OCTOBER 8 & 9, 2022
Daily Reading – Isa. 11-14 / Eph. 4

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  As believers, we are never alone in this world. Even when we are alone, we are still not alone. God said He would never leave us. He does that through His Holy Spirit dwelling in us 24 hours a day, every day.

  Once we realize God is with us all the time, it should make a big difference in what we do, think, read, and say. If how we live might bring sorrow and grief to God, why would we want to do it? Paul said, “grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.” In verses before, and after this statement, he shares things that bring sorrow to the Holy Spirit who is always with us, sealing us until we go home to be with God.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Reading Eph. 4:25-32, is it possible we may have grieved Him lately?

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.

OCTOBER 7, 2022
Daily Reading – Isa. 8-10 / Eph. 3

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Ephesians 3:20-21 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  As we read Ephesians 3:20-21, we realize that God, through Paul, was writing to churches through all ages, and therefore, writing to us, the church today. What is God saying to us today? He says, I am close to you.

    Paul points out the marvel of who God is. He is “able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think.” As I read it, I hear God saying, “You cannot even imagine all of who I am or what I am able to do.” He adds, “according to the power that worketh in us.” Do you realize how close God is to us? He is in us and able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think, in and through us. “Unto Him be glory in the church” is an understatement. 

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Isn’t it great to know this awesome God will never leave us?

Daily Reading – Isa. 5-7 / Eph. 2

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  People are always trying to find new ways to get and/or to keep their salvation. Either by the things that they do, or religious acts that they keep. I love Ephesians 2:8-9 because it tells it like it is.

  It says, “For by Grace are ye saved.” Grace is God giving us what we do not deserve. We do not deserve to be saved from hell as all have sinned and come short of His glory. Paul also says salvation is, “Not of yourselves,” emphasized with, “Not of works, lest any man should boast.” That clearly removes anything I might do, whether it be a good deed or religious act. He shares we are saved through faith in God’s gift. It is faith in Christ and that alone.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Isn’t it great to know God saves us and not we ourselves?

Hebrews 2:12

OCTOBER 5, 2022
Daily Reading – Isa. 1-4 / Eph. 1

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

      One of my favorite hymns in church is, “This world Is Not My home.” For every believer, this is so true. We no longer have a citizenship here on earth. Our citizenship is really in heaven. It has been said, we are pilgrims on a journey toward a heavenly home. On this journey, God has blessed us in Heavenly places.

     Where are those places? They are, “In Christ.” After accepting Christ as Saviour, we were placed in Him. His Holy Spirit is not only in us, but also seals us until Jesus returns for us. What a blessing to know we are secure, are forgiven, have an inheritance, we are adopted, and we are blessed, “in Christ.” All because He went back to heaven to secure all those blessings for us.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Isn’t it great to know you are so blessed?

OCTOBER 4, 2022
Daily Reading – Song of So. 5-8 / Gal. 6

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

        Does it matter what you do? People have pondered this question for ages. Asking, “Who does it hurt if I do this or that?” Or “It is none of their business what I do.” Another is, “No one cares what I do anyway.”

      Does it matter what you do? YES, it absolutely does. Who does it hurt? Often our actions may hurt God. It is no one’s business, no one cares? Our life is God’s business, and He does care.

     Also, we are impacted by how we live. The Bible says we harvest what our life plants. God is not mocked. We cannot claim to be Christians and have no difference between our lives and that of the world. It is simple, if you plant corn, you should expect corn to grow.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

What seeds will your life plant today?
What harvest do you plan to reap?
