Friday, 18 December 2015, many are unsure about the days ahead and many are lost. What is your status? If you were to die today and stood before Almighty God and he asked you why he should let you into heaven, what would you say? It will be too late to seek forgiveness after death. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. The wage of sin is death. Eternity is too long to be wrong about salvation and the second death. Jesus said "ye must be born again." Read the 3rd chapter, verses 1-36,  of the Book of John in the New Testament and believe what thus saith The LORD.

This is the last lesson for the 2015 year.  Lesson # 49  One Year Bible Comments for 14-31 December 2015.

This will be the last lesson presented for this year for the class. Our last “in class” session was held Sunday 13 December. You are encouraged to continue to read each day your Bible to know God. Hopefully by now you have developed the self discipline of making your daily reading a priority and necessity thereby causing the word of God to be preeminent in your life. Strongly suggest you make reading the One Year Bible your daily conversation.

We will complete reading the last of the Old Testament Prophets letters, Proverbs, Psalms and the Revelation of The Lord Jesus Christ. Continue to look for God’s attributes, his names, promises that are applicable for you today, admonitions to avoid sin (s) and the path made plain as per John 3:12.

Hopefully you gained an appreciation for obedience as you read Jonah. Perhaps you have decided that even when you are overtaken by a fault, caught and chastised, that you will “yet look again toward thy holy temple” Jonah 2:4b. Revelation 5 makes plain “who is worthy to open the book and to loose the seals thereof” so that we may say Amen. Psalm 133 provides encouragement to keep on being thankful and grateful.

As you read Micah on 15 December you were reminded of God’s holiness and the sinfulness of all men. Every man has the choice to make and that is to either follow The LORD or a god of their imagination. The man that sat on the white horse in Revelation 6 was not the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed are those who will believe the gospel and “we” will wear white robes.

Look at Micah 5 for the prophecy of the birthplace of ruler in Israel. Make Micah 6:8 a pattern for the rest of your life. Look forward to that Day when God will bring you forth to the light so that you may behold his righteousness. Rejoice as you read Revelation 7 knowing where you will be when this grand event will take place. Take time to read Psalm 135, Selah, and then bless the LORD. Believe that every word of God is pure.

Nahum is the history of Nineveh. Pay attention to God’s warnings not heeded and allow this to temper your obedience to His Commands. How is your “fear of God” impacted because you have read today?  Woe, woe, woe is pending those of unbelief. Be persuaded to win the lost at any cost. Read and re-read Psalm 136, then give thanks. **Take time to make Proverbs 30:7-9 as your stewardship guide / checkbook verse.

Habakkuk is applicable today if one is concerned for his nation. How do you pray for your people? There is hope for us when we hear, believe and obey God and then be just and live by faith. Pray verse 3:1-2 with tears and righteous hope. Read and believe 3:17-19 and live like you are a son of God. Allow Revelation 9 to impress you with the deceitfulness of sin and the stronghold Satan has on unbelievers, yet it is the LORD who opens and closes the bottomless pit. What song are you singing today?

Zephaniah records that God will and has judged all men, judged all families and all nations, then read 1:14-18. Look carefully at 2:3 before you read 3:5-8. Now rejoice by reading 3:9-20 and be thankful for God’s mercy and provisions. Our work as ministers of reconciliation is not over, so be busy about our Father’s business. Appreciate Psalm 138:2b as you read the Word to know God. Consider the “promise” at verse 8 when you are overcome and in doubt.

Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi are the prophets God provided to the Jews as they returned to Jerusalem after their 70 years of captivity. All men are warned to “consider your ways” when establishing priorities for daily life. Is the LORD preeminent in your life? Revelation 11 shows the activities of the two witnesses that are to occur in the midst of the seven years of the tribulation what attributes of God did you see today? God is shown to be Omniscient in Psalm 139 and believers will call for the LORD to make verses 23-24 real and true each day. Read your Bible to know God.

Thanks for sharing your time with us this year in our class. We pray that you have been blessed as you made the LORD your Lord each day because you read your Bible to know Him.

We pray as you return to your regular class Sunday 20 December that you will be fruitful and participate by encouraging others to read their Bible to know God. When we start the new year with emphasis on “Stewardship” I believe we all will be better prepared to believe God and then to “DECIDE” to commit to Him our all and all. God bless you.
