremiah 26:1-27:22 Jeremiah was influential in Judah under King Josiah, Jehoahaz, Jehoiachin and Zedekiah. The commandments and instructions given to the Jews were plain and specific. The general theme of the book deals with the judgement of GOD towards the Jews in Jerusalem and their sin/sins.GOD is not a respecter of persons and He expects His people to hear and obey. GOD's promises are always true and the Jews as well as you and I misunderstand His mercy and long suffering for tolerance of our inattention to Him. The LORD is a jealous GOD and we ought to fear Him.It is each person's responsibility to know Truth and to obey.We can not blame our lack of knowledge on the pastors. We have the full,complete,revealed an inerrant Word of GOD.

2nd Thessalonians 3:1-18 teaches us to appreciate our teachers and pastors, yet reminds us that we have The Word of GOD and we have the BEST teacher, The Holy Spirit.We have the opportunity to learn and know the mind of GOD and are equipped to deal with people.I find a truth in v12 in that busy and tired people serving The LORD don't get involved in gossip. We know how to make friends and how to avoid those who are contrary to truth, then we stay away from trouble. Judge righteously.

Psalm 85:1-13 allows us to know the way to act and v9 should be a benchmark for our conversation. If we want revival then we should seek direction from GOD. If we say we are in revival then we will have joy.There is a beautiful picture of The Lord Jesus Christ written in v10. Read to know Him. Amen

Proverbs 25:16 warns us about too much sweets. It is not wrong to eat honey, but don't be a glutton.We are GOD's representative in our area of influence. Act right.pj
