Healing For The Soul

JANUARY 17, 2022
Daily Reading – Genesis 31-32 / Matthew 11:1-19

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 11:4-5 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    We are genuinely concerned with our physical bodies these days. At this time of year, people make promises to themselves to eat right for better health, to exercise for longer life, and overall to try to take care of ourselves.

    When Jesus was telling Johns disciples to share the miracles they saw, He included sight, illness, hearing, walking, and life as all being important to man. Then He added in the same list of importance, “the poor have the gospel preached to them.” You see, the Gospel brings health to the soul of man.

    Today, more than everything else we need this healing of the soul. It is a miracle available today to all who will believe.
     

WHAT DO YOU SAY:

  Will you help work a miracle today in someone’s eternal life by sharing this healing Gospel?

It’s A War Of Wills

JANUARY 15 & 16, 2022
Daily Reading – Genesis 29-30 / Matthew 10
Daily Reading – No Reading on Sunday

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Over the years as I have read today’s verse, I saw a positive and negative. If you try to hold on to life, you lose all the benefits of following Christ. If you give up your hold on life, you find joy in this life and the life to come. I still believe this to be true. However, today as I read this verse, I saw another way of reading it.

    As I read, “He that findeth his life shall lose it:” I thought of a man who had found in his life that earthly holdings are futile. Fame, riches, pleasures all pass away. Therefore, he decides to give his life to God. So then when it says, “he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.” could be talking about the same guy. Either way you read this it still says, to enjoy this life and eternity we must surrender our life to God’s will.

WHAT DO YOU SAY:

What hold on life might you surrender today?

Look, Love, And Lead

JANUARY 14, 2022
Daily Reading – Genesis 27-28 / Matthew 9:18-38

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 9:36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

   When we read the verse today, we find that Jesus looked with compassion and love upon these people who followed Him. When He looked, he saw a people who over the years had been miss-led and miss-fed. They were worn and weary from following one idea and then another. All they needed was someone to give them the truth and lead them. He then says, the harvest is plenteous, “but the labourers are few.”

     Friend, today the world is the same as then. Led and fed the wrong things by wolves in sheep’s clothing. I can almost hear Jesus from heaven’s throne asking, will anyone step up and feed my sheep? Pastor? Evangelist? Sunday School Teacher? Mom or Dad?     

WHAT DO YOU SAY:

  Who will feed God’s Sheep?
Will You?

Still The Same Today

JANUARY 13, 2022
Daily Reading – Genesis 25-26 / Matthew 9:1-17

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 9:6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Such a simple statement from Jesus, yet still a struggle for many today. Jesus said He wanted them to know that He had the power to forgive sin on earth. Do you believe it?

     Many people act as though they believe God can forgive sin, but struggle with Him actually doing it in their lives. It is not that they do not believe He can, but they wonder if He did for them.

    Let me ask, why would Jesus come to a sin filled earth, shed His sinless blood on Calvary, be buried, raised from the dead, ascend back to heaven, sit down at the right hand of God, and then not forgive you? Wasn’t that the idea of his coming?

WHAT DO YOU SAY:

    What sin do you believe it is He cannot handle?
Will you believe?
