16 Jan 2013 Wednesday and Sunday is coming. As you read to know God I hope you take time to enjoy what you have in Christ. We all are encouraged to meditate in the Word. Selah is a reminder given in the Psalms to stop, pause, consider, read again and think on what you have just read. The next step is to hide the Word in your heart-memorize so that you sin not against God. When the Word is in our heart then the Holy Spirit may draw up and out to be used as you witness. Congrats!

Because we are created in His image Proverbs 3:19-20 takes on a more significant meaning. We are to have the mind of Christ. Read to know Him. Psalm 14 declares a very harsh truth about the fool. We were as he is before salvation. Take time to be grateful.

Matthew continues to share his experience that he had with the Lord Jesus Christ. We get to hear about history and prophecy as Jesus tells about the mind and heart of The Father. The offer for salvation, protection, care, provisions, hope, rest and fellowship with God is made VERY plain, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden." Come, Come, Christ offers peace.

Genesis 32 continues the saga of Jacob. He had a meeting in a creek, where did you meet and come face to face with God? Each and every person is and will be offered this opportunity to be saved and changed forever. We see "things" will not satisfy. We learn that our sins will haunt us till we confess and make them right. Sadly, evidence will be shown in our children, note the conduct of Dinah, Simeon  and Levi with the people of Shechem. Note the name given at 33:20 and consider how it applies today. Theses things have been written in the Bible for us to be warned, wooed, wounded and reconciled to God. Please pay attention, get right, be right, do right and don't quit. luvpj
