Daily Reading – Jeremiah 13-15 / 1 Timothy 5

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

1 Timothy 5:1-2 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren; The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  Recently I pulled up to a drive-through restaurant my wife and I occasionally enjoy to order our meals. When I pulled ahead to pick up my order the girl at the window said, “I knew it was you.” I asked, “How did you know?” She replied, “You are the only one who says yes and no ma’am and thank you anymore.”

    Fact is, it seems that manners have gone out the window in today’s day and age. The Bible says we are to respect older men and women and be kind-hearted to younger men and women. Please and thank you, Yes sir, No Sir, and Excuse me please, are still recognized and appreciated. It is still right to be polite. Who knows, today you just might be recognized for it. 

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Will you stand out by standing up for being polite?

OCTOBER 29 & 30
Daily Reading – Jer. 10-12 / 1 Tim. 4

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

1 Timothy 4:4-5 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  Today’s food studies contradict one another. Some say red meat is bad for you, while others say it is ok. Some say never eat bacon, yet others encourage you to put bacon in everything, including ice cream.

  I believe the key to it all is moderation, taste, allergies, and thankfulness. Any food, overdone can harm you. Moderation is a good practice with all foods. Some things just do not taste good to some people. No one should be made to eat food that tastes bad to him or her. Allergies play a part in what a person can and cannot eat as well. The Bible adds that nothing is to be refused as long as you know who provides it and you tell God thanks.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Will you take the time to tell God thanks
for all His provisions for you today?

WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:

     On Sundays, we encourage you to attend your local church and listen intently to what God has prepared in the heart of your Pastor. Write down all the scriptures he uses in that message, then, when you get home re-read those passages for today’s reading. God has given to your Pastor exactly what He desires for you on that day.

Daily Reading – Jer. 7-9 / 1 Tim. 3

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

1 Timothy 3:1 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

       With the job market so volatile at times, I often hear people say, “There are no Jobs out there.” I beg to differ with you. There are thousands of churches in the United States without a Pastor. There are many foreign fields without a missionary. There are plenty of jobs in the ministry, but be advised, IT IS WORK!

     Paul told Timothy the office of Bishop was a good work, and it still is today. However, do not be deceived, it is work. It is a 24/7 job with many trials and sacrifices along the way. Yet it is also the most rewarding calling in the world. You are allowed to help people in their walk on earth, lead them to Christ, and then know you will be together in heaven forever.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

So, let me ask again, Who is looking for a really good work?

Hebrews 2:12

OCTOBER 27, 2022
Daily Reading – Jer. 4-6 / 1 Tim. 1-2

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

1 Timothy 2:3-4 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  What is the will of God? This question has plagued the mind of many a believer. While it is true that God’s thoughts are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9), it is not true that we cannot know God’s will in many areas. One thing we know for sure is that it is God’s desire for all people to be saved. Not a few, not a select group, not one nationality or gender, but ALL.

  Another part of the “will” questions is, “what is God’s will for my life?” Again, complex in some areas, yet we do know, it is God’s will for us to help Him fulfill His will. His will is for people to be saved, and He gave us the tools to help. Romans 1:16 says the gospel is the power of God to save anyone who believes. However, someone must tell them.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Will that someone be you?

OCTOBER 26, 2022
Daily Reading – Jer. 1-3 / 2 Thess.3

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

      There is a lot of talk today about being people of faith. Believers ought to be people of faith. However, into what are we putting that faith? Non-believers of Christ can also be people of faith. Yet, they put their faith in false gods or idols. Some, who call themselves Atheists, put faith in themselves as if they were a god.

      To be a person of faith and be a Christian is to put our faith in One who can fulfill our faith. That is the difference for us as believers in Christ and the world. Faithful means trustworthy, believable, something true and sure. We have a Lord who is faithful. God is all those things to us. He fulfils our faith. So where have you placed your faith?

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Is your faith in God who is faithful,
or self and the world built on shifting sand?
