Not Too Confusing Really

SEPTEMBER 12 & 13, 2026
Daily Reading—Pro. 12-13 / 1 Co. 16

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    I have heard people say things like, “I do not understand the Bible,” or “I cannot figure out God’s will.” Yet the Bible says God is not the author of confusion. So, who is right, God, or those claiming they are confused? Well, we all know the answer to that one. God is always right. ALWAYS!

 

    God never said we would not be confused. He simply stated He is not causing the confusion. So then, if we are confused, the best thing to do would be to run to the one who promised not to author confusion. If we do not understand something in His Word, maybe we need to study a bit more. If we have not found God’s will in a matter, we must search until we do.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

You do know God has an answer for everything, right?

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this passage and today’s devotion?

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

What actions will I take today or this week to meet this CHALLENGE?

WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:

     On Sundays, we encourage you to attend your local church and listen intently to what God has prepared in your pastor’s heart. 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.

Put Your Toys Away

SEPTEMBER 11, 2026
Daily Reading—Pro. 10-11 / 1 Co. 15

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Over and over, I remember as a child hearing my mom and dad say, “Put your toys away.” I hated hearing that. It meant I had to go upstairs, pick up all the toys, even the ones my sister had taken out, and put them in the toy box. Yet, here is something I find strange. I cannot remember the last time I did that. I do not have an anniversary on my calendar for the last day that I played with my toys. It was something I outgrew a desire for and walked away from.

 

    Our maturity in our Christian walk should be much the same. There should be things we look back on and say, “I do not remember when, but I spiritually outgrew that.” If not, we must ask ourselves a serious question.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Are we spiritually growing up at all?

I Wanted That!

SEPTEMBER 10, 2026
Daily Reading—Pro. 8-9 / 1 Co. 14 

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

1 Corinthians 12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Have you ever watched children in a room with toys? One child will pick a toy and be content. When another child comes into the room and picks up another toy, often the first child will want that one. It did not appear appealing until they saw someone else enjoying it.

 

    Too often, church members are like little children. They are happy using the gift God has given them until they see someone else enjoying how God has gifted them. Then they think they want that gift instead. If they try to do whatever they were not gifted to do, they soon find it not so enjoyable and become miserable. Why? Because that is not what God gifted them to do.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Wouldn’t we find life more enjoyable if we could just enjoy serving God with the gifts He gave us?

What Did You Come For?

SEPTEMBER 9, 2026
Daily Reading—Pro. 6-7 / 1 Co. 13

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

1 Corinthians 11:17-18 Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse. For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    I heard a story of a man and his wife talking on their ride home from church. The wife said to her husband, “Did you see Miss Margaret’s new hat?” The husband replied, “Uh, no, I guess I missed it.” She said, “Oh, well, did you see Mr. Bill’s new suit?” He again replied, “Well, no, I guess I missed that too.” She turned and sternly said, “What do you even go to church for?”

   
The sad truth is that many people go to church for the wrong reasons. Some go to gawk at others, some to gossip with others, and some to grumble about others. Paul addresses this in 1 Cor. 11:17-18. He said if you go for the wrong reason, “I praise you not.” Going for the wrong reasons will cause divisions, not delight.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

For what reason do you go to church?

It Is Not Uncommon

SEPTEMBER 80, 2026
Daily Reading—Pro. 4-5 / 1 Co. 12

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Paul begins this chapter of 1 Corinthians 10, telling the readers, “I would not that ye should be ignorant.” As he goes on, he speaks of the many things the children of Israel did way back when they left Egypt and wandered in the desert on their way to the Promised Land of Israel. He warns the church not to repeat the same mistakes in life that Israel made thousands of years ago. Did Paul think they had not learned anything over thousands of years? Yup!.

 

    In fact, these sins are not uncommon today. The temptations today may have undergone a facelift, yet underneath, they are still the same. Nevertheless, God is faithful to make a way to escape, just as He did back then.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Are we looking for the escape, or the excuse?
