MARCH 5, 2026
Daily Reading—Numbers 12-14 /  Mark 9:1-29

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 8:33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Some life lessons are never forgotten. For Peter, this was one of them. When Jesus asked who He was, Peter correctly identified Jesus as the Christ. His heart was indeed close to Jesus. Yet Peter’s comment to Jesus’ teachings of His death, burial, and resurrection were not those of a student and teacher. Even Peter was not beyond Satan’s influence. Jesus turns to look at Peter but tells Satan to get behind Him.

    In 1 Peter 5:8, we are warned of this very thing. Peter says, “…your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” Satan can never regain the saved soul; however, if we’re not careful, he may misguide the use of our tongue. I think Peter always remembered this lesson. 

   

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

Wouldn’t we be wise to remember it, too?

Oh Be Careful Little Ears

MARCH 4, 2026
Daily Reading—Numbers 9-11 /  Mark 8:22-38

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 8:15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.

 

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    When I was a child in Sunday school, there was a song that said, “Oh, be careful little ears what you hear.” We, of course, always think this has to do with listening to the wrong music, stories, bad jokes, etc. Did you ever think it might be the wrong Bible teaching?

 

    In today’s verse, Jesus warned the disciples to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Herod. When we read this in Matthew 16:12, he explained that the leaven was their false doctrines. Some today say doctrine is not important; just preach and teach about general things that we can all agree on. However, Jesus says, Oh be careful little ears, what you hear. Wrong, false doctrine is so dangerous. 

   

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

Are those people you listen to teaching you the right Doctrine?

Clean The Right Side First

MARCH 3, 2026
Daily Reading—Numbers 7-8 /  Mark 8:1-21

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 7:18-19 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Why is it that many come into church, stay awhile, and then leave and go back into the world? Well, there may be many reasons, but Jesus spoke of a main one here in this passage. It just may be that we have focused on cleaning up the wrong side first. 

    You see, what we view on a person’s outside is not nearly as important as what God sees. Cleaning up a person’s appearance, vocabulary, habits, etc., will only go so far in life if their heart has never been changed. However, once their heart is given over to Christ, then God will make of them a new creature. And friend, He does a much better job of that than we do.  

   

WHAT WILL YOU DO?:

Which side are you more concerned with, inside or outside?

Be Of Good Cheer

MARCH 2, 2026
Daily Reading—Numbers 5-6 /  Mark 7

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 6:50 For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Fear comes in many packages. Someone can frighten you by saying “boo” at just the right moment. A doctor could instill fear with a less-than-appreciated diagnosis. A troubled family member can send shivers down your spine. The loss of a job may cause a person alarm as they consider what is next. Fear may come in many packages, but it is still fear.

    I like what Jesus said to the disciples when they were struck with fear. He said, “Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.” He did not say there is no problem. He said I am here. This is still His promise today. In Hebrews 13:5, He said, “…I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” We can trust Him with any fear. 

   

WHAT WILL YOU DO?:

What fear can He help you with?
Can you hear Him say,
“Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid”?
