Now Or Later
MAY 26, 2026
Daily Reading—1 Kings 18-19 / John 8:1-30
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
John 6:26-27 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
Things! People want things that they can see and hold. A belief is hard to show off, but a boat is another story. It has always been this way. Often, this is the reason people miss heaven. They want things from God that they can see. Things like money, homes, cars, and the like. When they feel that God is not giving them what they want, they feel they do not need Him.
Jesus warned of this attitude in John 6:26 & 27. He said, You only come to me for food. He went on to say, Don’t work so hard for things you can see, for they will perish. Today, we too often are consumed with the NOW, and forget to thank and praise Him for the LATER.
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
Can we put aside the NOW for today and just thank God for the LATER He has promised?
IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:
Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this passage and today’s devotion?
Within this reading, do I find a CHALLENGE for my life?
What actions will I take today or this week to meet this CHALLENGE?
