Today’s verse of the day on the Bible app is Matthew 9:37-8, and the New Testament reading is Galatians 6. ‘He said to his disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.”’Matthew…
As I wake up with coffee and Christ, I find myself reflecting on this morning’s readings, Deuteronomy 28 and Galatians 3. As I read Deuteronomy 28, I was a bit perplexed. The chapter lays out blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. The blessings were awesome, like verse 6. ‘Wherever you go and whatever you…
Galatians 2 is our New Testament reading today. Verse 20 caught my heart while I drank my coffee. ‘My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me…
We are almost 33% through the Bible this year. Today’s readings included Psalm 91, which is a great Psalm for everyday living, and Spiritual Warfare. I would love to commit Psalm 91 to memory, but man, it’s long, and I’m old, but it would be worth pondering on every day. We also started Galatians 1…
2 Corinthians 13 was this morning’s reading. I felt verse 5 needed further examination. ‘Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely you know that Jesus Christ is among you; if not, you have failed the test of genuine faith. ‘2 Corinthians 13:5 I can compare myself to others, and think…
We are trucking right along through the Bible, and this morning, Deuteronomy 18:10-12 made me stop and ponder. ‘10For example, never sacrifice your son or daughter as a burnt offering. And do not let your people practice fortune-telling, or use sorcery, or interpret omens, or engage in witchcraft, 11or cast spells, or function as mediums…
Today marks day 114 of reading through the Bible this year. In Deuteronomy 12 and 13, God gives the Israelites instructions for when they enter the promised land. God warns us to be careful and obey in chapter 12. Both chapters have hardcore warnings against following other religious customs in the new land. ‘You must…
This morning, I read Deuteronomy 9 and saw that Moses fasted for 40 days, not just once but twice. He prayed and pleaded with God not to destroy them. This is more than sacrifice; it shows what true intercession looks like. ‘26I prayed to the Lord and said, ‘O Sovereign Lord, do not destroy them….
I got up this morning with the word “purity” on my mind. Yesterday, I read 2 Corinthians 6, and Paul says that purity is one of the things that prove we are sincere, authentic Christians. ‘We prove ourselves by our purity, our understanding, our patience, our kindness, by the Holy Spirit within us, and by…
Today’s verse of the day is Romans 1:17, and today’s readings were Deuteronomy 5, 6; Psalms 64; and 2 Corinthians 6. As I woke up before dawn and began my spiritual training, it dawned on me that today’s theme, or word of the day, is righteousness. ‘This Good News tells us how God makes us…
