Genesis 20:18
For the Lord had kept all the women in Abimelek’s household from conceiving because of Abraham’s wife Sarah.
Today’s verse is part of a larger story concerning Abraham and Sarah. It highlights the danger and suffering deceit can cause when one lies rather than telling the truth. Abraham had moved his family to the town of Gerar located in the desert region of the Negev. Fearing for his safety, He tells King Abimelek that Sarah was his sister. This was the second time Abraham lied putting Sarah in danger. The first time was when he moved to Egypt. Abraham was setting a dangerous pattern of lying whenever he felt threatened. Fortunately God intervened to save him from self-destruction. For believers, this story is a reminder of God’s unseen intervention in their lives. The world is filled with temptations that can lead to sin, but God’s unseen presence is always at work to save us even when we think we don’t need saving.

Isaiah 49:10
They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sun beat down on them. He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water.
Looking at today’s verse, Isaiah continues to bring a message of hope to the Israelites living in exile in Babylon. It speaks to a time when they will be set free from their exile and be allowed to return to Jerusalem. Isaiah speaks of a journey that will take them through a desert but assures them that God will provide for them as He did their ancestors as they traveled through the wilderness. For believers today, this verse assures them that God will always provide for His people not only here on earth but in the eternal kingdom. In Revelation 7 John quotes this text from Isaiah again assuring believers that there will be no pain, thirst, or hunger in God’s kingdom.

Matthew 6:34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Today’s verse comes from the Sermon on the Mount. It in, Jesus tells us not to worry about tomorrow. Now He is not saying we shouldn’t plan for tomorrow because planning for the future is part of life. What He is saying is that we shouldn’t worry about things in the future that we have no control over. Today’s verse reminds us that each day presents its own challenges, joy, and responsibilities to occupy our minds and worrying if it is going to rain next week is counterproductive because it distracts us from attending to today’s needs. Worrying about tomorrow also distracts us from placing our trust in God to take care of the future and could cause us to miss opportunities He places before us. Planning for a vacation and retirement in the future is fine; worrying about when the world will end is not productive. Only God knows the answer to that question. As the old song says, “Don’t worry be happy.”

Revelation 7:11-12
All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: “Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!”
The elders mentioned in this passage are the twenty-four elders introduced earlier in Revelation 4, where John describes a vision of God’s throne surrounded by twenty-four thrones, with elders seated on them dressed in white and wearing gold crowns. Many interpreters understand the number twenty-four to symbolize the fullness of God’s people, often linking it to the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve apostles, though this is an interpretation rather than an explicit statement of the text. The scene of the angels, the elders, and the four living creatures bowing before God highlights the unity of heaven in worship. For believers, this passage serves as a reminder to join that chorus of praise, responding to God with reverence, gratitude, and worship.

Isaiah 46:10
I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’
Isaiah spoke the words in today’s verse to the Israelites who were living in exile in Babylon and surrounded by a culture that worshiped false gods. The people in exile were discouraged, thinking that God had abandoned them. The purpose of Isaiah’s message was to assure them that God’s power was absolute compared to the powerless idols the Babylonians worshiped. In a previous verse, Isaiah emphasizes fact that idols cannot move on their own and have to be carried from place to place but that God carries His people. Because God is not restrained by time, He is able to see the ending of a journey we have not yet started. When we encounter a trial in life we often wish we could see into the future to know its outcome. If you trust in God, there is no need to know the future because God is in control of the beginning and end of all things and you can safely place your fears and anxieties in His hands.

Obadiah 1:19
Then my people living in the Negev will occupy the mountains of Edom. Those living in the foothills of Judah will possess the Philistine plains and take over the fields of Ephraim and Samaria. And the people of Benjamin will occupy the land of Gilead.
To understand Obadiah’s prophecy in today’s verse will require some background information. The main focus of the book of Obadiah is God’s coming judgement of the nation of Edom for its cruelty toward Judah. When the Babylonians destroyed Jerusalem the Edomites gloated over Judah's destruction, assisted the invading armies, and even captured fleeing Jewish refugees and handed them over to the Babylonians. Because of this betrayal, God declared that Edom would be severely judged. The mention of Ephraim, Samaria, and Gilead refers to the time when God will restore the twelve tribes of Israel. The destruction of the nation Edom serves as a warning of the danger of seeking retaliation against someone who has wronged you. God sees every injustice that has been commited so, as believers we need to trust in God when it comes to judgment. God will prevail over evil and His people will be part of that victory in His eternal kingdom.

Joshua 1:7
Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do.
Looking at today’s verse, Moses has died and the leadership of the Israelites has been handed down to Joshua. The Israelites are camped on the East side of the Jordan Riven and God has instructed Joshua to get the people ready to cross over into the Promised Land. In this verse, God tells Joshua to be strong and to obey all the instructions Moses had given him and if he is obedient, he will be successful in everything he does. For believers today, God’s Word serves as the source of encouragement to stand strong in their faith. We live in a society that continually brings pressure on believers to bend their faith to conform to world views. It takes courage to stand strong in one’s faith, but God promises those who are anchored in His word and are obedient will find true success, lasting peace, spiritual growth, and eternal rewards.

Colossians 3:17
And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.
Today’s verse, written by Paul to the early believers in Colossae, was meant to strengthen a church facing false teaching and legalism. Paul reminded them that despite the opposition they were facing, they were to live their daily lives in ways that honored God. Christians today are still called to live their daily lives as representatives of Jesus. It doesn’t matter if we are in church, at work, interacting with others, or even helping a stranger, we are God’s representatives and our everyday routines are ways in which we can bring honor to God.

Psalm 112:6
Such people will not be overcome by evil. Those who are righteous will be long remembered.
The author of today’s verse is unknown, but it is part of what is called a wisdom Psalm. The author speaks of the rewards a person who lives a life in obedience to God will receive. The verse also promises that the faith of a believer will remain It promises that the faithful will remain strong in their core convictions regardless of the hardships and trials they face in life and that the depth of their integrity will be remembered, down through the ages. For believers today, this verse is a powerful reminder to remain faithful to God in all situations of life. The world may ignore and criticize your faithfulness to God, but God notices and while your rewards may not be earthly, they will be eternal.

Jeremiah 31:3
Long ago the Lord said to Israel: I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself.
Looking at today’s verse, the Israelites had acknowledged that their suffering was the result of their sinful nature and disobedience to God. To add to their misery, the northern kingdom had already fallen to the Assyrians, and the people exiled. Now the southern kingdom was on the verge of being destroyed and its people taken into captivity. In the midst of all this suffering, God through Jeremiah is reminding them of the love He has for them even though they rejected Him and are now suffering for their actions as exiles in foreign lands. Jeremiah’s words assure believers today that God’s love for them is not based on daily actions, mistakes, or circumstances; it is unconditional. So, no matter how far a person has strayed from God or the mistakes they made, God’s unconditional love is waiting for their return.
