19 Jan 2012 Thursday, Friday and Sunday is coming.Hope you enjoyed the majesty of The LORD's handiwork early this AM.It is an encouragement to call a friend who is in a very stressful situation and they relate how good it is to read The word and rest in the promises of God. Read to know Him and remember if you miss a day, don't stress about going back to "catch up" for this may lead to a guilt feeling. We don't read to make our Lord happy with us, we read to know Him for He loves us unconditionally!!!

Why do you go to church? Why do you pray? Why do you do right? If you are a child of The King, there is NOTHING you can do to not BE a child of The King.This gift of a relationship with Almighty God through The Blood is sure,fixed and True. We ought to strive to maintain our walk//fellowship with God. How can two walk together except they BE agreed? We need to be good stewards of our time and faith.Check your priorities to ensure that He is first and preeminent.

Hopefully your concept of God allows you to read and change on a daily basis. For example when you see the contrast in the proverbs it ought to cause you to see different aspects/traits of God,cursing and or blessing. The psalmist pleads for an hearing teaching us to be swift to turn to The LORD and not to trust circumstances. Our confidence starts with our recollection of the provisions already provided by God as we see His truth and reliability demonstrated(sight)and then we believe He will continue to be and do what He has said-This is faith.

Jesus demonstrates His love and grace through the teaching of the parable about the sower and the seed. Every person can be seen in this parable for He is describing us. I pray you sense that the v13:23 describes yourself. Stewardship and evidence are always demonstrated for both the good and the bad just like that of leaven.

Joseph is blessed. What has God done for you that He did for Joseph? Spend some time considering the gifts bestowed to you for the glory of God.Recall your salvation, protection and provisions. Our disappointments will come at the hand of men while The LORD will make our appointments and set things(all)in order at His time. luvpj
