It’s A Matter Of Preference
AUGUST 22 & 23, 2026
Daily Reading—Psa. 86-89 / Rom. 14
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
In Romans 12, Paul gave the church a list of things to help strengthen the church and its believers. One issue that he touches on is our affection and attention. Truth is, we linger near what we love. I am affectionate toward my wife because I love her. Therefore, I give her my attention over everyone else. Why, because I prefer to be with her and have found that I learn to love her more because of the time we spend together.
Paul says we as the church ought to be affectionate toward one another and, actually, preferring one another. That would mean we would long to spend time with the church and give our attention to them. If you do not have that relationship with your church, maybe you are not spending enough time with them.
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
What do you prefer, the world or God’s Church?
IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:
Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this passage and today’s devotion?
Within this reading, do I find a CHALLENGE for my life?
What actions will I take today or this week to meet this CHALLENGE?
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.
