14 December 2012 Friday-Sunday is coming! Hope you are enjoying the reading of God's Word. Hope you are gaining confidence in applying these sayings into your lifestyle as these verses sink down into your ears. Today, the thrill of reading is real, as it was the first time! When was the first time you read through the Bible? I hope the LORD will influence some people this year in the class to get in and stay in The Book and read to know Him.

Reading the Old Testament is going to be fast and furious. December 1-31 we will have been exposed to Daniel,Hosea, Joel, Amos, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi. What have you learned about God? How many different names have you noted? Has your attitude about sin changed because you've read? Has your concept of God been expanded? Jonah is a harsh reminder of how not to act when God blesses our friends or enemies. We are warned to hear and to heed what the LORD says to us!

As you read The Revelation of Jesus Christ you are being exposed to events occurring in heaven that  show what is to happen and what is to come. These events we will be a part of as observers. Today we are reminded of what holiness is required to open and read the Word of God. We ought to be grateful for the great hope we have because Jesus is our Saviour. Read carefully verse 5:10 and meditate on our future. WOW!! Can you say/shout AMEN???

Psalms 133-150 ought to cause us to pray differently. We will have read through the 150 Psalms twice this year and surely, we have been changed. Is not 133:1 true and so in your life? If not, why not? Are you an abomination to the wicked? If not why not? O, that we would love what God loves and hate what God hates. We, the saved, are blessed. Pray for the opportunity to share the Gospel with the lost, love the brethren, hate sin and love the sinners. Be right, do right and don't quit. luvpj
