14:1, And Samson went down to Timnath,
and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines. The life of
Samson illustrates the saying, "God can draw a straight line with a
crooked stick." Or, "God is so
hard up for help, He'll use anyone, even you or me.”
- Tuesday, 8/22/17 Acts 8:4, Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word. They took their exceedingly bitter lemons and made gallons of sweet lemonade. Will you do the same? (Hint: the recipe calls for lots of sugar, which, in the Bible, is spelled J-E-S-U-S.)

Forever banish the idea that God “tolerates” us: He loves us immensely.
When He wants a “pick Me up,” He thinks of you and I!! Psalm 149:4, For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek
with salvation.
- Tuesday, 7/25/17 Hosea
13:6, According to their pasture, so were
they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they
forgotten me. Beware of the dangers of prosperity and ease!! Reread the
verse.
- Tuesday, 7/18/17 John
11:5, Now Jesus loved Martha, and her
sister, and Lazarus [but let him die.] Loving doesn’t mean keeping the
loved from from ALL pains. Some pains are necessary, and some are beneficial.
Use good judgment; ask for wisdom; but don’t always “play nice.”

Leviticus 11:45, For I am the Lord
that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall
therefore be holy, for I am holy. A reminder that we all are to be striving
to become holy. Very simply...are you more so than a year ago? What’re you
doing to become more so?
- Tuesday, 7/4/17 John
13:34, A new commandment I give unto you,
That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
Idea: Read the Gospels looking for characteristics of how Christ loved, write
them down, and incorporate them into our lives.
- Tuesday, 6/27/17 John
7:53-8:1, And every man went unto his own
house. Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. Jesus slept outside while
others had a house. To those who’re struggling financially: Jesus understands.
Just keep doing right: your mansion is getting its final paint job and
polishing.
- Tuesday, 6/20/17 I know
you’re not perfect, but are you “righteous”? Saved? And trying to live
correctly from the inside out? Psalm 97:11, Light
is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. Then the
crop that will be harvested is all yours. (V12: so “rejoice.”)

Jeremiah 25:4, And the Lord hath
sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but
ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear. “To hearken”: to hear
intelligently, with the implication of attention and obedience. The modern
version is “Listen to hear and not to respond.”
