Daily Reading – Job 17-20 / Acts 21:1-17

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  Paul, in his departure from the elders of Ephesus says, I am leaving you in very good hands. Actually, what he is saying is I am leaving you in GOD’S hands and with His handbook for life. His implication was, not only do they have God watching over them, but also God’s words of grace to guide them.

    The “word of his grace” that Paul speaks of are the same words of grace we find in our Bible’s today. Grace is the unmerited favor of God. This grace is not only our foundation of eternal hope, but also our way of life here on earth. This love of God will help build us up and draw us close together with other believers. Open the book of love and listen to God’s words of grace today. 

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Are you listening for the voice of God?

Daily Reading – Job 13-16 / Acts 20

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

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.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Will you meet with a Church this week?

Daily Reading – Job 9-12 / Acts 19:21-41

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 19:24-25 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen; Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  All too often, we find men and women who are like old Demetrius in Acts 19 alive and well today. He was worried that if people believed in Christ, his wealth and that of the community might be in danger. That if a person is saved, they might quit buying things he sells. He sold idols, but it could be alcohol, pornography, or anything offensive to God. I pray that would be true.

  The problem is that people today, like Demetrius, do not understand where real wealth lies. You can have all the money in the world and end up eternally in Hell. Mark 8:36 says; For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Even earthly goods are owned by God.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Ask yourself, who really owns, and is able to control everything?

Daily Reading – Job 5-8 / Acts 19:1-20

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 confessed 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 our 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?

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 re-read those passages for today’s reading. God has given to your Pastor exactly what He desires for you on that day.

Daily Reading – Job 1-4 / Acts 18

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 he was teaching 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?
