Today 21 June 2019 may be the last day of your life and the question is, Where will you be tomorrow and forever, with God or in Hell? If you were to read again the gospel account as recoded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John concerning the crucifixion of Jesus and how he extended mercy and salvation to a dying thief. The one thief died forgiven and is in heaven with God TODAY and the other thief died and is not in heaven with God, but in hades-hell suffering the wrath of Almighty God for his sin, the sin of unbelief. Where will you be in 2000 years?

Hopefully you have been reading the on-line One Year Bible to know God and his peace, promises, mercy and offer for redemption-reconciliation, forgiveness of sin and one day restoration living in heaven with God. John chapter 3 is full of truth and direction so that any man may be saved, born again and secure in the hand of the most high God whose name is Jehovah.

We are nearly at mid year having read the Old Testament's account of God bringing the Jews out of Egypt, through the wilderness for 40 years and into the promise land. We have learned about the prophets, judges and kings. We are now into the books concerning the fall of the kingdoms, captivity and rebellion against God. It is imperative to consider the Creator more than the circumstances as you read to know God. This is a book called the Holy Bible penned by Jewish authors written for the Jews yet the promises and many of the application of the Truths given are for us today. Read your Bible to know GOD! The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of God is understanding.

The New Testament's four gospel accounts and the Book of The Acts of the Apostles provide ample waring and instruction so that any man may read and believe. The good news, Jesus saves, is the gospel. John in chapter One (1) makes it plain that ALL men born of woman have the light of Jesus in them at conception and they may respond to the WORD of God as guided by God's Holy Spirit unto salvation being born again by The Spirit unto Eternal Life. It is a gift of God, Ephesians 2:8-10.

We have read 139 of the 150 Psalms to date and will have the opportunity to read all 150 Psalms again by Decembe31. There are many promises given to the reader and we must always pay attention to the associated condition.  Start again at Psalm 1:1-6 and see how the plan of God is given and ample warning to the reader is provided as all men are separated by their response to God and their works. Learn to read a Psalm and then "pray it back" to God as if you were the author. Today as you read Psalm 139:1-24 submit you self completely to God. Confess sins, be thankful and praise God.

There are 31 chapters of Proverbs. As you read each day you will be able to see these brief sharp comments add to your understanding of what you have read both in the Old and New Testament and the Psalms. Allow each day of reading to stand alone for your daily activities looking for the John 3:12's provided to you by God. Read, think, read, meditate and OBEY the Holy Spirit as the scriptures feed your inner man with food that is convenient for you. Be true to God's Truth.
