(God) said, “give earnest heed to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in His sight, and give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes,”¹ “Be careful to listen to all these words which I command you, so that it may be well with you and your sons after you forever, for you will be doing what is good and right in the sight of the Lord your God.²

Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect (take thought for) what is right in the sight of all men.³ For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God.⁴ You shall do what is right and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may be well with you . . . ⁵ So you shall remove the guilt of innocent blood from your midst, when you do what is right in the eyes of the Lord.⁶

Dwell on What is True

Oct30

Finally, brethren, whatever is true, . . .
Philippians 4:8a NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.4.8.NASB1995

“Whatever is true.” What is true? How do we assess what is true? I believe we need to look to the One who is true.

The Lord is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King. . .¹  There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.²  He who has received His testimony has set his seal to this, that God is true.³
Jeremiah 10:10/John 1:9/John 3:33 NASB1995

And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
1 John 5:20 NASB1995

Who Are We Sowing For?

Oct29

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.
Galatians 6:7 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.6.7.NASB1995

1. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption,
but
2. The one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
Galatians 6:8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.6.8.NASB1995

Christ in You & Me

Oct28

Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test?
2 Corinthians 13:5 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.13.5.NASB1995

Christ in you. Christ in me.
Do we take advantage of this treasure living in us? Jesus Christ moving in us to sanctify, strengthen our faith, molding us into His image for His glory and His purpose? Do we walk daily in His way? In His truth? Is our life surrendered, sacrificed for His purpose?

Salvation, believing faith in Jesus Christ, is so much more than saying a prayer. It is a call to sacrifice our life for His purpose.

🌹And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.

Psalm 19:7/Isaiah 25:1/Hebrews 12:2/Psalms 119:137/Luke 1:49 NASB1995

🌹In the days of His flesh, He offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His piety. Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered. And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation,

Where Do We Seek Answers?

Oct23

“Thus says the Lord who made the earth, the Lord who formed it to establish it, the Lord is His name, ‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’
Jeremiah 33:2-3 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jer.33.2-3.NASB1995

Where is your first stop when you are seeking answers?

Is it the throne of grace where ‘THE GOD’ who has all the answers we could ever seek?

For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:15-16 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.4.15-16.NASB1995

You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13 NASB1995

Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near.
Isaiah 55:6 NASB1995
