Daily Bible Reading - Friday - February 26th

I think the whole book of Leviticus is going to be rules and regulations on this and that.  So far its been a huge amount of laws to remember, I wonder how they remembered them all back then, that would have been a job and a half.  When I think about it though it’s pretty much the same for us today, we have a ton of laws and stuff to live by today.  Well I just did a little research on Leviticus and it’s actually known as “The book of Gods Laws".  No wonder that’s all it’s been so far. 

In Mark right at the beginning of the reading in verse 11 the Pharisees asked Jesus for a miraculous sign.  Where in the world have they been? Did they not see any of the miracles that took place?  My goodness, they act like Jesus hasn’t done anything.  I think in verse 13 Jesus was getting a bit aggravated at the disciples and its true, they were arguing over bread but why? Didn’t they remember the miracles Jesus preformed feeding the huge masses of people, TWICE?  That kind of reminds me of myself though, sometimes I just don’t get something and it takes a bit of pounding into my head to realize it.   Reading the last part of Marks reading Jesus goes and tells what has to happen to the Son of Man.  Can you imagine knowing what is going to happen to you and yet being calm and ready to get through it?  I think I’d be a mess but Thank the Lord He gave is only son for us, what an awesome sacrifice.

Proverbs was only one verse today but a powerful and true verse.  Discipline, will we ever get to where we are totally disciplined? I know I am striving every day to be more disciplined.  Is it hard?  Oh my goodness YES! Discipline has been such a weakness for me and I have always in the past given in, instead of going the disciplined route, but with Gods help I am getting better.  I’ve finally gotten the determination to exercise and walk, im not fully disciplined yet but I am getting better every day.

Daily Devotional

"How precious are Your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand!"
(Psalm 139:17-18, NLT)

Did you know God is thinking about you right now? He thinks about you constantly. You are always on His mind. Do you know what He's thinking? He's not thinking about all that you've done wrong in your life. No, He's thinking about the good things He has in store for your future. Jeremiah 29:11 tells us that His thoughts are for our good. His plans are to prosper us and give us a future and a hope.

Do you know what else He's thinking? He's thinking about how much He loves you. He's not mad at you; He's madly in love with you! Let that love bring security to your heart and mind. Just take a deep breath right now and breathe in His love and peace. The Bible says that perfect love casts out all fear. When you receive His love, it drives out fear and gives you confidence to embrace the good things He has in store for you.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God, thank You for thinking of me today. Thank You for loving me and for doing a work in my life. I receive Your love which drives out all fear. Make me new as I meditate on You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
