29 December 2012 Saturday and Sunday is coming! It is cold here in this part of Texas.  I am just about over my love for snow and cold windy weather. If it were 40 in the AM and 60 by noon I think I would be able to enjoy my naps on the patio much more better. Hope you are enjoying the weather in your area, reading your Bible, learning about the love of God, praising The LORD for all of His provisions and sharing your blessings with others.

As you finish reading Zechariah how has your concept of God been refined? We are not close to that "One Day", but we can see the circumstances shape up that warn us to prepare. Do you ever question why the Jews were so hard of hearing, stiff necked and disobedient to the warnings of God's prophets? Are we like the people of 2-3000 years ago, today in America? Why are we not concerned about the lost? When you see the name of God at v14:9, what attribute or trait comes to your mind? Does "all" really mean all? Fact, every nation will be dealt with by God? Does this impact your concept of God?

When John was being instructed by God on the end of time, and you get to read it today, where do you see yourself? Stewardship will be the key and is the process for our accounting for "all" of our life. There are no exceptions!What is your reaction to the promise of a 1000 year reign with God? Where will you be during the great white throne judgment? Where do you expect to be in 100 years?

We ought to be grateful for the psalmist who penned these last Psalms 145-150. Read these and note the names, attributes, traits, promises and blessings recorded that have been provided to us because we read to know God. Read 147:11 and take time to meditate on this truth, SELAH.

Pray for the troops, for the missionaries, for the saved and for the lost. Practice adoring God.
Pray for the leaders in government to be sensitive to God's Spirit. Pray for the pastors to be in the Word and led by The Spirit and that the "churches" hear what The Spirit is saying to the church.
Pray for those inclined to start the 2013 One Year (365) Bible class. Strive to grow in grace and knowledge of The Lord Jesus Christ. We are the salt and the light. Be right/do right/don't quit. pj
