What Day Do We Meet On?

July 25 & 26, 2026
Daily Reading—Job 17-20 / Acts 21:1-17

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 21:18-19 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present. And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    There has long been a debate on when the church of today should meet. Some say we are to meet on the Sabbath Day ordained in the Old Testament. This would mean Saturday would be the day to gather and worship. Still, a good majority of churches meet on Sunday. However, just because they are the majority does not make them right. So, what is the right answer?

 

    Well, the reason most churches gather on Sunday is found in today’s text. It says the disciples came together on “the first day of the week.” Sunday is also the day that our Lord arose from the tomb. There is nothing wrong with worshiping on Saturday, or any day for that matter. Yet each week we gather not only to fellowship, but also to celebrate the day Jesus rose for us.

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:

     On Sundays, we encourage you to attend your local church and listen intently to what God has prepared in the heart of your pastor. 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.

What Do You Value

JULY 24, 2026
Daily Reading—Job 13-16 / Acts 20

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 19:18-19 And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Isn’t it amazing to see the men in today’s passage not only confess their faith in Christ, but Acts 19:18 says they “shewed their deeds.” Verse 19 gives us an example. It says they brought together things they knew were offensive to God and burned them. Things that had great earthly value, they destroyed. Why, because it offended God, whom they valued more.

 

    Sometimes we need to take inventory of our lives and maybe get rid of some things. Not because they have no earthly value, but because they offend God, whom we value more. Don’t sell them to someone else to plague their lives; destroy them.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Have you examined the things you hold most valuable?

God Can Use You

JULY 23, 2026
Daily Reading—Job 9-12 / Acts 19:21-41

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 18:24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    In Act 18, we read of a man named Apollos. He was teaching what he knew, but he did not have all the information. It appears from verse 25 that he taught about the Lord all the way up to the baptism of John. He needed to hear the rest of the story. Yet, even with his lack of total knowledge, God was using him. When Aquila and Priscilla met him in verse 26, they taught him of the gospel, and God used him even more.

 

    Do not be afraid to share what you know. When done from a heart of love for the Lord, God can use you. Still, never be afraid to learn even more. The more you understand the Word of God, the more effectively He can use you. Attend Sunday School, Services, be Discipled, and study God’s Word.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Apollos was used to open doors for Paul. How might God use you?

Everyone Has A God

July 22, 2026
Daily Reading—Job 5-8 / Acts 19:1-20

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 17:23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Everyone has a god. Even the atheist who says there is no God has then declared themselves to be their own god. We all worship something. Some people will worship trees and bees. Others will worship the stars and Mars. However, when we are all honest with our consciences, we all bow down to something.

 

    Paul noticed that those in Athens wanted to cover every base, so they included an altar to “THE UNKNOWN GOD.” The problem is that you cannot really have more than one god. If you do, then none of them is GOD, as there is no god in control of the other gods. Thankfully, there is one TRUE GOD. A God who created and loves us all, even if we do not believe in Him.   

 

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Will you lift up this GOD to the world today?

Are We Even Noticeable?

JULY 21, 2026
Daily Reading—Job 1-4 / Acts 18

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 17:13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Paul and Silas had a way of stirring up things almost everywhere they went. When they shared the gospel of Jesus Christ, many were saved, and their lives and lifestyles were changed. So much so that the opposition sent people from miles away to campaign against them and even had them arrested if possible. 

    When reading this today, I asked myself, “Are we as believers today doing enough?” I mean, a few people stirred up things so much by sharing the gospel that these cities were concerned about things shifting in the actions and attitudes of those in these towns. The change scared them.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

I just must wonder, are we doing enough?
Are we even noticeable?
