They Just Don’t Believe It

JUNE 2, 2026
Daily Reading—2 Kings 9-10 / John 11:1-37

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

John 9:18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Isn’t it amazing when we read the story in John 9 how some who were standing there would not believe the testimony of the man himself? They could see that he who was blind could now see. He himself told them Jesus had come by and healed his sight. Yet they denied the proof of the truth standing right before them.

 

    Today, we have the same thing happening. People look at the lives of believers and see something different. When they ask how it happened, they are told, Jesus came by, gave me sight to see my sinful condition, then saved my soul, and changed my life. Yet they walk away in disbelief at what they can see is the truth. Do not let the world’s unbelief get you down.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Will you stand as a testimony of God’s work?

A Forward Faith

JUNE 1, 2026
Daily Reading—2 Kings 6-8 / John 10:22-42

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    As we look back on the cross of Calvary, knowing our salvation is by faith in Jesus, who died for our sin and then rose again the third day from the tomb, many wonder, how were Old Testament saints saved? They were saved the same way that we are. It is by faith. Our faith is in what Jesus did in the past at Calvary. Their faith was looking forward to His coming. Jesus said in John 8:56, “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.”

 

    Just as the Old Testament saints did, we too are looking forward. By faith, we are looking forward to His return. It is by faith in His Word that we believe this, just like they did many years ago.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Do you have a forward faith? Are you looking for His coming?

Do I Always Please Him?

MAY 30 & 31, 2026
Daily Reading—2 Kings 4-5 / John 10:1-21

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

John 8:29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    As a boy growing up, I was… well, let’s just say not always the best son. “Naughty” was a word that I seemed to hear a lot. As I grew into my teens, the word changed from “naughty” to “mischievous.” Then, as a young adult, he is a “troubled man.” In all these ways, I can say it did not please my earthly father.

    Then I accepted Christ as my Saviour. My earthly dad was so happy to see that day, as was my new Heavenly Father. Some old friends called me a faker. They soon saw I was not. Now, by most, I am called a Christian. A title of honor and responsibility. I cannot say I am perfect or always do things that please God, but I am trying, and that is my desire. 

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Whom do you desire to please? Self, Satan, or the Saviour?

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.

Division

MAY 29, 2026
Daily Reading—2 Kings 1-3 / John 9:24-41

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

John 7:43 So there was a division among the people because of him.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Throughout history, the name of Jesus has caused division. Micah 7:6 says that families would be divided because of Him. In Matthew 10:35-36, Jesus said, When you decide to follow me, there will be divisions among family and friends. Divisions.

 

    Jesus does not want families divided. However, when God created us with the freedom of choice, it was inevitable that some would choose to follow Christ and His gospel, while others would not. Today, nothing has changed. Solomon said it best in Ecclesiastes when he said, “There is no new thing under the sun.” Parents are heartbroken over children who do not follow Christ, as are some children for their parents. Yet we must never give up on sharing the gospel.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Won’t a Right Decision still stop Division?

What’s The Right Thing To Do

MAY 28, 2026
Daily Reading—1 Kings 22 / John 9:1-23

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

John 7:23-24 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    The Jewish religious leaders were angry with Jesus. Their anger stemmed from the fact that Jesus had worked on the Sabbath day by healing someone. According to them, you were not to do any type of work on the Sabbath Day. Jesus points out that they also work on the Sabbath day by fulfilling the law of circumcision. Then He said, Do not judge the work; judge what is the right thing to do.

 

    We are often too quick to judge others. We make determinations on what we see and may not know all the details behind what is happening.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Might we all be happier if we began to look at people with love instead of doubt?
