There Is Always A Critic

MAY 20, 2022
Daily Reading – 1 Kings 6-7 / John 5:1-27

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

John 5:9-10 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath. The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

     If you knew someone who had a crippling illness for 38 years and then was made well what would be your first comment to them? Would you criticize the crumpled clothes they wore? Point out that they might want to shave and comb their hair? No, you would most likely be overjoyed that they were healed. Yet this is what was happening in today’s text and the first thing he is confronted with is, you are breaking a rule.

     Too often we as believers have become so rule oriented that we miss the blessings of God on people’s lives. Instead of taking some time to rejoice with them, we immediately tell them what they need to do next. While we may think we are helping, we are at the same time missing all the joy of the moment.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Shouldn’t we just enjoy God’s blessing with others first?

The Man Believed

MAY 19, 2022
Daily Reading – 1 Kings 3-5 / John 4:39-54

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

John 4:49-50 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

     I love this story of the man whose son was almost to die. He found Jesus and asked Him to come with him to heal his son. Jesus said, “Go thy way; thy son liveth.” I love the next line. “And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him.” No asking for proof, no additional begging, no doubts of what was said, he simply believed the word of Jesus.

     Too often, it seems as though people want God to prove Himself to them before they will believe. Jesus says, believe and you will see many wonderful things. I wonder how many people will never accept Christ or see His wondrous work in their life because they got it backwards?

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Will you simply believe His Word?

They Knew He Was Coming

MAY 18, 2022
Daily Reading – 1 Kings 1-2 / John 4:1-38

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

John 4:25-26 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  People often wonder about salvation in the Old Testament, compared with salvation in the New Testament. It is really the same thing. Salvation is by faith in Christ no matter when you are saved. We today look back to the cross of Calvary and Christ, the Messiah, who died for us there. The people of the Old Testament looked to a coming Messiah, as we see by the woman at the well’s statement to Jesus.

  They knew He was coming because their scriptures had told them so. We know He is coming again because of the same truths written for us in God’s Word. They were waiting, watching, and looking for His appearance.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Are we looking for Him to come?

Going The Wrong Way

MAY 17, 2022
Daily Reading – 2 Samuel 23-24 4 / John 3

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

John 3:17-18 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

      I saw on the news a while back a story and video of a man who was drinking and driving on the wrong side of the highway. Although everything was coming his way, he appeared not to realize he was in the wrong. It ended in a fiery crash that took his life.

      Jesus did not come to the world to condemn people; they are already heading down the wrong way of life. By heading that way, they are condemned already. Jesus came to be the flashing light in their eyes to warn them. If they will see the warning and turn from their sin to Him, He will save them. Otherwise, there is bound to be a fiery crash at the end of their life. The bible says, “let your light so shine.”

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Will you help shine the light of Jesus to warn someone today?

There Was A Marriage

MAY 16, 2022
Daily Reading – 2 Samuel 21-22 / John 2

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

John 2:1-2 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  According to John 2:11 Jesus’ first recorded miracle was performed at a wedding. Jesus being present and aiding in the celebration shows His support for the covenant relationship that today is in question by many. In Genesis 2:24 God began the first institution of marriage when He calls Adam to cleave to his wife.

  Marriage is just another of the biblical blessings the world is trying to destroy. They have attacked the life of the unborn, school prayer, biblical inscriptions in many public places, and now marriage. Many couples ask why should we marry? How about because in Hebrews 13:4 God says Marriage in honorable and only the marriage bed is undefiled?

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Will you join in prayer today for the institution of marriage, families, and the home as God designed it to be?
