DAILY READINGS: Leviticus 7:11-38; Psalm 107:1-43; Acts 28:17-31

Man shall not live by bread alone. Luke 4:4, KJV

Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life…” John 6:35 Our forefathers lived without sugar until the 13th century,
without coal fires until the 14th, without potatoes until the 16th, without tea or coffee until the 17th, and without electricity until the 19th. Although mankind may live without such common commodities, we cannot afford to die without Christ who is the Bread of Life and the Living Water. —Arnot P. McIntee

Come, there’s bread in the house of Thy Father, and to spare,
Hear, O hear Him calling, calling now for thee;
Lo, the table is spread and the feast is waiting there,
Hear His loving voice calling still. —Charles H. Gabriel

Leviticus 7:11-38; Psalm 107:1-43; Acts 28:17-31

John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins. Mark 1:6

We can only imagine what John the Baptist may have looked like as he began his ministry for God. However, he wasn’t concerned about what he was wearing, or what others thought of him. His mission was to prepare the way for the Lord Jesus, the Lamb of God. Sometimes we get preoccupied by our outward appearance or by what others think of us, instead of being sure we are doing the will of God. Let us serve the Lord with our whole heart and soul and leave the results to God. —Virginia Strout

Let’s forget about ourselves,
Concentrate on Him and worship Christ, the Lord
Worship Him, Jesus Christ, the Lord. —Bruce Ballinger

DAILY READINGS: Leviticus 6:8-7:10; Psalm 106:1-48; Acts 28:1-16

Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, “See, my master has spared this Naaman the Syrian, in not accepting from his hand what he brought. As the Lord lives, I will run after him and get something from him.” 2 Kings 5:20 

Gehazi wanted the gifts which Elisha had refused. Greed had overtaken him and he sinned greatly in letting Naaman think he could pay for his healing. God’s gift of grace is free. No amount of money could ever pay for such a gift. We are all afflicted with the spiritual disease of sin. Healing and salvation come to us only as a free gift. Thank God. “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). —Robert Gentile

Jesus, the just One, has died on the tree, Died for guilty sinners,
and salvation is free! —Author Unknown

Leviticus 6:8-7:10; Psalm 106:1-48; Acts 28:1-16

Therefore I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me. Micah 7:7 NKJV

Early in Micah’s prophecy, he laments the degraded state of the people of Israel. Due to their sin and hardness of heart, he says, “The seers shall be ashamed, and the diviners abashed; … for there is no answer from God” (3:7). Some days, we may feel like there is no answer from God. But He is not silent. In our patient faith, God is active. Micah could confidently say, “My God will hear me”. Like Micah, let us wait and trust that God will speak. —Jared D. Fraser

Help me then, in every tribulation,
So to trust Your promises, O Lord,
That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation,
Offered me within Your holy Word. —Carolina Sandell Berg

Leviticus 5:14-6:7; Psalm 105:1-45; Acts 27:27-44

O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth. Psalm 96:9

The Lord’s Supper gives us an opportunity to acknowledge and appreciate what pleases the Father about His Son. Our personal relationship with Him deepens when we come together to worship the Lord. For such a solemn endeavour, spiritual cleanness is essential as we worship in “the beauty of holiness”. The Father gives us this privilege of sharing His delight in His Son, and wonderfully increases our joy when we worship Him. —Gaius C. Goff

O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;
Bow down before Him, His glory proclaim;
With gold of obedience, and incense of lowliness,
Kneel and adore Him: the Lord is His name. —John S. B. Monsell

DAILY READINGS: Leviticus 5:14-6:7; Psalm 105:1-45; Acts 27:27-44

In mercy and truth Atonement is provided for iniquity. Proverbs 16:6

That purging of our sin took place two thousand years ago at Calvary. God’s mercy was demonstrated in its fullness. He could have justly condemned us to a lost eternity, yet He chose to demonstrate His love, mercy, and grace to sinful men. The Lord Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6, KJV). Accept His cleansing today! —W. H. Gustafson

Mercy there was great and grace was free;
Pardon there was multiplied to me;
There my burdened soul found liberty—at Calvary.
—W. R. Newell

Leviticus 4:27-5:13; Psalm 104:1-35; Acts 27:1-26

[Jesus] cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.” John 11:43-44 NKJV

Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days, wrapped in burial clothes — far beyond any hope. Yet, with just three words, Jesus called him out of death’s grip. Through Jesus’ own death and resurrection, we too are offered freedom from the hold of death. By accepting His gift of salvation, we can remove our “grave clothes” and embrace new life,
stepping into the freedom He promises. —Alyssa Gee

My God is mighty to save, He is mighty to save,
forever, author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave, Jesus conquered the grave. —Reuben Morgan, Benjamin Fielding

DAILY READINGS: Leviticus 4:27-5:13; Psalm 104:1-35; Acts 27:1-26

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16, NKJV

Out of love, God provided salvation for sinful men before man ever fell. Out of love, God planned from eternity to give His Son. God’s love is eternal, unconditional, changeless. It reaches out to all persons regardless of their status or condition. In love, God offers freely eternal life and heaven to any sinner who will respond to Him. The saved soul loves Him because He first loved us. —Doug Kazen

The cross reveals thy love below; But better soon our hearts shall know,
When we behold Thy face above. The fullness of our Father’s love.
—C. A. Bernstein

DAILY READINGS: Leviticus 4:1-26; Psalm 103:1-22; Acts 26:19-32

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree. 1 Peter 2:24

Trees feature prominently in the Scriptures. In the midst of the Garden of Eden was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This tree became the symbol of man’s iniquity as he disobeyed God’s injunction not to eat of it. As a result, sin passed upon all men. Humanity had to perpetually bear this curse of sin. To redeem man, our Saviour came and was obedient unto death, bearing our sins in His own body on the tree to save us. Jesus Christ took your place on the tree. Do you believe it? —K. C. Ung

Would Jesus have the sinner die? Why hangs He then on yonder
tree? What means that strange expiring cry? Sinners, He prays
for you and me. —Charles Wesley

Leviticus 4:1-26; Psalm 103:1-22; Acts 26:19-32

How then can man be righteous before God? Or how can he be pure who is born of a woman? Job 25:4 NKJV

Job was a wealthy, godly man. He had seven sons and three daughters. He was the greatest of all the people of the East. But in one day he lost everything — all his livestock, all his servants, all his children. Afterwards Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he fell to the ground and worshiped. In all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong. Perhaps someone reading this today has suffered a severe loss. Remember God is always on the throne and He makes no mistakes. “Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him” (Ps. 42:11). —Sid Halsband

A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;
Our helper He, amid the flood, of mortal ills prevailing. —Martin Luther
