Almost True Is Still False

Bible in a Year : Jeremiah 37-39 Hebrews 3

Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment. Proverbs 12:19

Today's Scripture & Insight : Proverbs 12:17-20

Cinematography? Well done. Soundtrack? Reflective and calming. Content? Intriguing and relatable. The video presented a study in which Redwood trees were injected with a substance similar to adrenaline to keep them from going dormant. The injected trees died because they weren’t allowed the natural cycle of “wintering.”

The video’s message was that this can happen to us as well if we’re always busy with no seasons of rest. And that can be true. But the video was inaccurate. There never was such a study. Redwoods are evergreens and never go dormant. And the trees in the video were giant Sequoias not coastal Redwoods. As thoughtful as the video seemed to be, it was based on falsehoods.

We find ourselves living in an age where, due to our technologies, lies are magnified and multiplied to the limits of convincing us they’re true. The book of Proverbs, that compendium of godly wisdom, speaks often of the stark difference between truth and lies. “Truthful lips endure forever,” says the proverb, “but a lying tongue lasts only a moment” (12:19). And the very next adage tells us, “Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil, but those who promote peace have joy” (v. 20).

Honesty applies to everything
from God’s commands to videos about wintering. The truth “endures forever.”. By: John Blase

Reflect & Pray
How might you wisely question the narrative of what you see, hear, and experience? How will you live out your commitment to the truth?

Dear God, please give me discernment as I daily pursue what’s true.

Courage from the Shepherd

Bible in a Year : Jeremiah 34-36 Hebrews 2

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. Psalm 23:1

Today's Scripture & Insight :
Psalm 23

The nearly 107,000 people in the stadium stood in anticipation as Texas A&M college football kicker Seth Small took the field with only two seconds left in the game. With A&M tied 38-38 against the best team in the country—a perennial football powerhouse—a successful field goal would seal an epic upset victory. Looking calm, Small lined up to take the kick. The stadium erupted in pandemonium after the ball sailed through the uprights for the winning score.

When questioned by reporters how he prepared for such an intense moment, Small said he kept repeating to himself the first verse of Psalm 23, “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.” When Small needed strength and reassurance, he drew on the deeply personal metaphor of God as a shepherd.

Psalm 23 is a beloved psalm because it assures us that we can be at peace, or comforted, because we have a loving and trustworthy shepherd who actively cares for us. David testified both to the reality of fear in intense or difficult situations as well as the comfort God provides (v. 4). The word translated “comfort” conveys assurance, or the confidence and courage to keep going because of His guiding presence.
When walking into challenging circumstances—not knowing what the outcome will be—we can take courage as we repeat the gentle reminder that the Good Shepherd walks with us. By: Lisa M. Samra

Reflect & Pray
How have you experienced God as a loving shepherd? How did His trustworthy care give you courage?

Heavenly Father, please help me to take courage knowing that You’re my loving Shepherd.

Serving God for Good

Bible in a Year : Jeremiah 27-29 Titus 3

Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant. Matthew 20:26

Today's Scripture & Insight : Matthew 20:20-28

Brad moved to a new city and quickly found a church where he could worship. He went to services for a few weeks, and then one Sunday he talked to the pastor afterward about his desire to serve in any way needed. He said, “I just want to ‘reach for the broom.’ ” He started by helping set up chairs for the services and cleaning the restrooms. The church family found out later that Brad’s giftedness was in teaching, but he was willing to do anything.

Jesus taught two of His disciples, James and John, and their mother a lesson in servanthood. Their mother requested that her sons have a place of honor on each side of Christ when He came into His kingdom (Matthew 20:20-21). The other disciples heard about this and grew angry with them. Perhaps they wanted those positions for themselves? Jesus told them that exercising authority over others wasn’t the way to live (vv. 25-26), but instead serving was most important. “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant” (v. 26).

Brad’s words “reach for the broom” are a practical picture for what each of us can do in our communities and churches to serve Christ. Brad described his life’s passion for God in this way: “I want to serve for the glory of God, for the good of the world, and for my own joy.” How will you and I “reach for the broom” as God leads us. By: Anne Cetas

Reflect & Pray
In what ways can you serve your church family? When will you start?

Dear God, You’ve done so much for me and deserve my love. Please empower me and show me how to serve others in my midst.

Time Well Spent

Bible in a Year : Jeremiah 24-26. Titus 2

Be very careful, then, how you live . . . making the most of every opportunity. Ephesians 5:15-16

Today's Scripture & Insight : Ephesians 5:15-20

On March 14, 2019, NASA rockets ignited, catapulting astronaut Christina Koch toward the International Space Station. Koch wouldn’t return to Earth for 328 days, giving her the record for the longest continuous space flight by a woman. Every day, living roughly 254 miles above the Earth, a screen kept track of the astronaut’s time in five-minute increments. She had a myriad of daily tasks to complete (from meals to experiments), and—hour after hour—a red line inched along the display, constantly showing whether Koch was ahead or behind schedule. Not a moment to waste.

While certainly not recommending anything so intrusive as a red line ruling over our life, the apostle Paul did encourage us to carefully use our precious, limited resource of time. “Be very careful then, how you live,” he wrote, “not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil” (Ephesians 5:15-16). God’s wisdom instructs us to fill our days with intention and care, employing them to practice obedience to Him, to love our neighbor, and to participate in Jesus’ ongoing redemption in the world. Sadly, it’s entirely possible to ignore wisdom’s instruction and instead use our time foolishly (v. 17), frittering away our years in selfish or destructive pursuits.

The point isn’t to obsessively fret about time but simply to follow God in obedience and trust. He will help us make the most of our days. By: Winn Collier

Reflect & Pray
What does time mean to you? How can you make the most of your time today?

Dear God, please help me make the most of my time.

The Great Divide

Bible in a Year : Jeremiah 22-23 Titus 1

Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s. Mark 12:17

Today's Scripture & Insight : Mark 12:13-17

In a classic Peanuts comic strip, Linus’ friend berates him for his belief in the Great Pumpkin. Walking away dejectedly, Linus says, “There are three things I have learned never to discuss with people . . . religion, politics, and the Great Pumpkin!”

The Great Pumpkin existed only in Linus’ head, but the other two topics are oh-so-real—dividing nations, families, and friends. The problem occurred in Jesus’ day as well. The Pharisees were deeply religious and tried to follow the Old Testament law to the letter. The Herodians were more political, yet both groups wanted to see the Jewish people freed from Roman oppression. Jesus didn’t seem to share their goals. So they approached Him with a politically charged question: should the people pay taxes to Caesar (Mark 12:14–15)? If Jesus said yes, the people would resent Him. If He said no, the Romans could arrest Him for insurrection.

Jesus asked for a coin. “Whose image is this?” He asked (v. 16). Everyone knew it was Caesar’s. Jesus’ words resonate today: “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s” (v. 17). His priorities in order, Jesus avoided their trap.

Jesus came to do His Father’s will. Following His lead, we too can seek God and His kingdom above all else, directing the focus away from all the dissension and toward the one who is the Truth. By: Tim Gustafson

Reflect & Pray
What divisive issues trouble you? How might keeping your eyes on Jesus help guide your conversations today?

Father, I need Your wisdom and guidance for all my interactions.

Philippians 2:10 ....at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!...

Acts 4:12 ...in all the world no other name has been given to men but this, and it is by this name that we must be saved!”.

James 2:19 ...even the demons believe and tremble...

Good morning on this beautiful last day of October! Today may we remember the majesty and glory of the name above all names KING JESUS and give Him the glory and honor and praise that He is so worthy of. May we remember that even when people choose not to believe that the demons and forces of darkness do and recognize the power of Jesus and submit to His authority! When you can't deal with the person deal with the Spirit because the person has free will but the demonic spirit does not and must obey at the name of Jesus! As we worship and overcome witchcraft today remember Jesus is Lord and the victory is sure and already purchased in His own blood at Calvary and today we simply stand in the full armor of God and declare His goodness and see His salvation and deliveranc eas we proclaim His word and worship Him in the beauty of holiness provided by the covering of Jesus Christ. Declare this wonderful name outloud today as often as possible to cancel all witchcraft and bo***ge and to set at liberty the captives around you. NO OTHER NAME BUT THE NAME OF JESUS AND WE WILL ALL BOW AND CONFESS JESUS IS LORD even the demons recognize and tremble in fear and flea at the mention of His name.
