PJP2 PROLOG POST 160601 -1 Kings 9:3-7, 9 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."And The Lord Said to Solomon, 'I Have Heard your Prayer And your Plea, which you Have Made Before Me.  I Have Consecrated This House that you have built, By Putting My NAME There Forever.  My Eyes And My Heart Will Be There For ALL Time.  And as for you, IF you Will WALK Before Me, as David your father walked, With INTEGRITY of Heart And Uprightness, DOING According To ALL That I Have Commanded you, AND Keeping My Statutes And My Rules, THEN I Will Establish your royal throne over Israel Forever, As I Promised David your father, saying, ‘You Shall NOT lack a man on the throne of Israel.’  BUT IF you turn aside From Following Me, you or your children, And Do NOT Keep My Commandments And My Statutes That I Have Set Before you, BUT Go And Serve other gods and worship them, THEN I Will Cut Off Israel From The Land That I Have Given them, AND The House That I Have Consecrated For My NAME, I Will Cast Out of My Sight, and Israel will become a proverb and a byword among all peoples. Then they will say, ‘Because they abandoned The Lord their God Who Brought their fathers Out of the land of Egypt and laid hold on other gods and worshiped them and served them. Therefore The Lord Has Brought all this disaster on them.’”

IF and THEN.....

Such a straight-forward principle - BUT, oh my, NOT EASY to say the least.

Yet, isn't that the Way of Life in our Lord?  His Principles to us are extremely Straight-Forward.....NOT to be confused with EASY......not in the least.  I mean look at our Lord Jesus' WORD on The Commandments.....

 Matthew 22:36-40 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And Jesus Said to him, 'You Shall LOVE The Lord your God WITH ALL your Heart And WITH ALL your Soul And WITH ALL your Mind.  This IS The Great And First Commandment.  And A Second IS Like IT: You Shall LOVE your neighbor As yourself.  On These Two Commandments Depend ALL The Law and The Prophets.'”

We can readily see the "IF....THEN" Principle at Work.  So likewise in our PJP2 PROLOG POWS today....

"IF you WILL WALK"......"THEN I WILL Establish".....

So.....What about us.....What's The Holy Spirit Sharing with you that would Line Up with the "IF....THEN" Principle?

I know for me, He Is Pointing towards TRUST HIM.  I know, as Cindy and I move through this Transition from Active Duty Air Force to Air Force (Retired...as of 1Jan2017).....God's Next Adventure in our Lives is just beginning to appear in the mist of time....no clear outline or form has taken shape....BUT we TRUST HIM and Know He Has us in The Hollow of His Hand.  I will keep you all posted as we Travel down this Road of Transformation and Change.....

Thus my Prayer for us today is simply - O Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God, Thank You for Your Eternal Presence in our Lives.  Lord Jesus, Strengthen us to TRUST You in All our Ways.  Holy Spirit, Ever Remind us That You Are With us, no matter what comes our way.  Father God, Thank You for the "IF....THEN" Principle.  Help us, Lord, to Walk With You in All we Say, Think and Do.  Lord Jesus, we Lift Up our Prayers in Your Holy Name, May Your Will Ever Be Done.....Amen/Amen....jaj
