Not Book Smart

JANUARY 9, 2026
Daily Reading—Genesis 21-23 / Matthew 7

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 7:28-29 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    If a man builds a boat from scratch, he remembers every detail about it. He recalls the splinters and how to avoid them. He recalls the hours invested and the sacrifices made to build a vessel that will withstand the storms and hold up over time. If a man reads about building a boat, he can only share what he has read.

    When Jesus taught with authority, it was because He knew what it took to build a life. Not like the scribes who read about it yet never met the builder. Christians have met the builder. Better yet, we have a testimony of what He built into our lives.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

     When you share Christ with others, do you speak as one with authority?

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this passage and today’s devotion?

Do I find within this reading a CHALLENGE for my life?

What are one or two things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?

Trust In God’s Care

JANUARY 8, 2026
Daily Reading—Genesis 18-20 / Matthew 6:16-34

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your
heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better
than they?

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Some have read this verse and feel they must do nothing. They read it as though God is going to supply, so I do not have to do anything. Read it again. God cares for the birds, but they still must look for, go, and retrieve the worms He has set out for them.


     Others read this and live as if they don’t believe it. They think they have done everything on their own. They forget who gave them oxygen and health.


     God loves and cares for us. Look at how He keeps all of nature in balance. This includes us.
  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

     How much more do you believe He cares for you than birds?

It’s Special!

JANUARY 7, 2026
Daily Reading—Genesis 15-17 / Matthew 6:1-15

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    “Hallowed be thy Name.” The term “Hallowed” is not one we use too often today. However, Hallowed is so important in this prayer. You see, God’s name is special. “Hallowed” means set apart from all others, Holy, Sanctified, or Pure. It is not like Frank or George. It is special. It says in the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20:7, “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” In essence, He is saying, “My Name is special; treat it so.”

    Sadly, today, we all too often hear people use Jesus, Oh God, or Christ as part of comments that have nothing to do with Him.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

     How can we Hallow His name in our hearts and help others do the same?

It’s An Earth Thing

JANUARY 6, 2026
Daily Reading—Genesis 12-14 / Matthew 5

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the
evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Some things happen to both the born-again and the lost, and there is nothing we can do to change that. As our verse says, when the sun shines, it shines on everyone. When the rain pours, everybody gets wet. When the wind blows, floods come, and snow falls, we are all subjected to it. So, it is with other things as well. We all get old, all face illnesses, and all must die.

    My friend, it is an Earth thing. While here, however, we can choose what happens in the life to come. The saved have chosen Christ and, therefore, a life with Him where many of these things are done away with. The lost by default choose eternal torment.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

     What choice have you made for your eternal life to come?

His Words Are POWERFUL

JANUARY 5, 2026
Daily Reading—Genesis 9-11 / Matthew 4

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 4:19-20 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left
their nets, and followed him.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    In our passage today, we find Jesus simply saying, “Follow me,” and people immediately followed Him. No fancy speeches. No gifts or gimmicks. They simply realized He was Jesus, left everything immediately, and followed Him.


    I am not criticizing new methods of attracting people to church or Christian programs. With all the distractions out there today, we often need to get their attention somehow. However, once we have their attention, it might be better to share the powerful words of Jesus instead of putting on a fancy show.

 

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

How can we share the plain, powerful words of Jesus?
