Sunday school lesson for Sunday school 9:30, PLEASANT GROVE G.B. CHURCH Spraggins June 10—Living As God's Just People. Last week's Trivia ques- tion: The Lord commanded the Israelites to keep a feast unto Him—how many times a year? Name the feasts.Answer: Feast of Unleavened Bread, Feast of Harvest, and Feast of the In- Gathering—Exodus 23:14- 16. Name the four tools used for measuring that the Lord instructs His people to use honestly. Hint—Leviticus. Mini message: Next week's question: His people, but not with- out reason. He did not and still does not withhold good from us, but prohibits acts that will bring us harm or destruction. God forbids us to do certain things because He loves us. Next time you are tempt- God gave many rules to "Following Rules" tackle each obstacle know- ing that with God's help I can overcome it.

John Boykin wrote, "Time is your life, nothing more, nothing less. The way you spend your hours and your days, is the way you spend your life." So pray, "Lord, help me to maximize this day."

God determines the num- Sunday morning wor- stand righteousness and jus- tice, equity, and every good path" (Proverbs 2:9). The key to avoiding sympathy to anyone who has lost a loved one. Our heavenly Father has for His mercy, love and an- swered prayer. Continue to pray for one another, the unsaved, the prayer list, for all who are traveling, the sick and needy, for the ones in hospitals and nurs- ing homes, the military, and their families, our President and his family, and all deci- sions that are made. We want to extend our of God and to be diligent in observing them when all seem to have forsaken God calls for strength and courage, especially when clouds of doubt arise. We need to remember that we are not alone. God's son, Je- sus Christ, has promised His grace will be sufficient. They who trust God need have no fear. God gives us the opportu- commanded certain things to be done by His children. One of the common fail- ings of all is to become a lit- tle careless, indifferent and discouraged. To obey the commands tion a man took advantage of the occasion to take a sail- ing lesson. He was puzzled by the difference in leeward, starboard, and stern, so he asked the crew a few ques- tions. After a while the cap- tain asked him if he would like to sail the boat back to the dock. The captain as- sured him he would not have any trouble. The cap- tain said, "Use that cliff as your target, set your eyes and the boat on it." He found the instructions family. Come and be a part of a growing church that is on the move. Worship is important! During a summer vaca- hard to follow. Other things tried to get his attention: the beauty of the blue sky, the waves that were cresting around the boat, the other crew members. He wanted to look at it all. But it would risk him getting to shore and getting off course. The boat stayed on course as long as set his eyes on the mark, or set his eyes beyond the boat. Worship helps us do this nity but He doesn't make us accept it. To be God's chil- dren we just need to: Accept Him, repent of our sins, and confess Him as Lord and Savior and walk in obedi- ence. Thought: You can't get ber of your days, but you de- termine how they are spent. The Psalmist said, "This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it" (Psalm 118:24 NKJV). Yesterday is a cancelled check, tomorrow is a prom- issory note, today is all you've got. And you can be- gin your life over today, if you live by these words: To- day I will delete from my di- ary two days, yesterday and tomorrow. Yesterday was for learning, tomorrow will be a consequence of what I do today. Today I will face life with the conviction that this day will never return, that it may be the last opportunity I'll have to contribute because there's no guarantee I'll see tomorrow. Today I will be coura- geous enough not to let op- portunity pass me by; my only alternative will be to succeed. Today I will invest my most valuable resources, my time, into my most im- portant possession, the life God has given me. I'll spend each minute purposefully, making today a unique opportunity. I'll lost on a straight track. Have a great week! Dale Frederick, Pastor Lois K.
