Monday May 15 Bible Reading:      Gen. 13: 8 - 18 Topic:          Strife Forbidden Troubled brew between the herdsmen of Lot and Abram and to prevent the quarrel from escalating into a major family conflict, Abram arranged for a peaceful separation between himself and Lot. Though he was much older than Lot, he gave Lot first choice and Lot chose the lush pastures toward Sodom. God rewarded Abram's peaceful attitude by reaffirming His commitment to give the entire land of Canaan to him and his descendants forever. 1 Pet. 3: 10 says "He who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit. Let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and His Ears are open to their prayers. But the Face of the Lord is against those who do evil" Abr...

Thursday May 11 Bible Reading:      Gen. 5: 21 - 32 Topic:          Walking With God In today's passage, verse 2 says that Enoch walked with God and God took him straight to heaven without his dying. This shows that Enoch was very intimate with God. Walking with God means living for God, obeying God in all things, loving what God loves. Sometimes we claim to love God and yet refuse to do His Will. Walking with God also involves identifying with God in all circumstances - both in good times and bad. There are some who claim to be Christians but only display their Christianity on Sundays during the Church service; however on other days, in their work places, market places, clubs and other businesses, they live as those who don't truly know God. Their lives exhibit all forms of ungodly behaviour as Paul listed in Gal. 5: 19 - 21 Paul enjoins us to walk in the Spirit so...

How great is it to open the Bible and read words from the Prince of Peace giving us quotes to live by. John 14:27  Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid . John 16:33  I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” Romans 8:6   For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. Philippians 4:6-7  do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Colossians 3:15  And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful
