What Will Be Formed

MAY 2 & 3, 2026
Daily Reading—1 Samuel 21-24 / Luke 20:27-47

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Luke 20:18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    I live near a beach in Michigan. There is a lot of sand everywhere. One thing we did as children was to fall back into the sand, have someone pull us up, and see what form we left in the sand. If you ever fell back and hit a rock, well, it hurt. Why, because rocks do not take on the form of what has fallen on them. Rocks instead will reform you, and sometimes that really hurts.

    Jesus is the Rock of our salvation, the cornerstone we build our lives upon. When we fall on Jesus, we take on the shape of Jesus. I do not want a God who changes for me. He is perfect, and I am so far from perfect. I want a God who, instead, changes me into His likeness. 

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

What will be formed in your life?
Are you doing the forming or being formed?

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.

Do You Want To See Jesus

MAY 1, 2026
Daily Reading—1 Samuel 18-20 / Luke 20:1-26

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Luke 19:3-4 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    “Zacchaeus was a wee little man; a wee little man was He. He climbed up in a sycomore tree for the Lord he wanted to see.” Most children who have gone to Sunday School sang this little song. One thing that sticks out to me in today’s passage and the song is that Jesus was coming, and he wanted to see him.

    For many people, the idea of Jesus coming by is a sobering one. If they found out that He was coming to their house, there would be some cleaning up to do. Friend, Jesus already sees what is in your house. Even more important, He sees what is in your heart. If you heard Jesus was passing by, would you run to get a better view or try to hide some things from His view?.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Are you ready to meet Jesus?

They Knew He Knew

APRIL 30, 2026
Daily Reading—1 Samuel 16-17 / Luke 19:28-48

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Luke 18:34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    The disciples in this passage heard Jesus speak and understood His words, but didn’t fully comprehend the meanings of what He said. Nevertheless, they continued to follow Him. Why? They knew, He knew.

    Over years of reading and studying scripture, I have found one thing to be true: I am still learning. I have read the entire bible yearly for many years. With every reading, I learn more about God’s Word than I knew before. I have never let the parts I did not totally grasp stop me from growing by what I did understand. I am so glad I never quit before God revealed the next great thing to me. I know He knows and always look forward to what He will teach me next.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Have you committed in your heart not to quit on God too soon?

Mission NOT Impossible

APRIL 29, 2026
Daily Reading—1 Samuel 14-15 / Luke 19:1-27

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Luke 18:26-27 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved? And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    As a young boy, I watched a TV show called Mission Impossible. Each week, a special team would be given a task that seemed impossible and asked if they would accept the mission. They always accepted, and by the show’s end, they found a way to tackle the problem.

    Man’s most impossible task is dealing with eternity when we die. There is a sin debt we cannot pay, yet a payment must be made. When we look at earthly goods as payment, we soon realize that things cannot buy salvation. Nor can good works or prestige secure our place in heaven. Yet God made a way, through faith in Christ, to save us. God made what seemed impossible, NOT Impossible.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Will you accept the mission of telling people salvation is possible?

Not Without, Within

APRIL 28, 2026
Daily Reading—1 Samuel 12-13 / Luke 18:31-43

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Luke 17:20-21 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    What is the United States of America? Is it the mass of states that border one another? No, Hawaii and Alaska are part of the USA, but do not touch the others. In reality, it is more than just landmass; the people make up the country. What good is a country without people? Just as a church is not a building. A Church is a fellowship of like-minded people, called together by God to serve the Lord in a particular place.

    The Kingdom of God will also be a place. However, today it is made up of individuals who have sworn their allegiance to the King of this Kingdom. He is Jesus Christ, our Lord.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Do you have a heavenly citizenship today?
Can you sing “This world is not my Home, I’m just a passing through” and mean it?
