We’ve made it to Friday! Let’s finish the week well! 📖🌻☕
For our scheduled reading today, making our way through the New Testament in a year, we are in James 3, which focuses on the power of our words. We’ll practice Matthew 5:3 for the last time this week, as we embark on memorizing the Beatitudes, and our scripture writing passage is Exodus 2:1-4, concerning Jochebed. Do you remember who she was?
Streams in the Desert concerns what it looks like when we are “Tempered and Tried”–“When the fire is hottest, hold still, for there will be a blessed “afterward”; and with Job we may be able to say, “When he hath tried me I shall come forth as gold.”
Tozer in the Morning exhorts his readers about “Distorting Word Meaning”–we need to take God’s word for exactly what it says and means, and nothing more. Make sure you have some solid commentaries for those times when the meaning may be obscure.
Spurgeon compels us to “Honor God” in Faith’s Checkbook today–“Do I make the honor of God the great object of my life and the rule of my conduct?”
We conclude with 1 Sam. 2:30 as our prayer scripture, and the hymn text, “Humble Aspirations” by Charles Wesley, which has Matthew 5:3 as its inspiration.
Have a wonderFULL weekend, and I’ll see you, Lord willing, on Monday.
