Let The Light Out

OCTOBER 14, 2026
Daily Reading—Isa. 32-36 / Phil. 4

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Philippians 2:14-15 Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    The lighthouse keeper, back when the light was a large oil lamp, had an important job that many lives depended upon. Every morning, he would turn down the wick to extinguish the flame and refill the oil. He then used a special grit-free cloth to clean the Fresnel lens and its many prisms of soot that had accumulated overnight. He was to make sure the lighthouse was always ready to serve as a beacon of rescue in the darkness. The lighthouse was always manned, never left vacant.

    Christians need to be like that keeper. We must daily attend to a clean life by asking God to forgive us and refilling the oil by reading His Word. Always ready to be used by him to shine a light into a dark world.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Are you ready to let His light shine through you today?

Confidence Equals Peace

OCTOBER 13, 2026
Daily Reading—Isa. 29-31 / Phil. 3

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    “I am confident.” My pastor for many years, Pastor Grooms, used this phrase often while preaching. The more I think about it, the more I realize that confidence is really just another way of saying, “I have peace.”

    Paul said He was confident that God begins a work in us when we accept Jesus as our Saviour. How peaceful it is to know that God is present and working in our lives. Not only has He begun a work, but He will also perform it or continue to act upon that work. Meaning He will never grow tired of us, nor ever quit performing this work in us all of our earthly lives.   

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Don’t you enjoy a sense of peace in the confidence that God is still
with you and working on your life today?

Good Work = Great Reward

OCTOBER 12, 2026
Daily Reading—Isa. 25-28 / Phil. 2

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Ephesians 6:7-8 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    People have tried to apply these verses to salvation. They believe that they will be allowed into heaven because of their good works. However, this passage is not about salvation. It is about how a saved person ought to live their life. Paul is saying good works will equal great rewards. No works equals no rewards.

    Paul is telling the church, Do not work to please the boss while he’s watching; work for the Lord, who is always watching. He also says, Do it with the right heart. Not bitter about having to work. Instead, do it with goodwill, rejoicing to have a job, and being grateful that God gives you the health to perform it. Work for the Lord, and He will reward you. Work for man, and all you get is money.

Pucker Up And Whistle

OCTOBER 10 & 11, 2026
Daily Reading—Isa. 20-24 / Phil. 1

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Ephesians 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Oh, the joy of knowing that Jesus loved us enough to come to earth and die on a cross for us. Not only did He die, but He also rose again and lives today, making intercession for us at the throne of grace. It makes you want to sing. However, some say they cannot sing. I heard a man say that he was cut out to be a singer but was sewn up all wrong. I say if you cannot sing, pucker up and whistle. Make a joyful noise.

    Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs. What are the differences? Ask 20 musical people, get 20 variations of the answers. I like the end of the verse, “making melody in your heart to the Lord.” That is a simple answer.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

What tune is playing in your heart today?

WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:

     On Sundays, we encourage you to attend your local church and listen intently to what God has prepared in your pastor’s heart. Write down all the scriptures he uses in that message.
Then, when you get home, reread those passages for today’s reading.
God has given your pastor exactly what He desires for you to have on that day.

You Can’t Even Imagine

OCTOBER 9, 2026
Daily Reading—Isa. 15-19 / Eph. 6 

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Ephesians 3:20-21 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    As we read Ephesians 3:20-21, we realize that God, through Paul, was writing to churches throughout all ages and, therefore, writing to us, the church today. What is God saying to us today? He says I am close to you.

    Paul points out the marvel of who God is. He is “able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think.” As I read it, I hear God saying, “You cannot even imagine all of who I am or what I am able to do.” He adds, “according to the power that worketh in us.” Do you realize how close God is to us? He is in us and able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think, in and through us. “Unto Him be glory in the church” is an understatement.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Isn’t it great to know this awesome God will never leave us?
