Saturday 23 June 2018. It has been a long time between postings. I have been reading every day to know God. How as your reading progressing? The beauty of reading the One Year Bible format is that we can be in unity in the pursuit of knowledge and share blessings we discover each day. Please take advantage of the on-line Bible and read to know God. If you discipline YOURSELF to seek to know God by reading the Bible you will discover joy, peace, unction, fellowship with the Truth. Obey the LIGHT. You will discover that obedience will lead you to knowledge and faith. We do not "DO" to get saved and forgiven, we obey because we ARE saved. You must be born again.

We have finished 1st Kings, midway through Acts, up to Psalm 141 and Proverbs 16-17. By now you are gaining confidence in the linkage-connectivity of the Old Testament with the New Testament. I enjoy reflecting on 1st Corinthians 10:13 (15 August) as we are reading the acts of the various kings and believers to see how God presents opportunities to these people.

We learn that God, The LORD,  is Omniscient, Omnipotent an Omnipresent, never changes His character or traits are the same and He is holy, just, true  and is no respecter of persons. If you trust that the events recorded in the Bible are for our understanding-ensamples and you read how He did then, you can have confidence that He will act the same way today and tomorrow. Look back to John 3:12 and ponder Romans 8:28

As you read 2nd Kings 5:1-27 stop and make that event applicable to your situation. You may be the slave, the man with leprosy, the king, the prophet or one of the servants. Look for the consistency of God as He superintends all of these events. Hopefully you detect reverence and fear of the all knowing God and perhaps then say to yourself, " I wouldn't do that." Accept the hint of you must hear and then heed. You may ask for clarity if you do not understand what God expects you to be, know and do. The bottom line is that all is for God's glory.

There are 150 Psalms. We will get to read all of the Psalms two times each year. There are 31 Proverbs and we read through them one time. I suggest you read scriptures and then ask God to make plain the verses that will be beneficial for your living today and forever.

The Lord made plain to me as we were entering our time of adversity June 2014-- Psalm 119:71-80. My goal has been to read Psalm 5:1-5 and 119:71-80 each morning and last event before sleep each night to settle my spirit and prepare my mind for coming events. Some days I 've been distracted and missed reading, but soon the Holy Spirit reminds me that I'm OK, God loves me and He is watching over me. 

Take time to get right with the LORD. He is holy. In order for us to fellowship with Him you/we  must be clean and holy. Read Isaiah 1:10-18, read 1st John1 :1-10, hear-heed and get right. Have respect, fear and give honor to The Creator God, the most high God whose name is Jehovah, bow the knee, ask for forgiveness, submit yourself for inspection by God The Holy Spirit. God loves you!
