Feeling A Little Hungry

FEBRUARY 2, 2026
Daily Reading—Exodus 17-19 /  Matthew 21:1-22

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 21:18-19 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    There are those who claim Jesus was not deity, not God. There are others who claim He was not a real man but rather God in the figure of a man. I believe today’s passage shows He was all God and all man.

     When I rise in the morning, I am hungry. It is part of the human side of us, saying we need to refuel to be productive throughout the day. Some will eat more or less than others, but most feel the need to eat something. So did the man Jesus. However, Jesus used this opportunity to teach an eternal lesson by withering a fig tree. Yeah, I cannot do that. However, Jesus, being all God and all man, could. Jesus asked the disciples on another occasion, Who do you say I am?. Today, we might ask ourselves the same thing.

   

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Who do we say Jesus is? God, Man, or 100% both?

Still Looking

JANUARY 31 & February 1, 2026
Daily Reading—Exodus 15-16 /  Matthew 20

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 20:5-6 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    As I read the parable in Matthew 20, I find something written there that we often overlook. Most see the end of the parable where the master gives to each the same, regardless of the time spent working. We all know His rewards are His to hand out as He sees fit, and that He is a fair and loving God. However, did you notice in verses 1-6, He was always looking for more idle folks to bless with work to do and payment for their labor? He never quit searching for just a few more.

    God is still daily searching for just a few more to work in His harvest fields. He will be fair to all who answer that call.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Are you involved in His field today or idle?

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, reread those passages for today’s reading. God has given your pastor exactly what He desires for you to have on that day.

A Cent For A Soul

JANUARY 26, 2026
Daily Reading – Exodus 1-3 /  Matthew 16

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

 

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  We live in a very materialistic society today. We all want the newest electronic gadgets, such as phones, computers, televisions, etc. Yet to get the newest costs a premium price. Then, within just a few months, they are worth half the amount because technology has moved on to something presumed to be better.

 

    Isn’t it good to know the soul of man has the same value today as always? The price of a soul has been the blood of Christ as long as man has been alive. It holds the same value today. Yet all too often, people devalue their lives in exchange for a few dollars and cents. Their life is given to careers, wealth, or fame, instead of to God. 

   

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

What would you give in exchange for your soul?

So Many To Feed

JANUARY 24 & 25, 2026
Daily Reading—Genesis 49-50 /  Matthew 15:21-39

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Psalm 1:1-2 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    As the disciples looked out over the crowd following Jesus, they saw an impossible task. What Jesus was asking them to do, reason and logic said, they did not have enough food to do it. At the same time, they did not want to tell Jesus no. So, they did the right thing. They asked Jesus, How can we possibly do such a thing? There are so many to feed. What Jesus answered them also included them, and they did it.

    As we look into a world today filled with sin, we might think to ourselves, There is no way spiritually to feed so many souls. However, if God asked us to do it, He surely has a plan. We should be asking Him, how can we possibly do such a thing?

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

When He answers you, and it includes you, will you do it?

G.I.G.O.

JANUARY 19, 2026
Daily Reading—Genesis 38-39 /  Matthew 12:38-50

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 12:36-37 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  Way too often, I have heard people make excuses for what they listen to by way of music, or watch on TV and movies, or read in literature. They make claims such as “It’s just a movie,” “It’s just a song,” or “It’s just a book.” However, the truth is that whatever we allow in our hearts and minds will in some way show up in our lives and eventually come out of our mouths.

    Computer geek programmers have a term they use, “GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT.” It means if you want good results out of your program, you must put good programming in. Your brain is the most powerful computer ever designed. One day, you will give an account for every word programmed into it.

   

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

    What are you going to allow to be put into your mind today?
