Revised: Monday, May 11, 2015

Two news items added!
1. CAKE AND PUNCH SERVERS NEEDED FOR ONE HOUR ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. 
Little Lambs is in need of someone to serve cake and punch for the preschool graduations on Wednesday and Thursday from 6-7.   Please reply to this email or talk to one of the preschool teachers to volunteer!
 
2. JR AND SR HI YOUTH MEETING TUESDAY AT 6PM!!  All 6-12 grade youth please come to fill out paperwork for our servant event to Minnesota July 5-11 and to discuss and plan future events which include a glow in the dark Wiffle ball night and an outing to Six Flags!!. 
 

DEVOTION:  When one rules over men in righteousness, when he rules in the fear of God, he is like the light of morning at sunrise on a cloudless morning, like the brightness after rain that brings the grass from the earth.  2 Samuel 23:3-4
 
This was one of, in not the last thing that David said.  He was dying and he wanted to impart some wisdom to his son.  He had learned through many mistakes and heartache what it was like when he didn't rule in righteousness (Bathsheba).  He saw what happened to Saul when Saul no longer feared the Lord and let the power get to his head.  He didn't want that to happen to his son Solomon. 
 
This isn't just good advice for a king, but it works in all of your relationships.  When a father does his job in righteousness his family thrives.  When a spouse loves his or her spouse in God's righteousness the marriage is wonderful.  When a pastor leads a congregation in righteousness and when he fears the Lord, there is joy and peace.  And when he doesn't.......  well you know what happens. 
 
I urge you today to pray for righteousness and the fear of the Lord in your life.  Wherever God has placed you, whether you are a son, daughter, mother, father, worker, boss, grandparent, church member, mayor, or even president; walk humbly and love mercy, give grace, give God's love and forgiveness, and things will go well  and God will be pleased! 
 
Prayer: Lord God, bless me that I may live my life in righteousness and in the fear of you!  Amen.
