THE BEST WAY TO START AND FINISH YOUR DAY

*THE BEST WAY TO START AND FINISH YOUR DAY*

_Key Bible Text:_
*Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God."* (Matthew 4:4 NIV))

_Bible Insight:_
During days of uncertainty and unrest, it’s important to start and end your day by refueling your soul—the part of you that determines the way you think, feel, and choose. Just like your physical body has to be fed every day to stay healthy, so does your soul. *If you're not feeding your soul, you’re going to be drained emotionally and spiritually.*

So how do you refuel your soul? By getting into God's Word every day. Jesus said, "Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4 NIV). The Bible is life! You don’t just read it when you have a problem and need some advice. You don’t open it up only when you need a pick-me-up. You feed on it every day so that you are consistently nourished and growing in truth and love.

Don’t begin your day by scrolling through your phone or listening to the news. And don’t end your day by filling your mind with something on TV. None of those things are going to feed your soul.

If you only develop one new habit this year, let it be starting and ending your day in God’s Word. Wherever you leave your Bible, leave it open if you can. If the Bible is closed, you will have a tendency to overlook it. But if you leave it open to where you read last time, you’ll have an easier time remembering to be consistent in Bible reading.

It doesn't matter how long you read. It matters how you let God’s Word change you—how you see yourself and others in light of God’s love, how you view your circumstances, and how your relationship with God deepens and grows.

MEDITATION:
*Take time out today to hear what God has to say to you through his word.*

WELCOME TO MISSIONS (VI)

*DAILY DEW 18TH/DECEMBER/2021* *WELCOME TO MISSIONS* (VI) _Key Bible Text:_ *And of making all people see how God's secret plan is to be put into effect. God, who is the Creator of all things, kept his secret hidden through all the past ages, in order that at the present time, by means of the church, the angelic rulers and powers in the heavenly world might learn of his wisdom in all its different forms.* (Ephesians 3:9-10(GNB))  _Bible Insight:_ But now for the sequel. They became so interested, so aroused, so awakened, that they came in ever-increasing numbers. Souls were saved and in a very short time every seat was taken. Before long thy had caught the vision and they began to give, to give as they had never given before, and in a few weeks, without having to say hardly anything about the local obligations, every debt was paid, every bill met, and from that day to this we have not known the meaning of the word “debt” in connection with our work. We discovered that w

PATRIOTISM & NATIONALISM

Image
*DAILY DEW 5TH/MAY/2021* *PATRIOTISM & NATIONALISM* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge." (Romans 10:1-2 (KJV))   _Bible Insight:_ Some have tried to distinguish between what is desirable and what is wrong by using two separate words, patriotism and nationalism. The value of the former has been shown by Lecky when he wrote in his _History of European Morals_ :  Patriotism leads men to subordinate their wishes to interests of the society in which they live. It extends the horizon of life, teaching men to dwell among the great men of the past, to derive their moral strength from the study of their heroic lives, to look forward continually, through the vistas of a distant future, to the welfare of an organization which will continue when they have passed away.  Nationalism, on the other hand, can be used to

Age Long Wisdom (III)

Image
*DAILY DEW 13TH/NOVEMBER/2020* *Age Long Wisdom (III)* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And Jesus went on to say, And so I tell you: make friends for yourselves with worldly wealth, so that when it gives out, you will be welcomed in the eternal home."* (Luke 16:9) _Bible Insight:_ In soul winning, we need money! Cool money! The world needs the power of God but it takes engaging money to bring the Gospel close enough, so that the world can hear and see the power of God.  We need money and materials things to push the Gospel. In our key text, we see the need to use worldly wealth to make friends who will be brought closer to the opportunity to hear the Gospel and be saved. Use worldly wealth. You don't need to wait until you have enough of it. You will never have enough. However, you can decide to use the worldly wealth you have for soul winning. In the story of the good Samaritan, we see a Samaritan using his time, energy and resources to revive the man who was robbed and w
