The reading for June 11th, 2026, is 1 Kings 5-6; 2 Chronicles 2-3. This year, we will follow the chronological reading plan, paying close attention to the strategies Satan uses to divert us from following God.
Satan has deceived so many people in to believing once God offers a gift and makes a promise then all man has to do is believe it and accept the gift and then it is theirs, guaranteed forever and can never be taken back. Solomon is told the exact opposite today. “Now the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying, ‘As for this house which you are building, if you walk in My statutes and execute My ordinances and keep all My commandments by walking in them, then I will fulfill My word with you which I spoke to David your father. And I will dwell among the sons of Israel, and will not abandon My people in Israel’” (1 Kings 6:11-13 NASB). Satan has convinced them if we do anything or have any part in our salvation we are belittling the death of Jesus and His sacrifice. This is exactly the opposite of the truth. Those who would believe Jesus had to leave heaven, live as a man in complete obedience to God’s law, and then be put to death on the cross unjustly can receive the forgiveness of sins and a home in heaven for all eternity without doing anything or have any demands upon them for God to fulfill His promise of receiving this indescribable and unfathomable gift. Jesus tells us doing the commandments is us just doing what we should do. “So you too, when you do all the thing which were commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done’” (Luke 17:10 NASB). Do not be deceived even if we do all that God has commanded we are only doing what we should do nothing worthy of honor or glory.
Do not be deceived, you must not soil your garments to be worthy to walk with Jesus. “But you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments; and they will walk with Me in white, for they are worthy” (Revelation 3:4 NASB). The reading for June 12th, 2026, will be 1 Kings 7; 2 Chronicles 4. gsf

The reading for June 10th, 2026, is Proverbs 22-24. This year, we will follow the chronological reading plan, paying close attention to the strategies Satan uses to divert us from following God.
One of the hardest concepts God has called man to is to not take vengeance for wrongs done to us. Many see the death penalty for most violations of the Law of Moses and the idea of “an eye for an eye” and think this was the full teaching of God yet even under the Old Law the idea of grace and mercy were the ways of God. We are told “Do not be a witness against your neighbor for no reason, and do not deceive with your lips. Do not say, ‘I shall do the same to him as he has done to me; I will repay the person according to his work’” (Proverbs 24:28-29 NASB). When we see troubles come upon our enemy we might desire to inwardly cheer. If it brings cheer to your heart this is a deception of Satan. “Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and do not let your heart rejoice when he stumbles, otherwise, the Lord will see and be displeased, and turn His anger away from him” (Proverbs 24:17-18 NASB). One of the things which leads to this type of reaction is anger which we are warned to watch against. “Do not make friends with a person given to anger or go with a hot-tempered person, or you will learn his ways and find a snare for yourself” (Proverbs 22:24 NASB). The problem with taking our own vengeance is neither side is ever satisfied. The person who is retaliated against will think the punishment was more than they deserved or possibly thought they were repaying something done against them so now they have to retaliate to “get even” with the second person. These things only escalate the problem and never bring it to an end. If we will believe God that vengeance is His then we will know He will repay correctly for each person’s actions. “If you say, ‘See, we did not know this,’ does He who weighs the hearts not consider it? And does He who watches over your soul not know it? And will He not repay a person according to his work” (Proverbs 24:12 NASB). Do not be deceived, our vengeance will never bring peace but God’s vengeance will be done righteously and correctly.
Let us not be deceived but know man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness of God. “You know this, my beloved brothers and sisters. Now everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger; for a man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness of God” (James 1:19-20 NASB). The reading for June 11th, 2026, will be 1 Kings 5-6; 2 Chronicles 2-3. gsf

The reading for June 9th, 2026, is Proverbs 19-21. This year, we will follow the chronological reading plan, paying close attention to the strategies Satan uses to divert us from following God.
The proverbs continue to warn about pride and arrogance are a foundation for an unrighteous lifestyle characterized by using lies and deceptive speech to take advantage of others for their own gain. Today it goes a step further as we see the subversion of justice through false witnesses and bribes. God is a God of justice and to treat people unjustly or to not get justice for those who have been wrong is an abomination. The false witness is condemned twice. “A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who declares lies will not escape” (Proverbs 19:5 NASB). Then, “A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who declares lies will perish” (Proverbs 19:9 NASB). Then we are told why this is true. “A worthless witness makes a mockery of justice, and the mouth of the wicked swallows wrongdoing” (Proverbs 19:28 NASB). If we are a witness we need to be truthful so justice is done and all wrongdoing is punished. “The violence of the wicked will sweep them away, because they refuse to act with justice” (Proverbs 21:7 NASB). The wicked are warned to not take advantage of people through false weights and balances. “Differing weights and differing measures, both of them are abominable to the Lord” (Proverbs 20:10 NASB) and then repeated “Differing weights are an abomination to the Lord, and a false scale is not good” (Proverbs 20:23 NASB). Do not be deceived, the God of justice will bring justice and balance the scales in His time.
Satan will deceive us through ill gotten gain but God will bring it into judgment at the proper time in the proper way. “Bread obtained by a lie is sweet to a person, but afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel” (Proverbs 20:17 NASB). Let us be people of justice and act justly. The reading for June 10th, 2026, will be Proverbs 22-24. gsf

The reading for June 8th, 2026, is Proverbs 16-18. This year, we will follow the chronological reading plan, paying close attention to the strategies Satan uses to divert us from following God.
We still see the importance of watching our words during today’s reading. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit” (Proverbs 18:21 NASB). Especially when you think of spiritual life and death are only found in God’s word and you most know the truth if you want to be set free (John 8:31-33). Today’s lesson is particularly appropriate for the month where they celebrate pride. Maybe the saddest part of the deception of Satan is the same problem that caused his downfall is the one he uses to deceive so many people. When Satan can get us to believe we are better than others he has got us on his path and not God’s path. “Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord; be assured, he will not go unpunished” (Proverbs 16:5 NASB). Even if we were to become king of a country or people we cannot become arrogant or proud but continue in the way of the Lord. “It is an abomination for kings to commit wicked acts, because a throne is established on righteousness” (Proverbs 16:12 NASB). We will see this play out as we continue to read of the kings of Judah and Israel over the next few weeks. We have already seen the destruction of Pharaoh as he tried to stand against God in his arrogance and we will continue to see kingdoms fall because of the pride and arrogance of their kings. We need to understand it is not only true of kings but for all mankind. “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before stumbling” (Proverbs 16:18 NASB). The worst part of pride is when we think our thoughts are better than God’s. “There is a way which seems right to a person, but its end is the way of death” (Proverbs 16:25 NASB). Again, we have so many putting man-made doctrines ahead of God’s word and they will lead many people to eternal destruction.
Listen to the warning of Paul. “For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God as allotted to each a measure of faith” (Romans 12:3 NASB). Let us not be arrogant or prideful but learn the fear of the Lord. The reading for June 9th, 2026, will be Proverbs 19-21. gsf
