The Seed

APRIL 8, 2026
Daily Reading—Joshua 15-17 /  Luke 8:41-56

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Luke 8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

   It is that time of year when people begin to plan what their garden and landscaping will look like. At least that’s what we hope it will look like. Once we plan, we then must plant the seeds. However, you cannot just plant any seeds and hope to grow a daisy. You must purchase daisy seeds, put them in good soil, and plant them as instructed in order to grow healthy daisies.

    Many people today believe that people are just going to somehow get saved. That they will somehow go to heaven when they die. However, if you want to see the life of Christ in a person, you need to first plant the right seed. Our verse today says the seed that Jesus spoke of, which brought about real eternal life, is the Word of God. Some things never change. God’s Word is one of them.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

What are you planting this year?

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

A Little Or A Lot 

APRIL 7, 2026
Daily Reading—Joshua 12-14 /  Luke 8:1-40

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Luke 7:47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    How much do we love God? According to today’s passage in Luke, it may depend on how much we think we were forgiven. If we think we are not that bad and that God only had to forgive just a little bit of sin to save us, we may only love God a little. However, if we ever get the true picture of the sinfulness of our souls, when God, through the precious blood of His Son, washed away our sins, we will love Him greatly. We must remember, at our best, we are as filthy rags before the perfect righteousness of a Holy God.

    Imagine a white shirt. Now spill gravy on just one spot. What shows up, the clean shirt or the spot? It is the filthiness of the spot that gets the attention. Is the shirt now clean or dirty? It takes very little sin for us to be totally filthy.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

How much do you love God now?

What To Do Today

APRIL 4 & 5, 2026
Daily Reading—Joshua 7-9 /  Luke 7:1-35

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 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.

Two Calls

APRIL 3, 2026
Daily Reading—Joshua 4-6 /  Luke 6:20-49

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Luke 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:

    Today’s verses say Jesus was not honored in His own country. Many pastors have looked for ministries away from where they grew up for this reason. However, read it again. Not only was He not honored in His own country, but also in His own house. It may have been that they were too familiar with Jesus to see what God wanted to do through Him.

    Many today have walked away from God’s House, the church, and fellowship. They feel they have heard it, seen it, and do not need any more. However, could it be that in doing so, they are not honoring Jesus again in His own house? He just might use them if they stayed.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

What might He do in our do?

What Were You Thinking?

APRIL 2, 2026
Daily Reading—Joshua 1-3 /  Luke 6:1-19

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Luke 5:22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Have you ever witnessed someone do something crazy and thought, “What were you thinking?” The question may be rhetorical, and by it, you are simply saying, “You must not be thinking clearly, because, if you thought this through, you would not have done that.” On the other hand, it may be a serious question as you wonder, “What were you thinking?”

    When Jesus asked, “What reason ye in your hearts,” Jesus knew the men’s thoughts. He did not need to ask them, “What were you thinking?” He knew. God also knows the thoughts and intents of our hearts today. Hebrews 4:12 says the Word of God will help us decide in life how we might act upon our thoughts and intents.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Is what you’re doing in life causing God to rhetorically ask, “What were you thinking?”
