Do We Worship

MARCH 19, 2026
Daily Reading—Deuteronomy 2-3 /  Mark 15:24-47

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 15:19  And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

   It does not take a lot of study to know that those who stood around Jesus the day of His crucifixion did not care anything about the fact that He was the Son of God. Mark 15:19 says they hit Him, spit on Him, and worshipped Him. I am sure no one thinks they truly worshipped Him. It was a mocking gesture at best.

    As much as we may despise those who would treat our Lord in such a manner, we must consider our worship toward Him as well. To truly worship Him, our hearts must bow before Him. Every day, and in particular on our day of worship, He should be the main thought of the day.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

The question we must answer is, do we truly worship, or is it possible that we
merely make a gesture of worship?

Get Your Story Straight

MARCH 18, 2026
Daily Reading—Deuteronomy 1 /  Mark 15:1-23

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 14:57-59 And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying, We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands. But neither so did their witness agree together.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    One way law enforcement officials determine whether a group of people is telling the truth is by placing them in separate rooms and asking them about the same story. If their stories line up, there is a good chance they are telling the truth. If not, they are probably lying.

    The men accusing Christ in our verses could not get their stories straight. Why? because they were lying.

    The world needs to hear the truth about Jesus Christ. It is so great to have the Word of God, which never contradicts itself. All the authors, at various times and places, tell the same story in all 66 books of the Bible. Why? It is the truth.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Shouldn’t we thank God for the straight truth about His love and grace?

Are We Sleeping?

MARCH 17, 2026
Daily Reading—Numbers 34-36 /  Mark 14:43-72

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 14:37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

   

The disciples and Jesus had gone off into a quiet place where Jesus could pray. The hour was coming soon when He would lay down His life for all of mankind. In verse 34, He told the disciples of His agony and asked them to watch. Yet they fell asleep.

    We, as believers today, are also to watch. It means to be alert. Jesus knew what was coming, but the disciples did not. God knows today what is coming, but we do not. Could this be the day He might save a friend of ours? Could this be the day He sends Christ for the saints? We truly do not know. What we do know is that we are to be alert. Watching for His return.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

We all must ask ourselves from time to time, are we sleeping or alert and watching?

Is It I?

MARCH 16, 2026
Daily Reading—Numbers 32-33 /  Mark 14:17-42

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 14:18-19 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me. And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

   

You would think that after walking with Jesus, living with Him, serving, and trusting in Him, the disciples would know if they loved Him or not. That after three years, they might know in their hearts if they would betray Him. Yet Jesus said one of them would betray Him, and they ALL asked the same question. “Is It I?”

    That probably is a good question for us all to ask. You might be thinking, “What? I would never betray His love.” Yet, if we are honest with ourselves, how many of us can say we have never sinned? When we sin, we, in a sense, betray the love that Jesus displayed for us on the cross of Calvary. I am so glad we serve a loving, forgiving Lord and Saviour.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

If you ask the question, “Is It I?”
and the answer comes back yes, what will you do?

The Great Foundation

MARCH 12, 2026
Daily Reading—Numbers 26-27 /  Mark 12:28-44

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 12:10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

   Jesus was telling the Jewish religious leaders of the day that He knew they had rejected the prophets of old, and they would also reject and eventually kill Him. He then says, “The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner.” In other words, you might reject me now, but someday you will find I am the foundation of all real life.

---

    Many people still today reject Jesus as people did back then. There are those who put their faith in other religions and false gods. Some believe in wealth and status for life. However, there will come a day when every knee bows to Christ and will realize He is the Cornerstone of life eternal.
