Look, Love, And Lead

JANUARY 13, 2026
Daily Reading—Genesis 27-28 / Matthew 9:18-38

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 9:36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    When we read the verse today, we find that Jesus looked with compassion and love upon these people who followed Him. When He looked, he saw a people who, over the years, had been misled and misfed. They were worn and weary from following one idea and then another. All they needed was someone to give them the truth and lead them. He then says, “The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few.”

 

    Friend, today the world is the same as then. They are led and fed the wrong things by wolves in sheep’s clothing. I can almost hear Jesus from heaven’s throne asking, Will anyone step up to feed my sheep? Pastor? Evangelist? Sunday School Teacher? Mom or Dad?  

 

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

     Who will feed God’s sheep? Will You?

 

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

It’s An Earth Thing

JANUARY 6, 2026
Daily Reading—Genesis 12-14 / Matthew 5

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the
evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Some things happen to both the born-again and the lost, and there is nothing we can do to change that. As our verse says, when the sun shines, it shines on everyone. When the rain pours, everybody gets wet. When the wind blows, floods come, and snow falls, we are all subjected to it. So, it is with other things as well. We all get old, all face illnesses, and all must die.

    My friend, it is an Earth thing. While here, however, we can choose what happens in the life to come. The saved have chosen Christ and, therefore, a life with Him where many of these things are done away with. The lost by default choose eternal torment.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

     What choice have you made for your eternal life to come?

December 31, 2025 – A Child Of The KING!

A Child Of The KING!
December 31, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Proverbs 31:4-6
It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted. Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

     In church, we sing a song: “I’m a Child of the King, A Child of the King, with Jesus My Saviour I’m a Child of the King.” Children of the king are called Prince or Princess.

     Tonight, millions of people all over the world will be ushering in the New Year at parties and family gatherings. A lot of them include alcohol. Sadly, many who will be drinking at those parties will include church members.

     The Bible says that the Children of the King, a prince or princess, should not drink. Why? “Lest they drink, and forget the law.” This is not just the law of man, but also the law of God. I can hear some of you now, “we’re not under the law,” and you are right. However, when you were saved, you were saying, I love you, God, and will obey your commandments. We obey the law now, not because of the law, but because of our love for the lawgiver, God.

     Our text also says we might “pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.” In one night, we can ruin our testimony for the rest of the year. As the lost see us doing as they do, they often think, “Why do I need their God? I am just like them.”

     Who should use alcohol? The medical professionals of that time used it to relieve the pain of death in some and those with heavy hearts. (Heavy hearts are not the lonely and sad for those of you who thought here is my excuse to get plowed.) The Hebrew definition for “heavy hearts” is “Bitter of Soul.” Should a Christian be Bitter of Soul? NO. The Bible says to rejoice in the Lord always. Celebrate Christ, your Salvation.

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

    As this day draws to an end and one more year slips away, let’s not let Satan steal our testimony we tried all year to convey to our lost friends. Stand Up for Jesus. Leave the Alcohol to the lost. Act like royalty. Let’s LIVE FOR CHRIST. Have a safe and Happy New Year.

What joy did God bring into your life this past year?

December 30, 2025 – God Takes Pleasure In You!

God Takes Pleasure In You!
December 30, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Psalm 149:4
For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

 

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

 

      Way too often, people get the misguided idea that God is some big bully in the sky waiting to pounce on us when we disobey in the least little way what we consider as sin. Although indeed God cannot tolerate sin, it is also true that He is a patient and loving God. Just as a loving father would be overjoyed if one of his children, who made an error in judgment, saw the error, and did what was necessary to make it right without being told, so God also finds happiness in us when we do what is right without being told. God finds pleasure in His children who truly love Him. He enjoys them and takes pleasure in providing for their well-being and their needs.

 

      I find it comforting to know, God does not find pain and disgust with us. What a great joy it is also to think He finds pleasure in us. He will also beautify the humble of heart with salvation. This is a picture of what God is doing and will do for His children. What does it mean that God beautifies the meek? Well, picture if you will how you might beautify a doll or a child by dressing them in nice attire. How during the Christmas Season, many people will beautify a tree by placing pretty ornaments on it. In the same way, God beautifies us when He clothes us in His righteousness. He will adorn us, or place upon us the righteousness of His Son Jesus Christ. In other words, He gives us His best, His Son, Jesus Christ.

 

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

 

    God has given to us His best, His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, for salvation. He finds great pleasure in us and loves us. Should we not do the same? Can we show Him love and adoration as we share His love with others at the end of this year? As God finds pleasure in us, let’s find pleasure in serving Him.

 

How might you show God adoration this Holiday Season?

December 24, 2025 – Satan Loves To Bug God

Satan Loves To Bug God
December 24, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Revelation 12:9-10
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

 

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

 

      This season is all about love, laughter, and enjoying this festive time of year. What would this day be like if all day long someone rode in your car and said terrible, horrible things about your spouse, your children, or your best friends? What if it did not stop there, and when you got to the place you were going, they tagged right along and continued with this terrible chatter about all the faults of these people you love? On the drive home, it is more of the same. Then, while trying to relax at home, a never-ending tale of the worst possible things about your favorite people keeps coming. Imagine if you will, this went on day after day after day after day after day. Would that help to make all your season merry and your spirits bright?

 

      Do you know today, right now, this is what God is listening to from Satan? He listens to a constant accusation of all our many faults. Everything we do or say and any mistake we make, Satan twists and changes to make us look as bad as possible before God.

 

      The good news is that Jesus is our advocate with the Father. As Satan makes His accusations, Jesus, like an attorney, pleads our case. Saying, the price is paid, settled at the cross of Calvary. Their sin has been paid for with the Blood of the Lamb. Then He holds out His nail-scared hands as proof of the payment. One day, God will hear enough, and Satan will be banished forever from the ear of God. Now that will be a very merry day in heaven indeed.

 

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

     

      Satan uses everything he can to accuse us. Let’s not give him any more than he already has to use against us this Christmas and New Year’s Season.

 

What ammunition did Satan gain last year that you will
keep him from using in the days and years to come?
