Yea for today! We have had some adversity to deal with and by God's grace, MERCY AND TRUTH we are better equipped to share his blessings with others. Hope you have been reading your Bible to know God. Remember that the On-Line One Year Bible is located at the blog so that you may read every day. I pray you know that God loves you even if you do not accept HIM as personal savior or that you do not read the Bible every day.

As you read the Old Testament consider the transition from I&II Samuel, I&II Kings, I&II Chronicles to showing the establishment of a system of Kings for the Jews. Samuel recalls for the people the promises, provision and protection by God for those who hear, obey and live by faith. You have been exposed to many characteristics, traits and attributes of God revealing his strength, knowledge, love and ever presence.  These Old Testament Truths will be demonstrated in the New Testament. Take note of some of the near 700 names God has recorded in scripture are subordinate to the WORD according to Psalm 138:2. Read your Bible to know God.

The New Testament reading has included the Book of John, Acts and now Romans. Consider the acts of the apostle Paul as he was going to Rome in chapter 24-28 as he witnessed to the high priest, Felix, Festus and King Agrippa the gospel. Noted their responses of rejection, denial and near belief even when it was said to Paul "Almost thou persuades me to be a Christian." You faced the same choice of hearing the gospel, heeding the truth and be drawn by The Holy Spirit to The Father and being reconciled to God the Father through Jesus Christ The Son OR saying no. Please choose to hear and believe the gospel, agree with God that as a sinner and you have offended the LORD. See the significance of Jesus Christ as the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE and no man cometh unto the Father but by the Son. Call out to God in the name of Jesus Christ and ask to be forgiven, to receive the gift of eternal life by faith, Believe God. Be thankful.

WE have read through the 150 Psalms and are reading them again. Concentrate on the benefits of Psalm 1. You are blessed or you are cursed. There is evidence of salvation and forgiveness.

Pay attention to the Proverbs when you find specific comparisons. Note Proverbs 18: 14-22. Look for God's handiwork in his presence, mercy, law, attributes, names and promises. You will determine you have not because you ask not. Ye must be born again! Read John chapter 1:1-14, 3:1-36, Ephesians 2:8-10, Romans 3:22-23, 5:8, 10:1-13 and accept what we are doing right now is written at verses 14-21. One day you will stand at the door of heaven and you will be asked "why should I let you in to heaven?" What will you say to The All Knowing LORD? Read your Bible to know God.
