1 Chr 4:5-5:17; Acts 25:27; Psa 5:1-12; Pro 18:19 July 7 2007

IDT teach about committment. The first thing when we wake up is to remember God and trust Him for the day.

The first lesson was on core cirriculum. It talks about knowing who God is, followed by knowing who our master is, and knowing who I am, next, knowing our purpose, values and priorities. The last two is our empowerment (doing what is right) and gaining in our foundation, so that we can know who God is more....

Its a long passage in 1 Chronicles chpater 4 -5. It went on and on talking about who is who father and followed by whose son is who. But read on.. it just show you God knows who you are! Among the famous verse is the prayer of Jabez in 1Chr 4:9-10. This 2 short verse, spoke about Jabez desire to break through and out. In fact, break the usual boring momentum when reading 1 Chr. Likewise, I pray and ask for breakthrough - something different from the ususal routine.

In the NT, Paul was now having trial in courts. The people were trying to prove him gulity, but not able to. Paul made a bold move, asking to go to the court of Ceasar - the higest court -(Acts 25:11) why? In fact, he is in the Romans capital for years because of that. I believe, that in doing so, and being a high profile case - many would be able to hear the case and from the testimony of Paul, know about this Jesus, whom the Jews claim to be dead, while Paul asserted to be alive (Acts 25:19).

Lastly in Psa 5:6 - The Lord destroy those who speak lies and abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man. I pray that I will be reminded and even as I make plans to move out - my purposes and values be grounded in the word. Amen
