APRIL 10, 2026—Enough For Today

Enough For Today

Luke 9:17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

   

For the most part, people are planners. I must admit, I am a planner too. I plan everything. At this stage of life, I am thinking of plans for the day I leave this world to be with the Lord. I do not want my departure to be a burden on those left behind. The Bible encourages us to plan and prepare. However, there are times we just need to be happy with what God provided today. 

    Jesus does not always promise to tell us what lies ahead. He does, however, say He will never leave us nor forsake us. We may not always see His hand of provisions for the weeks and months ahead, but He always seems to provide enough for today and, most often, a little extra.

APRIL 9, 2026—Giggle All You Want

Giggle All You Want

Luke 8:53-55 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.

   People love to laugh. However, occasionally people laugh at what they do not understand. As believers, we are sometimes laughed at for our walk with God. When we give our tithe, stop to pray, and live our lives by faith, those who do not enjoy the indwelling of the Holy Spirit do not understand, so they may laugh.

    They laughed at Jesus when He said, “weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.” Why did they laugh? Because they did not understand the power God has even over our most serious enemy, death. There will be a day when all the laughing stops. Until then, we must keep trusting our Lord and winning others to Christ. They may giggle, but Christ is all in all.

APRIL 8, 2026—The Seed

The Seed

Luke 8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

   It is that time of year when people begin to plan what their garden and landscaping will look like. At least that’s what we hope it will look like. Once we plan, we then must plant the seeds. However, you cannot just plant any seeds and hope to grow a daisy. You must purchase daisy seeds, put them in good soil, and plant them as instructed in order to grow healthy daisies.

    Many people today believe that people are just going to somehow get saved. That they will somehow go to heaven when they die. However, if you want to see the life of Christ in a person, you need to first plant the right seed. Our verse today says the seed that Jesus spoke of, which brought about real eternal life, is the Word of God. Some things never change. God’s Word is one of them.

APRIL 7, 2026—A Little Or A Lot

A Little Or A Lot 

Luke 7:47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

    How much do we love God? According to today’s passage in Luke, it may depend on how much we think we were forgiven. If we think we are not that bad and that God only had to forgive just a little bit of sin to save us, we may only love God a little. However, if we ever get the true picture of the sinfulness of our souls, when God, through the precious blood of His Son, washed away our sins, we will love Him greatly. We must remember, at our best, we are as filthy rags before the perfect righteousness of a Holy God.

    Imagine a white shirt. Now spill gravy on just one spot. What shows up, the clean shirt or the spot? It is the filthiness of the spot that gets the attention. Is the shirt now clean or dirty? It takes very little sin for us to be totally filthy.

APRIL 6, 2026—A Look Toward The Future

A Look Toward The Future

Luke 7:28For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

    John the Baptist was by far one of the greatest prophets who ever lived. Maybe not in the magnitude of the prophecies he shared, but in the clarity of his purpose in foretelling Jesus’ coming and his direct connection with Christ, he by far outshines them all.

    Yet, Jesus said the least of those in the kingdom of God would be greater than John. How could this be? Well, as close as John was to Jesus, a believer today is just as close with the Holy Spirit residing in them. As to the clarity of Christ’s purpose, we now have the entire Word of God to see the beginning and the end, which John did not have. We can say with certainty, as John said back then. “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”
