Sit With Me

JULY 6, 2026
Daily Reading—2 Chron. 31-33 / Acts 9:20-43

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 8:30-31 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    With all the versions of the Bible out there, which all claim to simplify and modernize the language, you would think that the Bible would be totally distributed to everyone and completely understood. Yet today, there is more Bible illiteracy than you might imagine. Many people have a bible; some even read it on occasion. Yet they do not seem to understand it.

    Philip came upon a man who had God’s Word, was reading it, but did not understand it. He asked Philip, “Sit with me,” or in other words, teach me. There are many people today just like him. People who have a Bible. People you could help with understanding, but they are afraid to ask. Maybe all they need is someone to ask them a Bible question and take time to sit with them.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Who do you know that you might ask?

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

When We Are Really Free

JULY 4 & 5, 2026
Daily Reading—2 Chron. 28-30 / Acts 9:1-19

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 7:55-56 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Today, on July Fourth in the United States, we celebrate the Independence of our Country. Free to live apart from any other country’s rule or control. This is a freedom that many men and women have given their lives to defend. We thank them for their sacrifice.

 

    In today’s verse, Stephen saw his freedom at hand. It says He looked up and saw Jesus standing at the right hand of God. One day, we as believers will also see Jesus standing at the right hand of the Father. Today, if you are saved, you have been set free from the penalty and the price of sin. We will be really free when we are also set free from the presence of sin.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Can we take time today to thank the One who died for that total freedom?

WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:

     On Sundays, we encourage you to attend your local church and listen intently to what God has prepared in your pastor’s heart. 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.

They Understood Not

JULY 3, 2026
Daily Reading—2 Chron. 24-27 / Acts 8

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 7:25 For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Poor ol’ Moses. He smote an Egyptian, saved the Israelite boy, and still, the Jewish boys did not like him. It has long been said that Egypt in the Bible is a picture of this sinful world. God brought Israel out of Egypt, just as He brings those who come to know Him as Saviour out of sin and the world. Moses was trying to help, but the verse said, “they understood not.”

 

    At times, when we try to help people break free from sin and the world, they turn on us. Why is that? Well, for the same reason, they understand not. Moses did finally lead Israel out of Egypt, but it took time. Friends, let’s not give up on those bound and enslaved by the world and sin. They may not understand why we do it, but we must keep on trying.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Isn’t their eternal destiny worth our continued efforts?
