DAILY SCRIPTURE 9/3/26 THURSDAY Matthew 10:28-31. Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.[a] 30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

This is still part of Jesus' instructions to the twelve as he sends them out to preach. So these words are for everyone, but especially for his servants. It is always a temptation to base our self-worth on how other's opinion of us. This can cause some of us to be workaholics or “people pleasers.” But God, who knows us better than anyone, has already determined our worth. It is important to stay connected to God, because he is the source of our self-worth.

DAILY SCRIPTURE 9/2/26 WEDNESDAY Matthew 10:11-16. Whatever town or village you enter, search there for some worthy person and stay at their house until you leave. 12 As you enter the home, give it your greeting. 13 If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. 14 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet. 15 Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for S***m and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.
16 “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

Jesus is sending out his twelve disciples on their first mission tour without him. He is brutally honest – he tells them they will be rejected and resisted. We need to be aware that this is still true of the church's ministries today. No matter how hard we try to be appealing and inviting, there will always be resistance. Some people will always refuse or misunderstand our efforts. Jesus himself encountered resistance, even to his beautiful ministry. He tells us to “shake the dust off your feet.” In other words, don't be discouraged, and don't carry the pain of rejection with you. Let it go. But don't give up on them either – there will be other times, and God has other servants. Keep praying for them!

DAILY SCRIPTURE 9/1/26 TUESDAY Matthew 7:6. Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

This is a difficult verse – immediately after his teaching against judging, Jesus is calling people as “dogs” and “pigs.” But actually Jesus is simply telling us not to force our help or our faith on those who aren't open to it at the moment. Sometimes doing that can push people farther away. Trust and wait for God's Spirit to prepare the way. The time will come when your help will not be rejected. Also, as Jesus teaches us not to judge others harshly, we should avoid people who are harshly judging us.

DAILY SCRIPTURE 8/31/26 MONDAY Matthew 7:1-5. Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

In Greek, the word “hypocrite” meant “to act, to play a part”—like an actor wearing a mask. Here is someone who claims to be righteous, with a plank in their eye, trying to remove a splinter from someone else’s eye! Jesus wasn’t says that we should never be morally discerning or hold anyone accountable—but judging others while excusing our own struggles is wrong. It is certainly more fun to criticize others rather than to deal with our own issues.

Creation Speaks - Pigs & Pearls

DAILY SCRIPTURE 8/28/26 FRIDAY Galatians 5:16-24. So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever[a] you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, or**es, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

Say you have a great apple orchard. But one year you think, “I'm tired of apples. This year I think I'd rather have peaches. But I won't plant new trees – these will be do. I'll just work very hard, prune them, and make sure they have a lot of fertilizer and water.” But whatever you do you're never going to get peaches, you're just going to get bigger apples. To grow spiritual fruit you must give yourself to God and start over – and let God rebuild you

DAILY SCRIPTURE 8/27/26 THURSDAY 1 Corinthians 6:12-20. “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything. 13 You say, “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will destroy them both.” The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14 By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also. 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a pr******te? Never! 16 Do you not know that he who unites himself with a pr******te is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”[a] 17 But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.[b]
18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. 19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

The image of your body being a temple of the Holy Spirit is both empowering and challenging. It invites you to seriously consider how you live in and through your physical self. What’s one area of your life where you could more fully honor God with your body? In what ways can knowing that God desires to dwell in you and guide you all the time help you think more clearly about your body, and make better choices about what you do with it?

DAILY SCRIPTURE 8/26/26 WEDNESDAY Romans 5:1-5. Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we[b] boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we[c] also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Emotions are volatile. As we follow Jesus, we don’t always feel that “the love of God has been poured out in our hearts.” Even great leaders like Martin Luther or John Wesley felt “down” at times. “ The apostle Paul said the Holy Spirit’s presence fills our hearts with the reality of God’s love, however we feel. Paul said the Holy Spirit pours God’s love into our hearts. This divine presence is a gift to all believers, helping you experience God’s love in a personal way. How aware are you of the Holy Spirit’s work in your life?

DAILY SCRIPTURE 8/25/26 TUESDAY Acts 13:49-52, 20:22-28, 37-38. The word of the Lord spread through the whole region. 50 But the Jewish leaders incited the God-fearing women of high standing and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region. 51 So they shook the dust off their feet as a warning to them and went to Iconium. 52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit...

22 “And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. 23 I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. 24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.
25 “Now I know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom will ever see me again. 26 Therefore, I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of any of you. 27 For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God. 28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God,[a] which he bought with his own blood...

37 They all wept as they embraced him and kissed him. 38 What grieved them most was his statement that they would never see his face again. Then they accompanied him to the ship...

God doesn’t leave us on our own after we believe. God provides the Holy Spirit to comfort, guide, and strengthen us. Acts 13 told about violent opposition forcing Paul and Barnabas to leave . Depressing, right? Not really:they shook the dust off their feet and went on their way ‘filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit’ (13:52. What they knew and felt was the Lord’s Spirit welling up within them. In Acts 20 there were tears about separation, but not hopeless separation. In the Spirit we know no parting is forever!
