Before Jesus

MARCH 25, 2026
Daily Reading—Deuteronomy 15-17 /  Luke 2:1-24

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Luke 1:76-77 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

   

In Luke, chapter one, we find the birth of John the Baptist. His father, Zacharias, has been mute for the entire pregnancy. As soon as his son is born, God releases his tongue to speak. His first words are praise for God. Then he lays out a path of service for his son John toward the Lord. He says, You will go before the Lord to prepare His way and give knowledge of salvation by the remission of sin.

    This is truly our mandate as believers as well. That from the day we accepted Christ as Saviour, we might go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Preparing for the Lord’s return and giving them knowledge of salvation by the remission of their sin through Christ.

Magnified

MARCH 24, 2026
Daily Reading—Deuteronomy 12-14 /  Luke 1:57-80

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Luke 1:46-47 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

   

When I was a young boy, I remember getting a magnifying glass. I was amazed at how it made everything under it look so big. Things I could hardly see with my natural eye became so evident and clear under the power of this magnifying glass.

    Mary, in today’s verse, said, “My soul doth magnify the Lord.” Mary was saying, Let my life make God look bigger. That should be our prayer in life as well. Let all that I do make God look bigger. Let my actions, words, and lifestyle bring clearly into view the will of the Lord in whom I rejoice.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

In our lives today, how might we be used to magnify the Lord?
Will people see Him clearly today because of us?

The Impossible Is Possible

MARCH 23, 2026
Daily Reading—Deuteronomy 9-11 /  Luke 1:39-56

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    “For with God nothing shall be impossible.” When you say things like this, there are always people who ask silly questions. Like, “If God can do anything, can He make a rock so big He can’t lift it?” My answer is, “If He does, I hope He makes it over your head.”

    Today’s verse does not challenge God’s powers or abilities. It says that man, WITH God, can do anything. First, you need to be WITH GOD. Next, if you were with God, you would never challenge His sovereignty to do His will. In context, humanity cannot have birth without a male and female contribution. Nor do women, after a certain age, naturally give birth. However, with God, all that might seem impossible is possible.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

What impossible things have come your way?
Are you watching for His miracle-working powers?

Why Do We Need Proof?

MARCH 21 & 22, 2026
Daily Reading—Deuteronomy 6-8 /  Luke 1:1-38

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Luke 1:20 And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist, was stricken dumb from the time he was told he would have a son until he was born. Was it for a sign? Well, yes, it was a sign that what the angel had said was true. But why did he need a sign? Our verse today tells us. “Because thou believest not my words.”

    Jesus’ life, death, burial, and resurrection are the signs of God’s commitment to our salvation. Yet even with this clear sign of the love of God toward us, there are still many who believe not the words of God. The Bible says faith comes by hearing, not seeing. 

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Should the God who created us, sustains us, supplies our every need,
and prepared a place for us eternally; need somehow to prove Himself to us?

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.
