5 September 2013 Thursday, Friday will be here quickly and Sunday is coming. Are you ready to meet God? I am late posting the reading for this week, however this should encourage you as you have been reading to know God.  Lesson # 36, One Year 365 Bible Class,  September 2013.

During these 7 days take time to seek God early while He may be found. Seek to be amazed at His handiwork as you read Psalm 19. Recall the promises that you  sense that are applicable in your life. Be quick to confess, repent and allow The Holy Spirit to expose your most intimate thoughts, desires and deeds. Believe what you read (BE) and then live (DO) as a child of The King, as a priest, a minister, ambassador and son of God. You are salt and light.   We all need to read to know Him as our Jehovah.

*Ecclesiastes: Vanity Under The Sun, But Hope in God, Jensen's Survey of The Old Testament pg 295; "Ecclesiastes is a book that investigates life and tells what kind of life is worth living.  It is the quest of a soul who sees only vanity all about him until his eyes are opened to the hope offered by God. The book has been described as a confession of failure and pessimism when God is excluded."

*INFO-- According to Jensen's Survey of The Old Testament, chapter 19, Song of Solomon: Union and Communion, pg 305; "A healthy balance in Bible study is maintained when the Son of Solomon is studied along with Ecclesiastes.
