Trust Him

March 14, 2022
Daily Reading – Numbers 26-27 / Mark 12:28-44

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 12:43-44 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

      Jesus made a point of calling His disciples over to see what this widow had done. Some take this as a financial lesson. That somehow, we are to give all our money to the church. However, the point of His lesson had little to do with the amount of money she gave.

      As she gave all she had, when others gave a little of their left-over wealth, Jesus wanted the disciples to see a deeper message than that of the money. His point was her faith. She totally trusted God would take care of her.

      Earlier in verse 30 Jesus told a man to love God with everything he has. His heart, mind, soul, and body. That person did not get what Jesus meant, but this widow woman did. Jesus wanted the disciples to see real faith.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

The question is, do we see it today?

The Great Foundation

MARCH 12 & 13, 2022
Daily Reading – Numbers 23-25 / Mark 12:1- 27
Daily Reading – No Reading on Sunday

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 12:10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

         Jesus was telling the Jewish religious leaders of the day that He knew they had rejected the prophets of old and they would also reject, and eventually kill Him. He then says, “The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner.” In other words, you might reject me now, but someday you will find I am the foundation of all real life.

     Many people still today reject Jesus as people did back then. There are those who put their faith in other religions and false gods. Some believe in wealth and status for life.

     However, there will come a day when every knee bows to Christ and will realize, He is the Cornerstone of life eternal.

Whom Do You Fear Most?

MARCH 11, 2022
Daily Reading – Numbers 21-22 / Mark 11

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 11:31-32 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him? But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

      Isn’t it amazing how far psychologically we have NOT come? You would think after thousands of years of God proving Himself in so many ways to be real, reliable, and also righteous, that we would choose God over man every time.

      The problem is people want God to be a loving God, and He is, but they do not want Him to be a righteous God, because that means He must judge sin. Then, just as the people in today’s text, too often we are more concerned with what man may think of us, than what God already knows about us.

      It is time we begin to show some Holy Fear. Another way to say that would be we should show reverence toward a Holy God.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Are not what God thinks more important
than what people may or may not think?

Not Everyone Makes It

March 10, 2022
Daily Reading – Numbers 19-20 / Mark 10:32-52


WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 10:45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

      There is a mindset today, which claims that everyone is going to heaven. Even many religious leaders in recent years have said that even atheists who do good will get into heaven. Their reasoning is that Jesus died to redeem us all.

     While in essence, it is true that Jesus died to redeem the world, Jesus says in today’s verse He was giving his life a ransom for many, but not all.

      The lie being told to the world today, that they do not have to put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ as their own personal Lord and Saviour, is sending untold millions to hell with a false hope. Jesus is still the only way to Heaven.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

    How can we better get the truth of the gospel out into a lost and confused world?

Love The Little Children

MARCH 9, 2022
Daily Reading – Numbers 16-18 / Mark 10:1-31

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 10:13-14 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.


WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

     Oh, the hallowed halls of the church house. Dare not the children speak too loudly, run, or Lord forbid he or she might whistle.

    I have been in churches where this is the case. Most of these churches today have no children left because of the churches “children are to be seen and not heard,” policies.

    I am not advocating letting children do as they please and never teaching them to mind. I am however saying, THEY ARE CHILDREN!

    Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world. It is still true today. We need to love them to Jesus, not herd them like cattle.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

What might you do this week at your church to let the children know they are loved by you, the church, and most of all by God?
