What Do You Value

JULY 24, 2026
Daily Reading—Job 13-16 / Acts 20

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 19:18-19 And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Isn’t it amazing to see the men in today’s passage not only confess their faith in Christ, but Acts 19:18 says they “shewed their deeds.” Verse 19 gives us an example. It says they brought together things they knew were offensive to God and burned them. Things that had great earthly value, they destroyed. Why, because it offended God, whom they valued more.

 

    Sometimes we need to take inventory of our lives and maybe get rid of some things. Not because they have no earthly value, but because they offend God, whom we value more. Don’t sell them to someone else to plague their lives; destroy them.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Have you examined the things you hold most valuable?

God Can Use You

JULY 23, 2026
Daily Reading—Job 9-12 / Acts 19:21-41

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 18:24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    In Act 18, we read of a man named Apollos. He was teaching what he knew, but he did not have all the information. It appears from verse 25 that he taught about the Lord all the way up to the baptism of John. He needed to hear the rest of the story. Yet, even with his lack of total knowledge, God was using him. When Aquila and Priscilla met him in verse 26, they taught him of the gospel, and God used him even more.

 

    Do not be afraid to share what you know. When done from a heart of love for the Lord, God can use you. Still, never be afraid to learn even more. The more you understand the Word of God, the more effectively He can use you. Attend Sunday School, Services, be Discipled, and study God’s Word.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Apollos was used to open doors for Paul. How might God use you?

Everyone Has A God

July 22, 2026
Daily Reading—Job 5-8 / Acts 19:1-20

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 17:23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Everyone has a god. Even the atheist who says there is no God has then declared themselves to be their own god. We all worship something. Some people will worship trees and bees. Others will worship the stars and Mars. However, when we are all honest with our consciences, we all bow down to something.

 

    Paul noticed that those in Athens wanted to cover every base, so they included an altar to “THE UNKNOWN GOD.” The problem is that you cannot really have more than one god. If you do, then none of them is GOD, as there is no god in control of the other gods. Thankfully, there is one TRUE GOD. A God who created and loves us all, even if we do not believe in Him.   

 

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Will you lift up this GOD to the world today?

Are We Even Noticeable?

JULY 21, 2026
Daily Reading—Job 1-4 / Acts 18

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 17:13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Paul and Silas had a way of stirring up things almost everywhere they went. When they shared the gospel of Jesus Christ, many were saved, and their lives and lifestyles were changed. So much so that the opposition sent people from miles away to campaign against them and even had them arrested if possible. 

    When reading this today, I asked myself, “Are we as believers today doing enough?” I mean, a few people stirred up things so much by sharing the gospel that these cities were concerned about things shifting in the actions and attitudes of those in these towns. The change scared them.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

I just must wonder, are we doing enough?
Are we even noticeable?

This Little Light Of Mine

JULY 20, 2026
Daily Reading—Esther 5-10 / Acts 17

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Acts 16:25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    In Acts 16, we find Paul and Silas in a dark and dingy prison. We know it was dark in there because the keeper of the prison in Acts 16:29 “called for a light” before he entered. Yet in the midst of the darkness, there was already a light the jailer did not see. Paul and Silas were praying and singing praises to God, which showed a spiritual light on who God was to them in their darkest situation. The prisoners with Paul and Silas heard them. Soon, the jailer saw that same light.
 

    We, too, are called to be a light in this dark world. No matter how bleak things may seem, we can always find a reason to praise our God in heaven. Let’s be a light for someone else today.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Do I hear you singing?
“This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine.”
