28 November 2016, Thanksgiving Day is a great memory of fine fellowship, good food, several choices of deserts, plenty of tea and coffee and comfortable couches to rest in as we reflect on the gifts of God, enjoy His presence and look forward to His soon return, AMEN. Hope you were able to have food, shelter and clothes to wear this week. All of us take too much presumptuously. If we know that we are redeemed and bound for Heaven, what more do we need? Take time to be thankful.

As you read your Bible to know God focus on HIM and not His. We have read the Old Testament prophets accounts of how the Jews heard God's Word of warning, but did not heed nor obey. What did you learn about The LORD? Did you see His attributes of Omnipotence and Omniscience? Did you detect the "promises" given to the people if they would obey? What did you learn that impacted your life? Read to know God.

We have read the letters God had James and Peter pen for the Jews that professed to know The LORD as Lord and Saviour, yet were trying to bring the old traditions of Jewish laws into their faith "mixture" by co-mingling works of man with the finished work of The Lord Jesus Christ. We work because we are saved, NOT TO BE or GET saved. We do not add to God's grace. Read the Bible to know God.

Reading Psalm 119 gives us insight and warnings. Reading and heeding the admonitions from the Proverbs will alert us to danger and guide us to delight. Read to know God. I strongly suggest you take time to fear God with reverence and humble yourself in prayer, admit and confess your sin and sins, claim the promise of 1st John1:9. Believe Isaiah 1:15,16,17,18 and 19. Note verse 20.

Get your heart right before GOD, seek His forgiveness, believe His promises, seek to have fellowship with Almighty God so that you might have fellowship with your Christian brothers and sisters. Fellowship in holiness. Read your Bible to know God. Hide His Word in your heart that you do not sin against HIM. Read again John 3:1-36, James 4:17 and act out II Corinthians 5:17-21. God bless you as you seek to know Him, be diligent, prudent and Christ like. Sincerely in love for the lost for Christ's sake. Maranatha
