Do You Hear Him?

JULY 29, 2026
Daily Reading—Job 30-31 / Acts 23

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 22:9 And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    I believe the saddest verse in Acts 22 is verse 9. Here, Paul retells of when God first spoke to him. He says all the men who were with him, “saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.” How sad, to be so close to the presence of God and not hear Him.

 

    I am afraid many people in the world today see the light of God as it glows in the hearts and lives of believers around them, yet they never hear the voice of God. They may see His light in the glow of church members, but never truly hear His voice. They read the words on pages of scripture yet never really hear His voice. Oh, friend, listen, pray, ask God through the Holy Spirit to speak clearly to your heart daily.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Will you be still enough today to hear Him speak?

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Within this reading, do I find a CHALLENGE for my life?

What are the things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?

The Missions Report

JULY 28, 2026
Daily Reading—Job 26-29 / Acts 22

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 21:18-19 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present. And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Paul had come back to tell the others what God had done through him on his mission’s journey. The believers listened with great curiosity to hear what God had done. Paul shared, one by one, every detail of the work of the Lord, and the people rejoiced to hear it.

 

    Today, we have Missionaries all over the world. Ambassadors of Christ and also Ambassadors of the church, going into all the world to preach the gospel of our loving Saviour. If we knit our hearts to theirs in prayer, then reading letters of report and seeing these missionaries in person when they come back brings great joy as we hear what God is doing through these faithful friends.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Will you lift a missionary to the Lord in prayer and join your heart to theirs today?

Words Of Grace

JULY 27, 2026
Daily Reading—Job 21-25 / Acts 21:18-40

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. He implied that 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 is the same word of grace we find in our Bibles 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?

What Day Do We Meet On?

July 25 & 26, 2026
Daily Reading—Job 17-20 / Acts 21:1-17

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 21:18-19 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present. And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.

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.

Will you meet with a Church this week?

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, reread those passages for today’s reading. God has given your pastor exactly what He desires for you to have on that day.

What Do You Value

JULY 24, 2026
Daily Reading—Job 13-16 / Acts 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 confess 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 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?
