Wednesday, 9 September 2015, time is not our friend when we delay in sharing Truth. What is good about Good News, The Gospel,  when it is late? There are many souls that have passed into eternity and they were NEVER presented the Gospel, Jesus Christ saves.
All of us that claim to be sons of God by faith according to the Bible will give an account of our stewardship of the scriptural Truth that we have been exposed to and yet have not proclaimed it to our family and friends. James 4:17, John 3:12 and Matthew 5-7 admonish all believers and even invites us to be about our Father's business.

Lesson # 35 for the  One Year Bible  Class to be conducted at  VBC 13 September 2015.  Please READ the Bible before you consider the comments.

Take time to “Selah” after reading the Song of Solomon and consider the conflict implied for the Shulamite woman in her being drawn between two men. Consider the dilemma we face each day when we want to seek and follow after The Lord and yet the things of the world call to us and we either hesitate or attempt to serve our two loves and find ourselves frustrated. Be wise and attentive unto the Lord.

Mon-7-Song of Solomon 5:1-8:14, 2^nd Corinthians 9:1-15, Psalm 51:1-19 & Proverbs 22:24-25. Appreciate the kindness and enjoy the sincerity recorded that occurs between humans that are a shadow of the love of God for His creation. Learn the stewardship principles taught that ought to be guided by the love of God. Allow Psalm 51 to influence how and why you pray. Obey the Proverb’s admonitions.

According to Halley’s Bible Handbook “”Isaiah is referred to as the Messianic Prophet. It is recorded that Isaiah made ten (10) predictions that came true in his life; Thirteen (13) predictions were also fulfilled after his death. Isaiah also made nineteen (19) predictions about the coming Messiah that came to pass and are recorded in the New Testament.

He was a prophet of the Southern Kingdom, Judah, at the time the Northern Kingdom, Israel, was destroyed by the Assyrians. Isaiah lived in the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. His call was in the year of Uzziah’s death, but some of his visions may have been earlier (see 6:1). He was slain, according to Jewish tradition, by Manasseh. Tentatively we may place his active ministry at about 745-695 B.C.”
Tue-8-Isaiah 1:1-2:22, 2^nd Corinthians 10:1-18, Psalm 52:1-9 & Proverbs 22:26-27. Focus on the attributes of God that Isaiah relied on. Read & re-read verses 1:15-20 and consider God’s holiness, mercy and perquisites for prayer. Allow Corinthians 10:12-18 to prevent pride to overtake your conversation. Selah is a guide for the readers to “pause and consider again” what you have read.

Wed-9-Isaiah 3:1-5:30, 2^nd Corinthians 11:1-15, Psalm53:1-6 & Proverbs 22:28-29. Pay attention to how God is titled at Isaiah 3:1. Even in captivity God will be exalted. Why are you jealous and what are you jealous over? The Psalmist is direct when he refers to those who do not believe God. Allow the warning in the Proverbs to influence what you read and how you apply all of these Truths to your life.

Thu-10-Isaiah 6:1-7:25, 2^nd Corinthians 11:16-33, Psalm 54:1-7 & Proverbs 23:1-3. Meditate on the vision of Isaiah at chapter 6. How have you gloried in your infirmities? When you adore God in your prayers how do you describe Him?

Fri-11-Isaiah 8:1-9:21, 2^nd Corinthians 12:1-10, Palm 55:1-23 & Proverbs 23:4-5. Try to imagine the experience of Isaiah as Almighty God speaking to him audibly and telling him the past, present and the future. Make 8:13 as you role model. Consider the experience of Paul being caught up to the third heaven and living to tell of his trip because God wants all men to know Him. If we depended on the LORD as did the psalmist and read and believed what God did for his prophets, we would be different.

Sat-12-Isaiah 10:1-11:16, 2^nd Corinthians 12:11-21, Psalm 56:1-13 & Proverbs 23:6-8. In all of the conflicts God has had a remnant, what does that teach you about His care for you? Take time to meditate on the prophecy given in chapter 11. Appreciate those men and women of God who have served you with the Gospel and make your lifestyle to be as 12:13-15. Enjoy your blessings and take time to be grateful.

Sun-13-Isaiah 12:1-14:32, 2^nd Corinthians 13:1-14, Psalm 57:1-11 & Proverbs 23:9-11. Note the NAMES of God given at Isaiah 12. Be grateful for God and His attributes as recorded in chapter14. Paul challenges all men to examine themselves and their faith. Take verse 13:11-14 as a Grand Promise for your life, today and forever. Be careful.

Get right, Be right, Do right and don’t quit. Read your Bible to know God. Believe what you read. Share what you have learned with all people in your sphere of influence, God bless you.
