Bodily Resurrection

“Christ died and rose and lived again,

that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living."

Romans 14:9

Today's Bible Reading: Acts 1:1-3.

With a frequency that is amazing, the Bible affirms the fact of the bodily resurrection of Christ. Perhaps the most direct of all its statements is Luke’s account in the book of Acts, where he reports, “To whom also he showed Himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days” (Acts 1:3). What are we going to do with these “many infallible proofs”? We may not be able to take all of this evidence into a scientific laboratory and prove it; but, if we accept any fact of history, we must accept the fact that Jesus Christ rose bodily from the dead.

Prayer: All the arguments concerning Your existence are refuted, Lord Jesus, as I feel Your presence each day. It causes my soul to rejoice knowing that You, my living Lord, are indeed alive, and with me! Amen.

Forever Faithful

“For the word of the Lord is right,

and all His work is done in truth."

Psalm 33:4

Today's Bible Reading: Psalm 33:1-11.

Psalm 33, is an anonymous psalm that praises God and calls listeners to join in the praise (v 1-3). The psalm encourages us to celebrate God’s faithfulness with joyful praises (v 1-3) because “the word of the Lord is right and true” (v 4). Using the world God created as tangible proof of His power and dependability (v 5-7), the psalmist calls on the people of the world to worship Him: “Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him” (v 8).

When plans fail or people let us down, we can be tempted to be disappointed in God. However, we can rely on God’s trustworthiness because His plans “stand firm forever” (v 11) We can praise God, even when things go wrong because our loving Creator sustains everything and everyone. God is forever faithful.

Take a few moments and reflect on how you have experienced God’s character, creation, and love, and give Him praise for all His unfailing love. As the old gospel song says, “Count your many blessings, name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord has done!”

Prayer: Dear God, please remind me of Your past faithfulness as I walk by faith today. In Jesus name. Amen.

Poverty of Soul

“But he did not know . . . "  

Judges 16:20

Today's Bible Reading: Judges 16:18-22.

No one is more pathetic than the one who is in great need and is not aware of it. Remember Samson? Standing there in the valley of Sorek, surrounded by the lords of the Philistines, ”But he did not know that the Lord had departed from him” (Judges 16:20). It has been truly said, “No man is so ignorant as he who knows nothing and knows not that he knows nothing. No man is so sick as he who has a fatal disease and is not aware of it. No man is so poor as he who is destitute, and yet thinks he is rich.” The pitiable thing about the Pharisees was not so much their hypocrisy as it was their utter lack of knowledge of how poor they actually were in the sight of God. There is always something pathetic about a man who thinks he is rich when he is actually poor, who thinks he is good when he is actually vile, who thinks he is educated when he is actually illiterate. No matter who you are, know this; We all need Christ!

Prayer: Might I always remember the poverty of my soul before Your love invaded my life, Lord God, and I came to knew Your Son, as my Saviour. I praise You for that day. In Jesus wonderful name. Amen.
