DECEMBER 2 & 3, 2023 – Will Not Think About It

Will Not Think About It

 DECEMBER 2 & 3, 2023
 DECEMBER 2 – Daily Reading – Daniel 3-4 / 2 Peter 3
 DECEMBER 3 – NO READING

 GOD’S WORD:

Daniel 3:16-17 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.

 GETTING INTO GOD’S WORD:

        Sometimes, it is good to take time to think about things before making a decision. Like when you are getting ready to change jobs, move to another city, or propose marriage. These are all things where you might want to consider all the possible variables, gain counsel from some wise friends, and spend some time in prayer over before you decide your course of action. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 15:22 that, “Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.” Yet not everything in life requires us to go through such long consideration.

        In today’s Bible reading the people in Babylon were directed to bow before an image of the king, and worship it. If they would not, the decree was that they would be killed by fire. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were brought before the king for refusing to bow before the statue. The king said in essence, think about it, and the next time people are directed to bow and worship, join them. However, in Daniel 3:16 they answered and said, “we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.” In other words, we will not think about it. To them there was nothing to think about. They would only bow to the one true God. There are things we should not need to think about. Do we read our Bible today or not? Do we spend time in prayer or not? Do we attend worship together with the church weekly or not? These are all no brainers.

 GETTING GOD’S WORD INTO ME:

        We do not think before breathing, or about our heart pumping blood. In a healthy body, these things happen naturally. Reading God’s Word, spending time in prayer, and fellowship with God’s church should be natural in a healthy child of God as well.

Aren’t some things just unthinkable?

THE WEEK IN REVIEW:

      We have a God who listens, loves, and leads us by His Word. What a Wonderful God. He proved that again this week in:

  ● What’s That I Hear
  ● What A War
  ● Wrong, Or Right
  ● Worshipping Together
  ● Who To Listen To
  ● Will Not Think About It

        Also, He has called us to Himself, provided a way of salvation, and created a church to correct and comfort us as needed. He is a Wonderful God indeed.

       Enjoy today with your church and hear what God has prepared in the heart of His man for you this week.

   See you tomorrow.  

 SUNDAYS:

       Today we suggest you read and study whatever the Lord has laid on your Pastors heart. Whatever scripture he uses for today’s messages were given to him by God for your specific needs.
