December 1 The evidence of winter is coming and there may be snow on the road before dark. Be prepared and drive safe. Please consider sending me an E-mail about your opinion of influence this has had on your concept of reading your Bible. I look forward to starting over again in January reading and sharing. Hope you plan to continue to read from now to eternity.

Daniel 8:1-27 allows us the opportunity to see in to the heart of Daniel and The LORD as they observe how the people are responding to captivity and waiting for deliverance.Babylon was not their home.This world is not our home.We have the promise as sure as did the Jews-One Day!We are linked into the palace in Shushan, do you remember where Ester was living?GOD favored Daniel with this vision of the future.The animals and horns represent nations and kings who are in bent on domination and destruction of GOD's children.Two conflicting goals, the time of the Gentiles and the Kingdom of GOD.The epicenter of all conflict is Jerusalem.Then-now!

1st John 2:1-17 again the proposition of holy living ought to follow conversion and salvation.GOD looks for evidence. There are works because of salvation, not to win nor keep salvation.We are forgiven and we should act like it is so, but we are faced with choices and we must choose wisely.How/what is your heart's desire?

Psalm 120:1-7 We are in this world, but we seek another home not made with hands.When in distress who do you call upon first? Seek the True-Only Deliverer.

Proverbs 28:25-26 Without wanting to be rude I ask, are you considered by GOD to be fat and wise?Selah. Watch out for pride and self-justification. We belong to GOD. pj
November 30 Monday and we are still here. There are clouds and this could be the day. Are you prepared to meet The Lord in the air?There are only two answers, yea or nay.What will you say to GOD when He ask"Why should I let you into heaven"? Today,this side of the Rapture/death, is the place and time to know the only correct answer. There will be NO second chances then and there. If you are saved and sure, take time to remind your Saviour for His favor and Salvation. Tell others what He has done for you. Be prepared to give your testimony.Love others as you love Him.

Daniel 7:1-28 We have seen the vision of the king now we get to hear the dream of Daniel. We will be able to see the similarity of these dreams and visions and The Holy Spirit will teach us to trust in GOD and believe that He will provide for His children and accomplish His will in this world.The times of the Gentiles will end when The Lord comes in His Revelation to start the 1000 year reign in Jerusalem.Note the name of GOD as the Ancient of days.How does this impact your concept of GOD?Read v28 and take heart that there may be some things that we will not fully understand.

1st John 1:1-10 links to Genesis 1, in the beginning.Take time to read,touch,see,hear, sense,believe these verses.Learn to practice what is being taught. Put your faith into action and confess your sins. We are in GOD or we are not.Where are you?

Psalm 119:156-176 concludes this psalm of doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness. Are you better off because you have read this letter? Let v165 serve as a benchmark for your conservation. Be right and do right. Selah.

Proverbs 28:23-24 Beware of being contrary to GOD and the truth.We may/should apply Psalm verse165 to this statement and try to be more in tune with GOD.Selah. pj
November 29 YEA! We get to share truth,pray,sing and enjoy The LORD together.

Daniel 6:1-28 we get to see how GOD uses men to influence men/kings/beggars for the glory of GOD.It is amazing how important some men of GOD are/can be and still they can retain their integrity and have a positive role model effect on others.Do you recall the few men mentioned by Jesus, Daniel,Job and Noah?What do they have in common, a gift/favor of GOD, that you do not have?Here we see the law of the land must be obeyed, except when it is in conflict with The Law of GOD.How much do you fear GOD?What habit of worship do you have that is hated by unbelievers?Is what you believe worth dying for today?How do we trust The LORD?When/if we face some great test will we trust GOD? Let us pray that when/if we are tried we will believe GOD is in control, we will be/get right and then do right so that all things will be for His glory. Are you happy in the LORD?

2nd Peter 3:1-18 We have been warned and now we have Peter's final charge, grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen. Beware!

Psalm 119:132-155 note the difference of v119 and the others.What is missing is reported in v155.Read to know Him and be diligent in your prayers and study. Selah.

Proverbs 28:21-22 We are cautioned about greed and selfishness.Pay attention to your hearts desires.Having things is not the issue.Who is in charge-old or NEW nature? pj
November 28 Saturday, a great time to get ready for Sunday. Hopefully you will be read/prayed up and ready to be a blessing.Pray for your classmates, teachers and pastor.We need to be diligent and prudent. We are co-laborers with Jesus Christ.

Daniel 5:1-31 allows us to read in awe the amazing work of GOD.Do you recognize the hand? GOD The father is a SPIRIT!The Trinity is at work and hopefully all men would tremble when they see Him at work.The wage of sin is death.GOD is in charge and all men are stewards and will give an account of the gifts given to them by The LORD.Daniel has been in captivity for more than 40 years and GOD will use him to influence the next king. Pray to be a useful vessel.

2nd Peter 2:1-22 how do you verify what you hear the preacher has said?What we learn from The Bible at home while being taught by The Holy Spirit should be what we hear in church,we are to edified for the work of the ministry.Do you have the capacity to know truth and are you able to discern an untruth?Protect yourself-family-others.

Psalm 119:113-131 Make a list of those things you hate.Make a list of those things you love.Compare your list with those of GOD.Verses 127-130 are my best guides.

Proverbs 28:19-20 Stewardship is always important. Would you rather be rich or faithful in the eyes of GOD?We get to choose our lifestyle. Be/do right or not. pj
November 27 Hope you are still enjoying left overs, especially the pies.We have been and are blessed.Let us continue to be be grateful for our provisions and protection that The LORD has blessed us with today. We have GOD's mercy fresh and new every day.

Daniel 4:1-37 Oh that all national leaders would acknowledge that GOD is The LORD.The dreams and visions reported in Daniel are given that all men might repent to GOD and have faith in The Lord Jesus.We ought to be thankful that GOD does not reveal His will to us today by dreams and visions,we have His Will in the Holy Bible.We need to focus on GOD and learn of Him by His attributed and traits as per the written Word of GOD.All of these OT Books were written for the NT Saints as examples and reminders that they as well as you and I might learn of GOD.

2nd Peter 1:1-21 Is a letter to the Jewish believer warning them about the enemy within the church. The problems that were exposed in Jerusalem were being exposed in the early days of the church. There were enemies on the outside and there were enemies within the walls. We have the same type of circumstances today. We need to apply the counsel as given in v5-giving diligence. Believe the Bible.

Psalm 119:96-112 continue to look for "law,word,judgments,testimonies,statues, commandments,precepts,sayings and way". Is verse 102 true in your life and have you committed to perform v112? If not,why not? Selah.

Proverbs 28:17-18 shows the options available to all men.Are you walking uprightly?pj
November 26 Happy day of thanksgiving to all.Hope all your blessings are appreciated and that we all pause and be grateful for ALL we have at the hand of GOD.We are blessed and favored and besides this, those that are saved,have in the future heaven and eternity with GOD.Let us share truth with all men. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Daniel 2:24-3:30 shows us that putting others first is best.What is good about "good news" if it is toooooo late?We should learn a principal about compassion for the lost. We have the Gospel and we should share.We need to be careful when trying to read this portion of scripture and to not forget GOD.We read to know Him.We ought to pray that all of our conversations would bring attention to GOD and that He would get glory by our lifestyle.We will always have enemies and we will have many opportunities to suffer for Jesus, let us seek to be humble and led of The Holy Spirit to speak right words during trials and tests.Let us look for GOD and be thankful for His presence. God will use people who will be used.

1st Peter 4:7-5:14 warnings should be heeded and care taken to be right and do right.Church leadership and submission is always being observed by GOD and each member must give an account for their conduct. We must serve each other and be careful to fight the enemy and not each other.To Him be glory!

Psalm 119:81-95 causes us to wonder how much do we need GOD?How much do you wait for GOD to be or do first?Where do you put your hope? Verse 90 is the first verse so far that does not reference the word of GOD. Have you noted the nine key words in 119? pj
November 25 Are you getting all things in order for the big turkey day?Hope you get to enjoy your blessings and your family.Be careful as you travel, pray w/o ceasing.

Daniel 1:1-2:23 is a gift to us from GOD as He shows Himself that all might know Him and worship Him. GOD is not limited by tragedy,time,captivity,separation nor unbelief.Daniel will demonstrate to all of us that faith is essential to joy.Obedience is not separated from love and GOD knows all men's heart.We need to watch how The LORD intervenes in the lives of the Hebrew children, learn the principal that GOD never loses anything or anyone anywhere.Pay attention to your circumstances and look for how The LORD will provide a means of provisions/favors.

1st Peter 3:10-4:6 cause us to ask"have I sanctified The Lord God in my heart"? If not,why not?Read this instruction and update your lifestyle to reflect Christ.

Psalm 119:71-80 Do you agree with verse 71?In your time of turmoil what statue of GOD did you learn?All of us need to check our "fear factor" of GOD lest we have become so familiar with Him that we assume all is OK.Is your heart sound? Selah.

Proverbs 28:14 Are you happy? If not,why not? Each of us MUST be careful to not let our heart get hardened,by sin and indifference. Put GOD FIRST! Amen. Selah. pj
November 24 Is a good day to be a Tuesday. Hope you are current in all your appointments and looking forward to a good time of refreshment with your family. Be prepared to share your blessings with friends and enjoy The LORD's favor on your life.

Ezekiel 47:1-18:35 provides for us a picture of the hope that all people of GOD have,a future with GOD in heaven. Let us be careful to not assume our blessings. Let us be prompt to give our Lord the credit for securing our future with The LORD.One Day there will be a peace in Jerusalem and all tribes of Abraham will see the Messiah, for The LORD is there.*Strive to connect Jeremiah with Ezekiel and Daniel.

1st Peter 2:11-3:9 stresses godly conduct after salvation, Holy living follows conversion.There will always be enemies of the church that are outside and they look for opportunities to slander our GOD as they mock our conduct. We ought to be united in our demonstration of our faith as we show compassion to the unbelievers.

Psalm 119:53-70 be careful to look for GOD's instruction and leadership.Our holy conversation/life style ought to reflect our Lord's beauty and grace.Be/do right.

Proverbs 28:12-13 cautions us to be careful in our conduct lest it block the blessings/mercy of the LORD.Seek to be led of The Holy Spirit-agree with GOD.Amen.pj

Monday, November 23, 2009

November 23 Monday and a great day to celebrate all we have in Christ.There are clouds in the sky.This could be the day.What are you expecting GOD to do today that is unbelievable/understandable right now?We are accepted in the Beloved!We have been given the power to become sons of GOD!We are sanctified,justified,forgiven, holy and on our way to heaven.Who have you told about your salvation and asked them to go with you to meet The Lord in the air?We get to share eternity with GOD! YEA! Amen!

Ezekiel 45:13-46:24 allows us to know GOD and His plan for eternity.All of the requirements pictured by the offerings, all of the cost and expense,all of the preparation for sacrifices, all of the expression of reverence in the times past are a picture of ONE person, The Lord Jesus Christ.Let us read to appreciate what He has done for us in Himself.Let us be grateful for GOD's provision.Read to know/see Him.

1st Peter 1:14-2:10 All of the Jewish believers in all of the churches are reminded to be faithful to the Gospel given to them.Act right! Learn and grow as sons of GOD.Remember who you are in Christ.We need to practice these truths today. Dwell on what The LORD has done for you and be thankful.If you are right with GOD,act like it.

Psalm119:36-52 Have you found those key words? How many times will the word "testimonies" be used in Psalm 119?Have you agreed with the psalmist and made vows unto The LORD?Has your lifestyle changed because of what you have read?

Proverbs 28:11 Do you seek to have understanding? If not,why not?Be like Christ. pj
November 22 Sunday is here and we get to meet our brothers-in-Christ at SS and church to praise, learn and be edified.What a great day to celebrate the birth of our "grand daughter" Audrey who is 5.Happy birthday to all whose birth month is November. There are some very sick people we need to pray for and intercede in their behalf with Jesus as He prays for them.Let our lifestyle and daily conversation be GOD honoring so that lost people will see Jesus Christ in us for GOD's glory.

Ezekiel 44:1-45:12 We have an opportunity to see the reverence afforded to The prince who is shown to be the same as The LORD the God of Israel. The emphasis in all of these activities is to show the grand effort GOD goes to to restore His people to Himself in restoration-salvation-repentance to GOD and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ-The Messiah.We get to learn what please GOD and what offends The LORD.The LORD uses His prophets to show His children how to act and what fathers should teach their children. We need to learn GOD,learn His ways and know His word.

1st Peter 1:1-13 reminds us of the power of GOD through faith unto salvation.We see the Trinity and tri-unity of GOD.Peter is reminding all the churches to remember what they were taught and to be true to GOD.All believers are urged to seek to know GOD diligently.We are all warned to be alert to our enemy and to focus on GOD.

Psalm 119:17-35 This is the 2nd day reading of 16 verses of Psalm 119. Each day we will read 16 verses and we are taught what GOD considers His WORD to provide to each believer. Record these key/common words and incorporate them into your prayers.

Proverbs 28:8-10 tells us that our conduct makes a difference. We are stewards of GOD's Truth and He expects our lifestyle to be like that of Christ. Selah. Amen. pj

Friday, November 20, 2009

November 21 Saturday is a big day for some people.Tonight some will be in the hospital, some in the jail, some in the morgue and some in the prayer room.We all have the opportunity to prepare for tomorrow, some will and some will put it off because trivia has their mind and eternity is for everyone else.Sunday is coming and our preparation for eternity, or lack there of, will not stop time. Be prepared! If you don't know where you will spend eternity, PLEASE allow me or someone to take The Bible and show you many Scriptures that will show you GOD's plan of redemption.Please

Ezekiel 41:1-43:27 we need to read to know GOD and seek to be taught by The Holy Spirit how to understand these sayings.The LORD is going to have the temple rebuilt during the Old Testament time as recorded by Ezra and Nehemiah. One Day GOD will rule all of Israel combined in Jerusalem called the 1000yr reign. Focus on GOD.

James 5:1-20 Begins the instruction for the Jewish believers to demonstrate their faith by their works. The LORD is causing all of to learn the lesson that holy living ought to follow conversion.Honor and humility mixed with honesty will cause others to see Christ in you. Be right and THEN do right.

Psalm 119:1-16 **Note the words/verses that The LORD used to describe His Word. Look for the attributes of GOD and note His promises.Don't miss His commandments.Selah.

Proverbs 28:6-7 Are you walking in your uprightness or are you perverse?Are you keeping the Law or hanging around the riotous crowd?Is your earthly father and your heavenly Father/GOD proud of you?Let us seek to be prudent and to honor GOD. Amen. pj

Thursday, November 19, 2009

November 20 Friday and Sunday is coming.Are you getting excited about SS and church?Hopefully today will be the DAY that Jesus comes in the clouds and calls His childen out to meet Him in the air. Are you ready? Yea, even so, come quickly,Lord Jesus.

Psalm 118:19-29 expresses our hearts desire"Open to me the gates of righteousness:I will go into them".Read and bless the LORD for all His deeds for our behalf.Give thanks and shout out your love to Him for His love for you. Selah.

James 4:1-17 causes us to ask "Who can pray?" GOD wants His children to know Him and to act like His children. We are not ignorant to Satan's devices. We have been warned and advised by GOD on how to respond to Him and how to treat others.Please use v17 as your personal code of conduct>>to him it is sin,that knoweth to do good.

Ezekiel 40:28-41:26 The LORD explains in detail the future design of the temple in Jerusalem. What do you learn about GOD because of all this detail?This vision is an encouragement for all the Jews in Babylon.How does this encourage you?

Proverbs 28:3-5 all people are significant and important to The LORD.Every person, rich or poor will be required to give an account of all his deeds, we are stewards.pj

Proverbs 28:3-5
November 19 Thursday and we are still here.Did you see any clouds in the sky today?Did you even take time look to see if there were any clouds? If not,why not? Please take The LORD seriously and carefully read His Word and diligently seek Him.

Proverbs 28:2 sets the tone for the day.Does GOD and other men consider you "a man of understanding and knowledge"?What do you desire to be today?

Psalm 118:1-18 offers many good statements that will increase your faith when believed.When we consider the attributes of GOD we ought to praise Him and give thanks.How many times have you said v5-7 made a difference in your life?Do you believe v17-18 and how have you responded to GOD because of His promises? Selah.

James 2:18-3:18 Does GOD consider you as His friend?What evidence did you show off today that caused others to think of you as godly and righteous?What steps have you taken to protect yourself from the sin of the tongue or have you yet confessed any sin that you have spoken out of turn?Consider v17-18 to be a goal for your life; for we are to worship GOD in Spirit and Truth. Let us live in the peace of GOD.

Ezekiel 39:1-40:27 Please be careful to look for GOD as you read and don't get lost in the drama of this prophecy.One Day GOD will do what He is promising. One Day GOD will have all believers in Jerusalem. Can you/did you compare your salvation experience as you read today? What miracles have happened to you because of your salvation?Stewardship will require all men and nations to give an account, both saved and unrepentant unbelievers.I can't imagine how many people will be killed at this battle that will take seven months to bury.How does this prophecy affect your concept of GOD?Note His attributes and read His promises, He does not lie. One Day this will happen, but you and I will be sitting in heaven and praising GOD.Because GOD describes so much in minute detail,what do you learn about GOD?Get to know Him.pj
November 18 is a good day to be in church. I wonder what will happen to us if all of the hate crime attitude gains more power and we do not speak up about right and wrong?We are in this world to be the light and the salt! Why does the USA appear to be floundering in the dark?We are stewards of GOD's Truth and we must be as watchmen.

Ezekiel 37:1-38:23 When you read about this encounter with GOD, what do you wish for? What attribute of The LORD is most dominant? Do you read and find yourself pausing and asking GOD to forgive you of sins?What kind of pictures come to your mind when GOD begins to speak about what He is going to do for or against these people?Do you see the picture of SALVATION being presented here today?One Day GOD will have all of the tribes united in one place and He will be Their GOD!Jerusalem is the epicenter of the world. Now let v38:23 comfort you, read to know Him.

James 1:19-2:17 reminds all believers to be right and then do right.Works ought to be a display of your faith.We work BECAUSE we are saved not to get saved.GOD has put EVERY believer in the ministry of reconciliation.Our conduct among other believers and in the church should be like the conduct of our Lord Jesus Christ.We may be the only Bible some will read.Live in faith and act like you believe GOD.

Psalm 117:1-2 How many different attributes do you see in these verses?Read to know Him and then praise GOD for He is worthy!How long is "for ever"? GOD is for ever God.

Proverbs 28:1 tells us how we ought to act and represent The LORD. Selah. Amen. pj

Tuesday, November 17, 2009

17 November Tuesday a cold and windy for a funeral. Are you prepared to be laid to rest? Do you have a will prepared that has your personal salvation experience included? It is not morbid to plan for this event, besides it will assist the survivors it dealing with the loss of their love one.If you would like for me to conduct your funeral, let me know so that we can prepare to express your last wishes and share your life's story and testimony, even you can preselect your music, pall bearers and final arrangements.Plan ahead for eternity.It makes conducting a funeral so much easier when we know the deceased relationship and fellowship status with GOD.

Ezekiel 35:1-36:38 declares GOD's attitude about sin against Himself by people and nations that abuse His children.I realize that The LORD does not hold a grudge, however because He sometimes allows time space and distance between the offense and the punishment or chastisement via His mercy and longsuffering, I have a tendency to misunderstand His conduct.I'm at error. Esau/Edom/Idumea/mount Seir have treated Israel badly on many occasions and now we get to see how GOD will demonstrate His will against them for their offense against GOD's children. How does this impact your concept of GOD?The LORD declares His plans for the 1000 year reign where and when the Jews will be gathered to GOD and settled in the promise land.One Day!Look at v36:33-38 as the sure future for the Jews. Do you know where you will be on that day? If not, why not?GOD has a plan for each of us and He wants all to know His will.

James 1:1-18 records the impact of Faith in daily living.Be careful to not misunderstand this book and think that people are saved by works. James stresses the evidence of your faith is works, or saved people will have works that bring honor to GOD if they are saved. Spend some time after you read by reviewing v2-4 to consider how much information is packaged in these verses.James will cause us to look at our walk with The LORD because we have said that we have been saved by The LORD.Watch for the LSD described today and consider what will it take for any man to "be drawn away". The sin is not of being tempted, but of being drawn away. We must be alert.

Psalm 116:1-19 hopefully describes our attitude towards GOD for His salvation. How do you honor and show reverence to the names of GOD? Selah. Amen.

Proverbs 27:23-27 warns us to be diligent about our business for our Saviour. We will give an account of our stewardship. pj What does JEHOVAH Jireh mean to you?

Monday, November 16, 2009

16 November and it is really Monday. I'm not sure,but catching up on posting, I got days and dates out of place.Monday and a time to reflect on who we are in Christ. In past weeks I've mentioned about 30 things that all saved children as sons of GOD should be sure of and confident in Christ's finished work.Be sure to incorporate some of these in your testimony and start with the date of your salvation,when you were changed,rescued,redeemed,adopted,empowered to become a son of GOD,accepted in the Beloved and no longer under the wrath of GOD, but have now received the gift of Eternal Life.Let your testimony glorify GOD and honor Jesus as your Saviour.

Ezekiel 33:1-34:31 records the tragic day of the fall of Jerusalem in v21.Let us learn the lesson about the wage of sin and accept our responsibility to be as a watchman to our area of influence. Hopefully these reports will cause all of us to be motivated to witness.There are no valid excuses for disobedience and unbelief.We must be concerned for those in key leadership positions both in the church and in the government and be diligent to pray for them daily.Stewardship applies to all.One Day The Lord will be on the earth and the Jews in Jerusalem in near perfect circumstances while we are in the New Jerusalem. We all have a lot to hope for today.

Hebrews 13:1-25 completes the letter to the Hebrews who were being confused about faith,works and salvation. Jesus is declared "BEST"!JE-HO-VA as Jesus the same yesterday,and to day, and for ever.WE need to respect our leaders, trust in The LORD, let our conduct be GOD honoring and pray for others.Let us strive to be perfect(as in Christ) in all of our doings.Be right/do right, praise GOD and act like Jesus.

Psalm 115:1-18 Let us pray that we not take any of GOD's glory for ourselves.Praise GOD! Let us flee from any and All idols.He will bless us that fear Him. Selah.

Proverbs 27:21-22 All things will be purified by fire.All things will be crushed. One day all truth will be revealed.Right will be blessed and evil condemned.Amen. pj
15 November Sunday a day to catch up and prepare for the future. Take time to reflect on your past and your future. Where were you last year? Where will you be this time next year? Are you ready for eternity?Have you made provisions for today,tomorrow and beyond?If not,why not? Consider this a wake up call or a near death experience, to the point that you would ask yourself this harsh question"If GOD were to ask me why should I let you into Heaven-what/how would you answer HIM?" Take time to ponder now, because at heaven's door it will be tooooo late if you don't know the answer now.What if The LORD wanted to know from you the particulars of your salvation,i.e.when,where,why,what and who."I'm not sure" is not a good way to start your defense appeal.Knowledge and humility will help as you respond to GOD.

Ezekiel 31:1-32:32 all these years in captivity and the visions keep on coming.Jerusalem is about to be destroyed.GOD has declared Himself against the Assyrian and Pharaoh and destruction is coming.We must hear and see how The LORD deals with unbelievers and rebellious nations.In just a few minuets we read about history that took a year to be accomplished. To The LORD time is not important and He is not limited to time,space nor armies.We get to see and make many "snap shots" of GOD in action, hopefully these will influence our concept of GOD positively.

Hebrews 12:14-29 describes holy living.How do you sense and respond to The GOD of The Holy Bible?Let us grow in confidence that what The LORD promises He will perform.Seek The LORD, enjoy His mercy and walk in His grace. Amen.

Psalm 113:1-9;114:1-8Is there any thing too hard for our GOD?Praise Him! Let v2-9 be some of the reasons you and I praise GOD.GOD is Almighty and we should both fear and draw near to The LORD.Admire His creation and adore HIM for being true and just.

Proverbs 27:18-20 requires us to ponder these words.Stewardship principals apply to these verses and looking into scriptures ought to makes us respect GOD. Selah. pj
It appears and I confess that I almost missed a day of the week, forgive me please.
14 November is the day to get ready for Sunday.We get to have our play golf time, cut the grass time and then time to prepare for Sunday.Hope to see you in SS class and church.It would be GOD honoring if all of our classmates were on-time, read/prayed up and ready to bless and be blessed, and I would be surprised. I could honestly say that it would be an answer to prayer.What/who are you praying for?

Ezekiel 29:1-30:26 GOD is careful in His provisions and jealous over His creation.As we read about the rebellion of the creation,hopefully we would stop and pray that we do not repeat the same type sin in our lives today.There is always a consequence to sin!GOD's ways are far above our ways and we,The USA,will suffer if we do not learn from the history as it is recorded concerning Egypt.There is ONLY One True GOD.

Hebrews 11:32-12:13 Have we obtained a good report that we have lived by faith?All men,individually, will give an account to GOD.In this world we will be strengthened by GOD to be prosperous.Let us submit ourselves to The LORD and trust Him. Amen

Psalm 112:1-10 Are you blessed? Do you see and believe His promises?Is your heart fixed and established on GOD and Him alone? Satan is our enemy, but GOD is our King.

Proverbs 27:17 How do your friends treat you? Are you made "better" because of your friends? Who do you consider your "BEST" friend?Consider Jesus,a friend to sinners.pj
13 November is not a bad day even though it is a Friday. Where would you be if you did not know The Lord Jesus as Saviour? If you are not saved then all your days are bad days,however Friday`13 November 2009 could be your absolute very Best day of your life if you get saved.Salvation begins our eternal life.Thank You GOD!!

Ezekiel 27:1-28:26 records how GOD feels about pride and rebellion. We learn how similar these are in us today, and that these are traits, anti-Christ, that are described in Satan.Tyre was a great city and had much activity, yet contrary to GOD and was destroyed.GOD hates sin! GOD loves sinners and wants all men to repent to GOD and have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.Sidon/Zidon was against GOD and suffered loss. What will it take to teach all men that GOD's Way is the only way? One Day!

Hebrews 11:17-31 continues to tell of those who believed GOD.Faith is belief in action and deed.We cannot separate obedience from faith and love.How can two walk together except they be agreed? Hear,believe,receive and demonstrate in obedience.

Psalm 111:1-10 We get to praise GOD. We get to see His handiwork and then we get to say thank you and Amen.Live like it is so as recorded in v10"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom:" Do you have good understanding? If not, why not? Selah.

Proverbs 27:15-16 We need to act right and be grateful. We all must work at making our homes a place of quite and peace AND without contentions.Be right/do right. pj
12 November is a good day to start the year with in absolute obedience to truth.

Ezekiel 24:1-26:21 Please take time to date and mark your daily reading.GOD went to much trouble to remind His prophet to keep a journal, even though the events in Jerusalem were different than those in Babylon.GOD is not bound nor limited by time or location.We need to learn of His attributes and observe His conduct so that we may be better representatives of His salvation.We need to read to know that when GOD said"I will do it", He will do it.This must impact our concept of GOD.We live in a different circumstance today, but GOD stills requires of us to as a sign to the lost and rebellious people.We must appreciate the significance of "One Day" GOD will make all things right, because today is our day to share the good news, GOD is coming!

Hebrews 11:1-16 records the impact of hearing and believing GOD. Is your name written down in the Book of Life as a believer?Can it be said of us"he pleased GOD."

Psalm 110:1-7 allows us to see GOD!GOD is the King!Jesus is Lord and High Priest!

Proverbs 27:14 Who are you blessing today? Direct your attention to The LORD. pj
11 November Veteran's Day, my mother's birthday and a spiritual birthday for some of our friends. Are you a veteran? Are you a child of The King?Only one of these questions will be important in 100 years.All men can answer "yes" to both of these questions.Are you saved? Tell someone about your new birth as you serve in the Army of The Lord Jesus Christ and be careful of your conduct. We represent GOD.

Ezekiel 23:1-49 The LORD is concerned about how His children act.Let us be careful in all of our dealings with the opposite sex in public and in private.Let us be mindful of our vow to our LORD and Saviour as we are to our mate.Let us focus on Who GOD is and how He operates so that we do not offend Him nor misrepresent Him.

Hebrew 10:18-39 Hear,read,see,believe,receive the Word and be saved, then act like it is so.Church time and participation is biblical.We are His children and He is our Heavenly Father and He wants us to know and obey His Truths.

Psalm 109:1-31 calls for all to call upon GOD to save them.How do you pray for deliverance?If you are now down and out, where is GOD?Believe v31 and rest in Him. pj
10 November Read to know Him is always the proper motivation regardless of the day or time. Let us be diligent in pursuing The LORD.

Ezekiel 21:1-22:31 reminds us of the consistent pursuit by GOD for His people. Count the number of times you have read"and the word of the LORD came unto to me, saying".What do you learn about GOD because of His conduct?Remember to focus on GOD and not the spokesman.Gain a fresh prospective of The LORD's Holiness and let this influence your concept of GOD.When all things appear to be out of control, focus on GOD.Stewardship is the way for us to learn about our GOD. We reap what we sow.

Hebrews 10:1-17 tells us again of the value of the blood of The Lord Jesus as compared to that of animals.Seek The Lord as you read to know Him.Believe His words!

Psalm 108:1-13 Is your heart fixed?If so, take v13 as a mandate for service.Selah. pj

Monday, November 9, 2009

9 November Monday is a good day to remember all the great and good things GOD has done for us,yesterday,today and will do tomorrow.Make a list of what you have because of your salvation experience. Focus on what The LORD has done through The Lord Jesus Christ and not on "your" experience. Can you say "I am accepted in the beloved"? Please pray we me about David Tumlin, our daughter-in-law's father, and his sickness.There are many who are facing medical treatment,extended illness and heart ache.Seek to pray in agreement with The Lord Jesus Christ to The Father about all matters.Have you considered how GOD was praying for the children in Jerusalem during the time of Ezekiel and Daniel? Have you considered how Jesus is praying for you and me NOW?Let us seek to pray in agreement with The Lord for His creation.

Ezekiel 20:1-49 Stewardship is becoming more demanding. We, like those in Jerusalem, will be required to give an account of ALL of GOD's gifts and blessings and how we caused The LORD to get glory.We need to be grateful for the watchcare of GOD in that of providing a remnant for all of us.We need to be alert to our conduct so that we do not offend our GOD. Holiness should follow conversion.One Day there will be a gathering of all of GOD's children.First/next the RAPTURE will cause all of the Christians to be gathered unto Heaven to be with The LORD, then the 7 years of tribulation and then The Revelation of The Lord Jesus Christ to initiate the 1000year reign in Jerusalem for The Jews. All of this for His Name's sake!

Hebrews 9:13-28 reminds us of The Blood of Jesus that cleanses us of all our sins, yet without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. The choice is to trust GOD's promise or our own blood to appease GOD's wrath for sin.Choose GOD's way.

Psalm 107:1-43 Will we say"GODS is good!"Would we praise The LORD for His goodness!Let us be satisfied that His mercy endureth for ever!Seek to be wise and know GOD.

Proverbs 27:11 How we act on earth demonstrates our respect for our GOD. The Lord will give an account of our life to The LORD so let us make Him glad and do right. pj
8 November YEA! Sunday School and Church.What a wonderful day with the activities for the Veterans, preaching and a fantastic piano presentation that praised GOD.
Just a reminder that it is best to read your 365 KJV Bible before my notes. Oh how I wish all our students were in good health and in class each Sunday.

Proverbs 27:10 reminds us to mind our own business and observe/respect boundaries.

Psalm 106:32-48 tells us of the consequence of unbelief and disobedience.We must be aware of GOD's presence. We ought to be thankful for His mercy and praise Him daily.

Hebrews 9:1-12 we should pray for divine clarity as we read and ask GOD to illumine His Scriptures so that we know the difference of a figure and the real Person of GOD.We need to believe the work accomplished by Jesus is Finished and that He is in Heaven interceding for believers.It is His blood that makes us clean!

Ezekiel 18:1-19:14 How many times have we read that "The Word of The LORD came to Ezekiel"? Take time to look at Hebrews 9:27. Learn the truth about sin and appreciate how GOD hates sin,BUT loves the sinner.Each man is responsible and will be accountable to The Omniscient GOD for his conduct whether by thought and or deed.Read to know GOD and seek to see His attributes (v18:32). We ought to be saddened and broken hearted about sin.We will suffer the consequence for our sins.pj
7 November Saturday and what a day for a parade.It is good to brag and boast about how GOD has blessed The USA.It is sad to report how we have responded to The LORD's leadership.We need to pray with confession, repentance and a broken heart about our personal sins and those of our nation.We have turned our backs on GOD. Please read to know Him. Ask to understand how we are similar to Israel and learn from their sins of unbelief and idolatry and pray that we repent to GOD and have faith in Jesus.

Ezekiel 16:43-17:24 seek to understand GOD's law of sowing and reaping. We,like Israel, are stewards of ALL of the Truth that is around us.All mankind is impacted by creation and a conscience that points men to GOD. You and I are blessed by these gifts PLUS we have Christ. Verse 16:47 makes it very clear about the way of all men. I hope you read this report and blush at the conduct of Israel and all the Jews and sincerely seek The LORD.Pay attention to how often GOD says "I Will".

Hebrews 8:1-13 We all need to draw a line in the sand and say"I believe GOD!" Read to know how GOD The Father feels about Jesus, His Son. How do you feel about Him?Read and be grateful and thankful to GOD for Him and His Son.We have His testament.

Psalm 106:13-31 continues the history lesson of how The LORD deals with Israel coming out of Egypt and in the wilderness.Read and FOCUS on GOD and His attributes.

Proverbs 27:7-9 We need to learn to be satisfied with our life as The LORD has put it together.Be grateful for all His gifts and appreciate godly friends. Selah.Amen.pj

Friday, November 6, 2009

6 November Friday, what a beautiful day!Take time to thank The LORD for His gift of life.Some will prosper today and some will die. Some will be prepared for eternity and some will trust in their self-righteousness to be adequate to appease GOD,The Righteous Judge, for their sin of unbelief and offenses against GOD.

Ezekiel 14:12-16:42 How many times must GOD speak before we respond promptly and correctly?How much patience does GOD have?Do we learn from these reports? If not,why not? We need to learn and understand that salvation from the wrath of GOD for our sin is personal.No one is excused by another. Only sons of GOD will go to heaven!No one may enter because of a family tie.Each person must be accepted by GOD and considered righteous by The LORD.The LORD declared three men to be examples of righteousness suitable for heaven, Noah,Daniel and Job. Daniel is a peer of Ezekiel.Pay attention to the four examples

Hebrews 7:18-28 be sure you hear what is being said about the law.Read v25 and agree with GOD that Jesus is The Only Way to The Father.Read to know Him, believe what you read and act on The Truth. It is finished and Jesus is Our High Priest for ever.

Psalm 106:1-12 We need to Praise The LORD. We need to learn how Israel treated GOD and how GOD treated Israel. Pray to praise in patience. Be honest and confess GOD.

Proverbs 27:3-6 Are you proud that you are not envious? Are you honest?Are you consider a faithful child of GOD? Selah. Amen. pj

Thursday, November 5, 2009

5 November Thursday and we get to live in America and enjoy the benefits given to us by our forefathers.Take time to look around you and then try to give credit to some old people who sacrificed for you.Look into the heavens to see if there are any clouds and then declare "This could be the day that Jesus comes in the clouds and He will call me by mane to come up hither to be with The Lord".If not today, perhaps in the morning.Do you have your wedding garments handy?Do you have oil in your lamp?

Ezekiel 12:1-14:11 we learn that we, like Ezekiel, are always on display in the world so that men may see GOD in us.Where is your stuff? How many "snap shots" of GOD in action did you see?How many times has GOD spoken about the sins of His people?What have you learned about their conduct that has changed the way you think and act?One Day GOD will accomplish His wrath on Jerusalem and the children. One day GOD will bless His People and they will live in Jerusalem for 1000 years.Please be careful about idols and lying prophets. Read your KJV Bible and know The Truth.

Hebrews 7:1-17 reminds us that Jesus is God-man and had appeared to Abraham as the preincarnate Christ known as the King of Salem-Melchisedec priest of the most high GOD for ever.Jesus, as Priest, is superior to Moses and the Levitical priesthood.

Psalm 105:39-45 Praise GOD for himself and His provisions. Be thankful that The LORD does not forget His promises.We are blessed to be a blessing. How did you do today?

Proverbs 27:3 tells us to be alert to all circumstances.

How much do we take for granite?The tragedy at Fort Hood,TX when 12 were killed and 31 wounded during the shoot out of a disgruntled soldier and police. Please pray for timely and accurate reporting of this event. This will have an impact on all military personnel. Fighting men need to be surrounded by good soldiers. Pray that good men become good soldiers and it would be BEST that men who claim to be Christians would join first and serve as good soldiers and ministers.Men are willing to be severely wounded or killed for us so that we get to choose how to act. If you love your freedom, thank your military.Pray for the families affected by this event.No man knows the hour of his death, but then the judgment.Are you ready to die?
4 November What a day to be saved and enjoying The LORD.Hope you are reading to know Him and His Spirit is bearing witness with your spirit that you are His child and in fellowship with Him.How can two walk together except they be agreed?There is a lot of trials,testing and heartbreak going on today. We are not in the same kind of distress as those in Jerusalem in the days of Jeremiah, yet.Hope you read regularly and diligently seek to see and sense GOD as His attributes are made known to us daily. Betty and I get to read early each morning on our patio and then get to see the sun enter into the garden and brighten the multitude of colors in the plants and grasses.GOD is Awesome!His handiwork is breathtaking!The Word is True and the Truth!
**Reminder** please read your 365 Bible 1st before these personal comments.Thanks **

Proverbs 27:1-2 Boasting is very similar to pride. we all need to be careful about tooting our own horn.Seek GOD's wisdom and let His Spirit tell us the time and day.

Psalm 105:16-38 provides us a review of Jewish history and we should learn from their experiences with GOD.We may model our testimony like this psalm and constantly brag about what The LORD has done for us since our salvation.Focus on Him. Selah.

Hebrews 6:1-20 directs our attention to church business.Consider v1-6 as a factual statement about"once saved always saved".There may be tares among the wheat, but let The Holy Spirit cut them out.Hear what GOD is saying about Himself and believe Him to be true and just.Be thankful for the opportunity to meet with GOD The Lord.Amen.

Ezekiel 10:1-11:25 Remember that Ezekiel is living in Babylon and that The LORD causes him to be transported to observe what is happening in Jerusalem.Focus on GOD.The judgment of GOD on Jerusalem is being carried out with mercy and take hope that He will deal with us as He deals with the Jewish remnant.One Day all will be assembled in Jerusalem and Jesus will be Ruler.But now there will about 70 years of captivity for some of the Jews and the temple will be destroyed.The wage of SIN is death.Learn of the sin/sins that these Jewish people were involved with and make sure that you are not doing similar sins.GOD will provide a way out!Trust The LORD!pj

3 November Tuesday. Get out to vote!Where were you in 1999?Where will you be in 2019?Take time to be Holy and then to record how and what The LORD is doing in your life.

Ezekiel 7:1-9:11 It is easier to keep this in order when we remember where Ezekiel is during these scriptures.We need to focus on GOD and notice His attributes during these scenes. This reading will impact and refine our concept of The LORD.What is hidden in your chambers of your imagery?GOD sees all and knows all, get over it, you cannot hide any thing from GOD. Our choice is to be in agreement with The LORD or to be in disagreement. GOD may treat us the same way as He treated these ancients of the house of Israel. We are stewards of all that we have and we will give an accounting one day.We need to read to know Him. We need to fear GOD. We need to be grateful that GOD has put His mark on us. We can see today that GOD is fair, Holy, just and looking for the mark on every person. The salvation work is finished.

Hebrews 5:1-15 tells us again that Jesus is superior to Moses, faith comes before works,God expects fruit in our lives and we will give an accounting to what we have received.Please don't be dull of hearing.Strive to be like Jesus Christ. Amen.

Psalm 105:1-15 charges us to known Jewish history. We must seek The LORD. Selah.

Proverbs 26:28 warns us to be careful with what/how we say anything for it might come back upon us. GOD hates lying, yet loves liars. Amen. pj

Monday, November 2, 2009

2 November Monday Review day and we are still here.Have you made your list of salvation truths? These will encourage you and assist you when you give your testimony. Start out with "I can because He has..., or I am because He did..." and include those promises that tell you of eternal life, forgiveness of sin/sins and that He is coming back to get you.Make much about what GOD has said and done.

Ezekiel 3:16-6:14 What has GOD made clear to you that you should do for Him?We, those that are saved, are ministers of reconciliation. Are we busy doing our Father's business? If not, why not?We are stewards and we are responsible to GOD.We cannot say we love GOD and not obey His commandments. If you love Me....We are to tell what we have heard to all that we are sent to warn.We need to believe that, according to the scriptures, we are important and useful to the LORD.We should think of ourselves as the receivers of truth from GOD and when we hear, just like reading your Bible, we should be led of The holy Spirit and tell all we know about GOD.Circumstances should not cause us to disobey.Consider what is at risk.

Hebrews 4:1-16 ask the question about our peace. Are we resting in the finished work of salvation? Are you searching for grace,peace,love and harmony in the right place?Have you been to the throne room of GOD in heaven?Where do you go to meet with GOD?

Psalm 104:25-35 What make you to want to sing to GOD? When in doubt, seek GOD diligently,believe what He has said and expect truth,mercy and love to overtake you.

Proverbs 26:27 be careful where you dig and walk, especially at night.. Selah.Amen.pj
1 November Sunday is here and we are here and there are clouds in the sky. When will He come and get us?Thank The LORD for visitors to the class. Oh that all the regulars would be on time and in class.We have only 60 more days this year. Hopefully we will be able to give out many certificates for those who have read through their 365 this year. If you have PLEASE let me know so that we can get the certificate signed and prepared for presentation in January.Pray for the lost and for families that are in great spiritual/mental/physical stress and turmoil. Pray for those who have lost family members by death.Oh that we might lament for lost people as Jeremiah lamented over Jerusalem.GOD cares!Remember Romans 5:8.

Ezekiel 1:1-3:15 records the Holy conversation between The LORD and His prophet Ezekiel while he was in captivity in Babylon at the time Jerusalem was being destroyed.Please read to know Him and don't get too involved with trying to decipher the unusual beings appearing to the prophet. Focus on GOD.Note the phrase""This was the appearance of the likeness of... Note the name of GOD in v2:4. Learn the holy sequence to pleasing GOD by v5 in that all must hear,trust and obey. All must submit and do the will of GOD or we will left out and alone.We may learn a missionary truth in that GOD always sends men to men not to dirt.It is always best to wait on GOD.

Hebrews 3:1-19 Jesus is superior to Moses.Adjust your concept of GOD as required.We must learn from the Old Testament and appreciate what we have in Jesus Christ our Saviour.Be encouraged as you read when you see His attributes displayed because of the teaching by The Holy Spirit.We need to rest-stop our labor and love GOD. Amen.

Psalm 104:1-24 How big is GOD to you?Consider His works and be amazed.Look for His handiwork in your circumstance, but diligently seek Him and focus on GOD.It is His presence that satisfies. Read to know HIM! Selah.
