JULY 4, 2022
Daily Reading – 2 Chron. 21-23 / Acts 7:30-60

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 7:55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

     Today on the Fourth of July in the United States, we celebrate the Independence of our Country. Free to live apart from any other country’s rule or control. This is a freedom that many a man and woman have given their life to defend. We thank them for their sacrifice.

     In today’s verse, Stephen saw his freedom at hand. It says He looked up and saw Jesus standing at the right hand of God. One day we as believers will also see Jesus standing at the right hand of the Father.

     Today if you are saved, you have been set free from the penalty and the price of sin. We will be really free when we are also set free from the presences of sin.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Will you believe God can and will help you with your faith?

JULY 2 & 3, 2022
Daily Reading – 2 Chron. 18-20 / Acts 7:1-29

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 7:25 For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

     Poor ol Moses. He smote an Egyptian, saved the Israelite boy, and still, the Jewish boys did not like him. It has long been said that Egypt in the Bible is a picture of this sinful world. God brought Israel out of Egypt, just as He brings those who come know Him as Saviour out of sin and the world. Moses was trying to help, but the verse said, “they understood not.”

     At times, when we try to help people break free from sin and the world, they turn on us. Why is that? Well, for the same reason, they understand not. Moses did finally lead Israel out of Egypt, but it took time. Friends let’s not give up on those bound and enslaved by the world and sin. They may not understand why we do it, but we must keep on trying

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Is not their eternal destiny worth our continued efforts?

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.

Hebrews 2:12

JULY 1, 2022
Daily Reading – 2 Chron. 14-17 / Acts 6

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 6:3-4 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

     Today in the church, it seems increasingly difficult to find men who will step up to do the Lord’s work. OK, we must be honest, it is hard to get them to church. Then we wonder why our country is in the condition it is in. We need men to be Godly men, and wives to encourage them to be so. I wonder if today we could find seven men to fill the roles outline in Acts 6.

     It reminds me of Abraham speaking to God about the destruction of Sodom when he said in Genesis 18:32 “And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.”

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

I wonder if we asked God,
“Lord, if for seven?”
Would He find seven?

JUNE 30, 2022
Daily Reading – 2 Chron. 10-134 / Acts 5:29-42

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 5:41-42 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

     If you were to pick the number one reason, why people do not go soul winning or share their faith what might it be? Lack of time? Well, that is really an excuse more than a reason. People find time to do anything they really want to do. Lack of finances? Probably not as it costs nothing to share your faith. Well, nothing except your ego. The main reason people do not share Christ is the thought of being ridiculed for their faith.

     Rejoice! What a great crowd you have joined if you are ever ridiculed. It happened to Jesus, the Disciples, and many others. Acts 5:41-42 tells us how to react to such ridicule. Rejoice to be worthy first, and then, just keep sharing.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Isn’t the soul of those you do reach worth the enduring
a few who may poke fun?

JUNE 29, 2022
Daily Reading – 2 Chron. 7-9 / Acts 5:1-28

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 5:28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  The disciples were tossed in prison with guards placed outside. Yet God decided to release them. Did He harm the guards, or jail? No. In Acts 5:23 we find the jail and locks untouched, and the guards not harmed. Yet the prisoners were free.

  Those who had put them in jail brought them before the court and said, we told you not to preach about this Jesus. Then unwittingly they said, “and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.” As I read it, I thought, YES! That is exactly what we want to do. To have the blood of Jesus applied to the hearts of man. I know that is not what they meant, yet, I would say, if we can, we will.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Will you pray the sin cleansing blood of Christ would be applied to all who hear?
