Deuteronomy 5:1-6:25, Luke 7:11-35, Psalms 68:19-35, Proverbs 11:29-31
Pray: Pray today that God would offer new insight into something that you have been questioning, wondering about, struggling with through the pages of Scripture today. Trust that God has answers for each of us that are nestled away in the verses within the greatest book ever written!
Read: Today we receive the Ten Commandments from Moses as well as Moses’ comments and teaching for living a Godly life. It's interesting that Moses spent so much of his time reminding the Israelites that there is only One God and that it is imperative that they remember that. Do you think Moses sees something coming after they enter the Promised Land? Guess you’ll have to keep on reading to find out. We also read of Jesus raising a widow’s son from the dead. This boy was in the coffin and on the way to be buried and Jesus stopped the processional and simply said, “Young man, get up”… and HE GOT UP!!! In the midst of all of that, John the Baptist sends messengers to ask Jesus if He was the Messiah that they had been waiting on. Jesus reassures John and his followers that He is the Messiah and that John is and has always been a part of the plan… preparing the way for one who is greater.
Edify: Proverbs speaks to the family and relationships that we have with them. Family is one of the greatest resources God gives us. They provide acceptance, encouragement, guidance and counsel. Bringing trouble to one’s family in any way is foolish because you cut yourself off from all they provide. It is crucial for us to diligently work to promoting and building a close-knit and strong family connection.
Practice: How have you hindered the development of a strong family unit? How can you further strengthen your family unit? Commit today to investing in your family. Maybe there is some forgiveness that needs to be offered for the sake of reconciliation and family unity.
