18 December 2012 Tuesday, a day of salvation for Joe!When was the last time The LORD made plain Romans 8:28 in your life? This AM a door of opportunity was made for us in that we had a small problem in our bath that needed attention by our contractor and  they sent Joe to fix it. Joe heard the offer of salvation, according to the scriptures, and by faith received the GIFT! It was an early Christmas for his house and our home. As you continue to read to know God remember to pray for the lost in your area of influence that you also might be able to share The Gift of Life.

Habakkuk is different. During his life Nineveh was to fall, Assyria was defeated and Babylon was to invade Judah. It seems as though God allowed Habakkuk to be an intercessor for the Jews as evidenced by his prayers. Who are you standing in the gap (praying) for today? Pay attention to 4:4 for this truth is repeated several times in the New Testament. How is your lifestyle? Who is your strength? As you pray, how much emphasis do you put into worshipping The LORD?

How do you express to your Lord appreciation for not having to face the tribulation period? We will learn the wrath God has reserved for the unbelievers as it was shown to us today in Revelation 9. We are exposed to the names of God and also the names of the Devil, our enemy. As you read to know God, take time to be thankful, for his mercy endureth for ever.

The Psalmist recalls the sad days of captivity and recognizes the problem of forgetting God.We are in this world temporarily, this is not our home, and yet we look forward to a majestic home in heaven where Jesus is preparing for believers a new home. Do you know you are on the list for this heavenly flight? When was your name written down in The Lamb's book of life? Joe's name was entered today.

 Read to be right /get right then do right and by God's grace don't quit. Pray for the lost, the military, the missionaries, the pastors and churches and strive to be in agreement with the prayers of the Lord Jesus Christ.  lupj
