Hebrews 12:28-29 (New King James Version)
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire.
Reverence and fear...those two words echo throughout my mind while working in today's study. Reverence is a responsibility, a necessary component in the relationship with my God. Reverence goes hand in hand with a respectful fear of God for He is Holy.
There were four conclusions brought to our attention in the lesson. In my own words, they were:
1. God sets the rules and he demands reverence.
2. God wants His children, His people to be a people set apart from everyone else.
3. It's His kingdom, made up of
a) a Holy nation
b) God's possession
c) a royal priesthood ....whom He has called out of darkness (out of the world's ways) into His marvelous light (His ways).
Put into your own words, what were the 4 lessons or what would you like to add that God showed you today?

It is difficult to enter a note in the blog. This is my forth try.
Dearest Ones, All I ever look for are ways to praise my Jesus. The more I look, The more I find. As I envision Jesus He helps me see His plan for Us, and the cares of life I forget.
Israel is a nation whose foundation is built upon God's plan in God's ways. When the world thinks of Israel the world thinks of God Jesus.
The United States always has been a nation similar to Israel, whose foundation was built upon God's plan and the Bible. It has always been said that the United States was a Christian nation.
Parallel United States to Israel; Israel worshiped God on the seventh day. United States worships God on the six-day.
According to Bible prophecy the abomination of desolation will occur within Israel's Temple at her final stage.
Paralleling Israel, the United States will experience the abomination of desolation at our final stage.
From the inception of the United States in the creation of all it stands for, it has always been completely with Christian standards. Known as a Christian nation whose trust is in God. If from the election of Obama it will become desolate. Than it might be said that right now we are under the Obama nation becoming a desolation.
If Israel represents the children of God, then it could be said that the United States represents the church. So of the seven churches which church are we. The last church mentioned in Revelation?
When I ask myself this question I'm quick to say, "I want to be the Bride Of Jesus." I will keep my lamp trimmed and fuel filled. Lord Fill Me Now.
