“Charm is deceptive and beauty fleeting; the woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.”

Proverbs 31:30

Daily Scripture Text:

*"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." - Psalm 46:10*

Commentary:

This verse from Psalm 46 reminds us of the power and sovereignty of God. In the midst of chaos and turmoil, it calls us to find peace and reassurance in God's presence. Being still before God allows us to acknowledge His authority over all things and to trust in His divine plan. It reminds us that God will ultimately be exalted, and His glory will be known throughout the world.

Questions :

1. How do you find stillness and peace in your relationship with God?

2. What areas of your life do you need to surrender control to God and trust in His sovereignty?

3. How can you actively exalt God in your daily life and interactions with others?

Prayer:

Dear Lord, in the midst of life's chaos, help us to find stillness and peace in your presence. Teach us to trust in your sovereignty and to surrender control of our lives to you. May we exalt you in all that we do, bringing glory to your name. Amen.

Show Me What is Good YaH, Let Me Go In that Way...

I Pray....

Cycles of the Rain...

Patterns of the Plain...

Harvest of the Grain...

YaH You Purvey...

Show Me What to Hold YaH, For Your Ways are My Belay...

I Stay....

No matter what cast...

Good times don't last....

Hard times don't pass....

We return to the grass....

He conveys...

They are prideful behind mask....

What was 1st will one day be last....

Speaking the narrow as the wide they pursue...

Proof that the humble are few...

Proof their words are sweet, but wickedness ensues.

God’s Renewing Word of Joy | Luke 2:39-52 (GNT)

Introduction

Luke 2:39-52: After completing everything required by the Law, Mary and Joseph return to Nazareth with Jesus. The chapter concludes with the account of Jesus, at age 12, debating with the Jewish teachers in the Temple in Jerusalem.

Scripture Reading

The Return to Nazareth

39 When Joseph and Mary had finished doing all that was required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to their hometown of Nazareth in Galilee. 40 The child grew and became strong; he was full of wisdom, and God's blessings were upon him.

The Boy Jesus in the Temple

41 Every year the parents of Jesus went to Jerusalem for the Passover Festival. 42 When Jesus was twelve years old, they went to the festival as usual. 43 When the festival was over, they started back home, but the boy Jesus stayed in Jerusalem. His parents did not know this; 44 they thought that he was with the group, so they traveled a whole day and then started looking for him among their relatives and friends. 45 They did not find him, so they went back to Jerusalem looking for him. 46 On the third day they found him in the Temple, sitting with the Jewish teachers, listening to them and asking questions. 47 All who heard him were amazed at his intelligent answers. 48 His parents were astonished when they saw him, and his mother said to him, “Son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been terribly worried trying to find you.”

49 He answered them, “Why did you have to look for me? Didn't you know that I had to be in my Father's house?” 50 But they did not understand his answer.

51 So Jesus went back with them to Nazareth, where he was obedient to them. His mother treasured all these things in her heart. 52 Jesus grew both in body and in wisdom, gaining favor with God and people.

Today's Key Verse: Luke 2:52 Jesus grew both in body and in wisdom, gaining favor with God and people.

Reflect Reread verses 41-52. Why did Jesus stay behind in Jerusalem? What did the teachers think of him? Why were his parents astonished when they found him? What did they say (verse 48)? What was Jesus’s response (verse 49)? Verses 40 and 52 speak of Jesus’s wisdom. As stated in Proverbs 9:10, “To be wise you must first have reverence for the LORD.  If you know the Holy One, you have understanding.” In what way does your daily encounter with Scripture fill you with wisdom?

Pray Lord God, just as your beloved Son Jesus grew in body and wisdom, teach me your ways and guide me in my faith journey so that I continue to grow in knowledge of you. Daily will I praise you and offer my reverence to you. Amen.

"The Kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field,

which a person finds and hides again,

and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

Daily Scripture Text: "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." - Matthew 6:33

Commentary: Matthew 6:33 emphasizes the priority of seeking God's kingdom and righteousness above all else. It reminds us that when we prioritize our relationship with God and align our lives with His will, He promises to provide for our needs. This verse challenges us to focus on eternal values rather than temporal concerns, trusting that God will take care of every aspect of our lives as we seek Him first.

Questions:

How does this verse challenge your priorities and perspective on life?

In what ways do you actively seek God's kingdom and righteousness in your daily life?

How can you trust God more fully to provide for your needs as you prioritize Him above all else?

Prayer: Dear Lord, help us to prioritize seeking your kingdom and righteousness above all else in our lives. Grant us the wisdom to align our hearts with your will and trust in your provision for all our needs. May our pursuit of you lead to a deeper intimacy with you and a greater reliance on your faithfulness. In Jesus' name, amen.
