Daily Reading – Psa. 58-64 / Rom. 8

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  Remember the kids saying, “my daddy’s bigger than your daddy?” Children would tell of all the almost superhuman things their daddy could do. Once that child finished, the next one would top it until the stories became outrageous. Some claiming their daddy could lift cars or fly through the air. Just silliness. Or is it?

  Romans 8:31 says, “…If God be for us, who can be against us?” As Christians, our Heavenly Father loves us more than we can possibly imagine. No matter how huge our situation or trial is, God is bigger. For Christians, this present world is as bad as it gets for us. Eternity with Him will be so great. Oh, and by the way, My Heavenly Father can lift cars and can fly!

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Who, or what should we fear with God on our side?

Daily Reading – Psa. 52-57 / Rom. 7

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Romans 7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

      Time and again we have seen a couple meet, fall in love, marry, and not long after, they are announcing a new life in their home. A child is born from their love and relationship. God’s Word calls this being fruitful. After the flood, God told Noah’s family Genesis 9:1b… “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.”

      When we accepted Christ as Saviour, we became part of the Bride of Christ. Paul said here in Romans 7:4 we are dead to the law and married to Christ. He then adds, “that we should bring forth fruit unto God.” He is talking about us reproducing ourselves. How? By sharing the gospel with others and winning them to Christ.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Shouldn’t our love relationship with the Lord cause us to be fruitful and reproduce too?

Daily Reading – Psa. 48-51 / Rom. 6

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Romans 6:15-16 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

        I remember meeting with the pulpit committee of the church I currently pastor. One man, concerned with my beliefs asked, “Do you believe in once saved always saved?” I said, “I sure do.” He said, “You mean to tell me you think you can get saved and live any way you want to?” I said, “Yup!” His mouth almost hit the floor. Then I added, “I believe you can live any way you want to, but I also believe that your “Want To” changes when you get saved.” (P. S. That man is a good friend and deacon today.)

     Paul was asking the church, should we sin because we are not under the law? His answer, “God forbid.” Why not, because our “Want To” has changed.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Do you remember the day your “Want To” changed?

JULY 13 & 14, 2022
Daily Reading – Psa. 42-47 / Rom. 5

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  I meet people all the time who somehow believe they need to clean up their lives before they can be saved. They think they must quit drinking, smoking, drugs, cussing, or something before God would accept them. Even worse are those who accept Christ as Saviour, and then try to work to keep themselves saved. Hey folks, we will never be good enough to be saved.

  What a joy to know that in Romans 5 it says God loved us so much, that even while we were still in our sin, Christ died for us. Once we accept Christ, then God begins the cleansing process. I like the fishing analogy I heard about winning people to the Lord. It went; “we catch them, God cleans them.”

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

I am so glad we don’t have to pre-qualify people, aren’t you?

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.

AUGUST 12, 2022
Daily Reading – Psa. 37-41 / Rom. 4

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Romans 4:20-22 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  When I was little, we would play a kind of silly game. We would place a bat, tip on the ground, standing up with the handle toward the sky. Next, we would place our forehead on the bat handle and then spin around and around, then let go and try to walk. Needless to say, we were dizzy and staggering everywhere. We had no control of it until the dizziness wore off.

  Many people today are living dizzy lives. They run round and round in circles from one quick fix in life to another. Then wonder why their life is staggering back and forth. If God is the center of our life, and we make Him the answer to life’s situations, the staggering will stop. Abraham staggered not at the promises of God.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Will you believe that this faith will work for you?
