Amos 5:16
Therefore, this is what the Lord, the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies, says: There will be crying in all the public squares and mourning in every street. Call for the farmers to weep with you.
The events surrounding today’s verse take place in the Northern Kingdom under the rule of King Jeroboam II. The nation at that time was enjoying a time of great prosperity. However, this prosperity was built at the expense of the poor and vulnerable. It was at this time that Amos, a shepherd and fig-tree farmer was called by God to deliver a direr warning to the Northern Kingdom that because of their disobedience, arrogance, and mistreatment of the poor and vulnerable, they would face God’s judgment. It would be a swift and devastating judgment, just like the plague God unleashed upon Egypt. Today, Amos’s words serve as a warning that outward prosperity does not mean a society is spiritually healthy. God is more interested in the condition of our hearts and not how prosperous we are. So, it is important that we make sure we are living in accordance to God’s will before it is to late.

Psalm 103:9
He will not constantly accuse us, nor remain angry forever.
It was likely later in David’s life when he wrote the Psalm that today’s verse comes from. Unlike many of his Psalms, where David praises God for delivering him from enemies and danger, Psalm 103 looks back over a lifetime of mercy. David reflects not only on what God rescued him from, but also on the forgiveness God showed him when judgment would have been deserved. This verse offers assurance and comfort for believers that God will not hold their sins against them forever. Today, we can be confident that God is not keeping a running list of accusations against those who trust in Him. His heart is not set on anger, but on restoration. Because of His mercy, we can stop carrying what He has already forgiven and begin walking again in the freedom of His forgiveness.

Ezra 9:12
Don’t let your daughters marry their sons! Don’t take their daughters as wives for your sons. Don’t ever promote the peace and prosperity of those nations. If you follow these instructions, you will be strong and will enjoy the good things the land produces, and you will leave this prosperity to your children forever.
Today’s verse is part of Ezra’s public prayer that he prayed outside the temple. It is the post-exile period and Ezra, and the second wave of exiles have returned to Jerusalem. Upon his return Ezra learns that many of the returned Jewish exiles have begun intermarrying with neighboring non-Jewish peoples. Ezra’s concern was not simply about nationality or ethnicity. The concern here was spiritual compromise. Ezra feared that the returning exiles would compromise their renewed relationship, identity, and purpose God had restored to them. For us today, this passage challenges us to think carefully about the influences we allow to shape our faith, values, and decisions. Relationships and daily encounters can either draw us closer to God or lead us away from Him.

Nahum 2:10
Soon the city is plundered, empty, and ruined. Hearts melt and knees shake. The people stand aghast, their faces pale and trembling.
Today’s verse comes from Nahum’s prophecy concerning the fall of the Assyrian empire, the most powerful nation on earth at that time and the destruction of the city of Nineveh, its capital. A hundred years earlier, God sent the prophet Jonah to Nineveh with a message calling for the people to repent, which they did. But now, once again, they fell back into sin and would suffer the consequences for their sins as God would destroy the Assyrian empire and Nineveh. The Assyrians believed they were invincible, but human power is nothing when compared to God’s. Today the world is still filled with arrogant nations and leaders who believe they are invincible, but like Assyria they too, at some point in time, will face God’s judgment. We can hide our sins from others but not from God. God rules over all the earth, even over those who reject Him. No one can hide from God’s judgment, but those who trust in Him will be kept safe for all time.

James 4:17
Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.
When it comes to sin, people generally associate sin to doing something that goes against God’s teachings. But in today’s verse, James reminds us that refusing to do something that you know is right is also a sin.
This means that obedience is not only about avoiding what is wrong but also acting faithfully when God shows us what is right. James’ words remind us that once God opens our eyes to what should be done, we are responsible for how we respond. It is easy to make excuses for our inaction. Generally, it’s because we don’t want to get involved or if we wait long enough someone else will step in. When God places a clear burden on our hearts, the faithful response is to act with humility, courage, and trust and not turn and look the other way.

2 Peter 3:8
But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day.
Peter is writing to early Christians living in Asia Minor who were facing persecution and false teachers who were spreading doubt about the promised return of Jesus. Quoting today’s verse from Moses’ prayer found in Psalm 90, Peter explains to them that God’s timing is far different then what we expect.
Living in a time were people are obsessed with instant results, this verse reminds us that God views time differently. His time operates on an eternal scale not a twenty four hour scale. This passage speaks directly to our human impatience, especially when it comes to expecting God to answer our prayers in our time frame. Instead of jumping to the conclusion that God has ignored or forgotten you when a prayer is not answered as quickly as you wanted, exercise patience and take time to pray and be assured that God will answer you when He deems the time is right.

Romans 8:32
Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?
Paul was in Corinth, Greece, on his third missionary journey when he wrote to the early Christians in Rome. Today’s verse comes from the part of the letter were Paul speaks to them about God’s unlimited love. Paul had not yet visited the church in Rome, and he wanted to assure them that God has already given the greatest possible gift through His son and that was salvation, and they could be confident that He will not withhold anything that was good for them. Because of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, believers today can be confident that God, because of His great love for them, will not hold back anything that is essential to their spiritual or eternal wellbeing while here on earth.

Deuteronomy 4:31
For the Lord your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon you or destroy you or forget the solemn covenant he made with your ancestors.
Looking at today’s verse, the Israelites are camped on the plain of Moab on the East side of the Jordan River. They are in the process of preparing to cross over to the Promised Land. Moses has called them together and is reminding them of the covenant God made with them and of the consequences they will suffer if they break the covenant. In this verse, Moses assures them that God will never abandon them and will keep the covenant He made with their ancestors. For believers today, God’s promise to the Israelites that He would not abandon them still applies. God is always faithful in His commitment to us. We are the ones that drift away and break our covenant with Him. Thankfully, God’s compassion and mercy surpasses our disobedience and He is always there to forgive our failures.
