Yea for 11 February 2109. Hope you have been reading the One Year Bible every day to know God. Our SS Class yesterday focused on the Ten Commandments given by GOD to Moses and recorded at Exodus 20. We considered how often people violate verse 7 where it is said " Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh  his name in vain." Be careful, for God will not be mocked.

It is clear that the lost man is not chastised here so this applies to those whom say " The LORD is my God." All and any person that rejects God as LORD will one day be judged and condemned to the devil's hellfire. You must be born again!! Read John 3 1-36 and see and hear God's offer of salvation and be sure of verse 36.

By reading every day we are exposed to the history of the Jewish people in the Old Testament as they transition from domination and poverty in Egypt and the travel to the promise land of milk and honey. Their stop at Mount Sanai to receive the LAW of God, gain the definition and plans for the Tabernacle and to prepare for their new life show the  attributes of the LORD God.

As we read the Gospel of Matthew we find it compliments the history of the Jewish people in their genealogy from Adam to Jesus. We learn about the hatred of truth, The Lord Jesus, by the Romans, the self righteous Jewish Levites-Priests, Sadducees, Pharisees, scribes and uninformed people. We observe the multitude of miracles that Jesus did, his teaching by parables and the calling out the twelve disciples for ministry. We are able to observe God's handiwork of salvation for believers, the denial of his disciples to follow him and the treachery of Judas for 30 pieces of silver.

The Psalms record the mind and heart of God as penned by David. We read the life of Jesus Christ when we make a trilogy of Psalm 22-23-24. We are shown many promises that were given to the Jews that are applicable for us today. We learn how to pray when we read and pray back the Psalms to God. We gain confidence by seeing His attributes displayed every day and hiding these truths in our hearts that we do not sin against the LORD. Read Psalm 31:1-24 and learn how to love the LORD.

Proverbs 7 & 8 directs our attention to hearing and obeying the LORD God. These thoughts that God caused Solomon to write afford us the opportunity to gain instruction, knowledge, wisdom, understanding and faith.

Read the Word of GOD to know Him.

Get right to Be right, read to Know right, obey to Do right and don't quit. God bless you as you turn to The LORD God in repentance confessing your sin (James 4:17), respond to The Holy Spirit according to the WORD (John1:1-14)  of God anmd be blessed. Amen.
