October 26 – James 1:17

James 1:17 

Every good thing in our lives is a direct result of the love and grace God shows to us. Even though we are worthy of nothing, He blesses us abundantly. Why? Not because we are good, but because He is. Once we receive Jesus as our Savior, we become adopted heirs into the kingdom of God. And to His children, the Lord loves to give generously. (Matt. 7:11) And we can rest assured that because God is never changing, He will always be faithful to bless, love, and provide for those He calls His own.

October 25th – Ecclesiastes 8:1

Ecclesiastes 8:1

Charles Dickens once said, “A loving heart is the truest wisdom.” Solomon was one the wisest men to walk the earth. Yet he was equally known for his humility, and graciousness. When God offered to Solomon anything he wanted, Solomon asked for understanding and guidance to lead God’s people. That’s how we as Christians should be. When answering Bible questions, discussing the Word, or giving an account of our faith, we should do so with humility and love.

Ephesians 5:14

I don’t know about you, but it sure is hard for me to leave the comfort of my bed in the morning. It’s so cozy and warm, and if I had my way, that’s exactly where I’d stay. That’s how our relationship with Jesus can be. We get to a place where it’s comfortable, cozy, and easy. And that’s where we want to stay. But the Christian walk is just that, a walk. It means moving forward, growing and maturing in our faith. So wake up! Arise! Wipe the sleep from your eyes and feel the light of Jesus upon you!

October 23rd – Revelation 21:23

Revelation 21:23

Do you ever think about what heaven will look like? John tells us that the heavenly city is surrounded by twelve gates and filled with precious stones. Its streets are paved with gold, with the crystal clear river of life flowing through its middle. On either side of the river is the tree of life, yielding its fruit every month, and bearing leaves which heal. No temple is to be found, for the Father and the Son are it’s temple. And the glory of God shines with such brilliance, there is no need for any additional light. My mind can barely comprehend the splendor that awaits me as a child of God, and my heart overflows with joy knowing I’ll be spending eternity with the Lord.

October 22st – Psalm 119:130

Psalm 119:130

What I love most about the Bible is no matter how many times I read it, there is always something new to learn and discover. And the more time I spend in God’s Word, the greater understanding I have of its great and mighty Author. For the Bible is God’s gift to the world. It gives life and light to those who read and believe the truth it contains. It is our guidebook for life, and the means by which God’s Word is unfolded in our hearts. So dust off that Bible, dig into its pages, and get to know the God who gave everything to call you His!

October 21st -Proverbs 4:18

Proverbs 4:18

I love my early morning walks. It’s my alone time with God and often when I experience my deepest moments with Him. As I start the rising sun is just beginning to peek out, yet by the time I’m finished it’s risen rays are filling the sky. That’s how it is with our spiritual walk. When we first set out the light of the Lord is just beginning to rise. But as we continue to follow God’s path, the way becomes illuminated until it shines as brightly as the midday sun!
