One of the things which is quite apparent to me as I read the gospels is that the Scriptures are important to the ministry, life, and will of the Father in the life of Jesus. We can see that in the 24th chapter of Luke. Our reading for today is Luke 19 through John 8. …

Day Seventy Five – Remember
There are many things we like to remember. Some things we would like to forget, but they keep lingering around in our minds of remembrance. Today's study will not take too long; I do, however pray it to be instructive, inspiring, and even correcting to a wayward life. Our reading of the Scripture today is …
Day Seventy Four – Servant Leadership
Our Scripture reading for today is Mark 9 through Luke 5. The study today continues the theme of service and serving others. As we look at the gospel it can be quite apparent that this gospel presents Jesus as the Son of God, yet a servant to all who will believe Him. In the era …
Day Seventy Three – Servant Shepherd
Today's Scripture reading is Matthew 24 through Mark 8. I will share with you some verses on Jesus as the Servant. Some thoughts to consider. You will note at the beginning of Mark's Gospel that it has no genealogy as does Matthew and Luke. Mark's message is basically showing us Jesus Christ as a Servant. …
Day Seventy Two – Discourse to Death
The Scripture reading for today is Matthew 11 through chapter 23. Every Sunday Christians gather in remembrance; not of His death, but His resurrection. We often fail to remember that Jesus was more than a martyr though. He was more than a man dying for a cause. He was the Man sent to fulfill all …
Day Seventy One – From the Old to The New
We have been seventy days in the Old Testament. We end in the Old Testament today finishing up Malachi, reading Malachi 2 through Matthew 10. In the OT we learn of God’s plan for the human race, their departure from Him – in sin and rebellion – and His grace and mercy extended to all …
Day Seventy – Worship The LORD Only
Some people will never listen to a “negative” comment. They always want the positive stuff. Let me ask this question; What good is a battery with only a positive pole? There is no battery with only a positive pole. They all; from automotive – cars and trucks – to batteries for electronic gadgets, fire …
Day Sixty Nine – Let Us Consider Our Ways
Do we really stop to consider the way we live our lives? Are we a society that is consumed with doing our own thing; out for self fulfillment? It seems that way at times. Whether we like to admit it or not there is evil in the world. The only thing is who determines what …
Day Sixty Eight – No Injustice With God
We hear many people speak of “Justice”, “Right” or “Rights”, and the world is filled with injustice, and unrighteousness; and none of us are completely innocent of either. We love seeing the hungry fed, the poor and/or homeless given shelter and even finding prosperity in their paths of life. Is it injustice that makes people …
Day Sixty Seven – Redemption and Healing through The Creator
Yesterday we looked at the very troubled marriage of Hosea and Gomer; and their marriage is a picture of Israel's broken fellowship with God. Today's reading is Hosea 12 through Amos 7. We find God doing the work of redemption, grace, healing, and restoration in Hosea. God says to Israel through the prophet Hosea, “I …

Day Sixty Six – A Very Troubled Marriage
How would you describe a “Bad Marriage”? For some men it might be described as “Having a wife that does not do what I tell her”. That would be domineering, power crazed husband. To some women it could be having a husband who “doesn’t put his dirty clothes in the dirty clothes hamper”. Men, how …
Day Sixty Five – Knowledge in Wisdom and Learning
Today's Scripture reading for our ninety day journey and adventure is Ezekiel 46 through Daniel 10. For our study we will focus on Daniel's prophecy. Daniel was one of many Jewish nobles who were taken by Nebuchadnezzar into Babylon as captives. Daniel and three of his friends, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were chosen by the …

Day Sixty Four – Measuring Up
In the reading of the Bible one thing that stands out to me is that God is about His own glory. Now for a man or woman to be about themselves we call that arrogance, pride, no good even. Yet, for the Creator who has made all things, and seeing how He also loves the …
Day Sixty Three – That You May Know The LORD God
Reading the prophecy of Ezekiel can lead a person to only one good conclusion, and that is that GOD wants people to know Him. Some of the reading sounds harsh, deadly, and judgmental; however we are speaking of our Creator; and who are we to question how He works. Can the clay say to the …

Day Sixty Two – The LORD Sees; He Knows; You Will Know Him
My prayer for the readers of these posts is that you will receive a better understanding from the reading of God's Word. We need, we must hear Him. Our reading for today is Ezekiel 7 - 19. Consider the following thoughts... The prophet Ezekiel is taken by the hand of the LORD, in a vision …
