Many people today claim kinship with the Lord God, but their lifestyles say otherwise. In today's devotional, Pastor Pauley instructs that if they truly are adopted into His family, they will soon feel His chastening hand. If they are mere pretenders, however, the shock of the reality that awaits them will be devastating.

| Our God is not a distant God. Even in the Old Testament David declared that God was HIS God. In today's Study, Gary Sims asks if you are experiencing that kind of personal relationship with God today. The Lord knows and fulfills our every need, and like David, our hearts should overflow with praise. |
