What To Do Today

APRIL 4, 2022
Daily Reading – Joshua 1-3 / Luke 6:1-19

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Luke 6:9 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

     Jesus said, “I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?” This is a good rule of thumb every day for all who know Christ as our Saviour.

     What will you do with today? Will you do good or evil. Will you live a life to glorify God or to elevate self and the world? How we answer the second part of the question may depend on how we answer the first part. Whether we save a life or destroy it.

     See if we live a life to glorify God, people who are watching us will then see God in us. It may save their life eternally if they see in us something different from the world. However, if they see the same in us as they do in the world, why would they turn to Christ? It may very well destroy them eternally.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

What will you do with today?

Two Calls

APRIL 02 & 03, 2022
Daily Reading – Deuteronomy 32–34 / Luke 5:27-39
Daily Reading – No Reading on Sunday

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

uke 5:31-32 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

      In today’s verses, we see two calls. Jesus said, “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Why was that? It was because, if a person is already saved, they are whole. They are already a new creation in Christ who will search to grow in Him. The unsaved, the sin sick, need help.

   The second call may not be as obvious. However, we see Jesus knowing exactly what He is called to do. He does not get distracted by others suggesting what would be best. Jesus knew His calling here on earth.

     We also have two calls. The first call is vocal, given to the ears of all who will listen. The second is a call to our hearts, to go into all the world and make the first call.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Are these callings clear in your life?

A Crowd Of ONE

APRIL 01, 2022
Daily Reading – Deuteronomy 29-31 / Luke 5:1-26

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Luke 5:15-16 But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities. And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    It seems today the Mega-Church is what everyone craves. The bigger congregations have more finances to fund bigger stage productions and events, therefore they get a lot of attention.

     I am in no way condemning their efforts to get the gospel out by every means possible. However, Jesus did not desire the presence of a crowd. Jesus enjoyed a Crowd of ONE!

     In today’s verses we find multitudes of people coming to see Jesus. What did Jesus do? He withdrew to a quiet place to be alone with His Father, God. He knew His best moments were not in the crowd of thousands, but rather in the Crowd of ONE. When the masses go their way, the Crowd of ONE is always there.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Which crowd will draw your attention today?

Our Reason To Be!

MARCH 31, 2022
Daily Reading – Deuteronomy 28 / Luke 4:14-44

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Luke 4:43 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Jesus often said, I am here to do “my Father’s business,” or “the will of Him who sent me.” Jesus was obedient to all the Father asked of Him.

    In today’s verse, He tells a group of people who wanted Him to remain and teach them more that He had to go and could not stay. He said, “I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.”

    Today there is an untold number of bible studies going on daily. Actually, I think Bible studies are great. However, if all we do is learn more and more but never give out the gospel message, we are not fulfilling the reason we are here. We must, as Jesus did, preach the Kingdom of God to others also.

    Mark 16:15 says; “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” 

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Is not sharing Christ our reason to be here?

Take Care Of My Son

March 30, 2022
Daily Reading – Deuteronomy 25-27 / Luke 3:23-4:13

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Luke 3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

      Three little words in the middle of this verse reminds us of the care Joseph gave in raising Jesus. (“As was supposed.”) Everyone around still supposed, after 30 years, that Jesus was Joseph’s son. That would not have happened if Joseph had treated Jesus different from his other children. Joseph realized his lot in life. To care for, love, and lead Jesus to adulthood. When God chose Joseph to be the stepfather of Jesus, He was in essence saying, Joseph, take care of my Son. Make sure He has a good name in the community.

      When God saved us by giving His Son Jesus to die for us, He is kind of telling us the same thing. Take care of my Son’s name in all that you do. Make sure He has a good name in the community.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

     What are you doing with the name of Jesus today?
