From My Email Box to all of you... Here's today Sayings of Jesus Passage!!!

Luke 11:37-52
37) While he was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him; so he went in and sat at table. 38) The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner. 39) And the Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of extortion and wickedness. 40) You fools! Did not he who made the outside make the inside also? 41) But give for alms those things which are within; and behold, everything is clean for you. 42) "But woe to you Pharisees! for you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God; these you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. 43) Woe to you Pharisees! for you love the best seat in the synagogues and salutations in the market places. 44) Woe to you! for you are like graves which are not seen, and men walk over them without knowing it." 45) One of the lawyers answered him, "Teacher, in saying this you reproach us also." 46) And he said, "Woe to you lawyers also! for you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. 47) Woe to you! for you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. 48) So you are witnesses and consent to the deeds of your fathers; for they killed them, and you build their tombs. 49) Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, `I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,' 50) that the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation, 51) from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechari'ah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it shall be required of this generation. 52) Woe to you lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge; you did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering."

Here's Today's God's Daily Promise

This week's promise: Obeying God brings great joy
Is obeying God worth it?

If they listen and obey God, then they will be blessed with prosperity throughout their lives. All their years will be pleasant.

Job 36:11 NLT

The benefits of obedience

Sometimes you may wonder if obeying God is worth it. Job's friend, Elihu, concluded in Job 36:11 that God is just and does bless those who obey him. If you don't reap the benefits of obedience in this life, you will in the next.

The Pharisees in Jesus' day obeyed the law, but for all the wrong reasons. Jesus warned in Matthew 5:20 that God looks at people's hearts. He wants obedience that flows out of love for him.

But I warn you—unless you obey God better than the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees do, you can't enter the Kingdom of Heaven at all!

When the religious leaders commanded Peter and the apostles to stop preaching the gospel, their priorities were put to the test. Their answer, recorded in Acts 5:29, teaches us that obedience to God must come first, even if it requires personal sacrifice.

But Peter and the apostles replied, "We must obey God rather than human authority."

God has not hidden the secret of obedience—he has made his expectations clear. Micah 6:8 summarized the way people can please God.

No, O people, the Lord has already told you what is good, and this is what he requires: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.

Yesterday's God's Daily Promise

This week's promise: Obeying God brings great joy
Could be as consistent as Noah?

So Noah did everything exactly as God had commanded him..

Genesis 6:22 NLT

A man of consistent obedience

Imagine someone who doesn't pay employees cheap wages event though he enjoys a fancy house and swanky cars. Someone who doesn't indulge in movies full of sultry sex scenes. If you know such a person, you may have found someone seeking consistent obedience to God and his Word.

Noah went against the grain of his generation. As Genesis 6:9 says, "Noah was a righteous man, the only blameless man on earth at the time. He consistently followed God's will and enjoyed a close relationship to him." He stood out from others of his time whose thoughts and actions were "consistently and totally evil." (Genesis 6:5)

Apparently folks had never seen rain fall out of the sky (Gen. 2:5), but Noah obeyed God's instructions: hammering, sawing, and building for 120 years (Gen. 6:3). Noah warned people of God's judgment (2 Pet. 2:5), but even if he had never said a word, his pounding hammer rang a warning of wrath to come. Later, the truth of those words echoed as the ark floated above a world of corpses.

After Noah's family of eight emerged into a washed-out world, he held a thanksgiving service. If God was pained by a world of ungrateful human beings (Gen. 6:6), he must have been consoled by a grateful Noah (Gen. 8:20).

Sadly, the father who was buoyed atop a world of water got drunk on land (Gen. 9:20-27). It only takes one indiscretion to mar a life of righteousness.

A bow with arrows was a principal weapon in ancient warfare. After the world was washed away in Noah's time, God set a (rain) bow in the sky to remind us that we would never again destroy the world by water. Our God is consistently faithful.

Yesterday's Sayings of Jesus

Matthew 13:16-33
16) "But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. 17) Truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it. 18) Hear then the parable of the sower. 19) When any one hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what is sown in his heart; this is what was sown along the path. 20) As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21) yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away. 22) As for what was sown among thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the delight in riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. 23) As for what was sown on good soil, this is he who hears the word and understands it; he indeed bears fruit, and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty." 24) Another parable he put before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25) but while men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26) So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also. 27) And the servants of the householder came and said to him, `Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then has it weeds?' 28) He said to them, `An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, `Then do you want us to go and gather them?' 29) But he said, `No; lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them. 30) Let both grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.'"

Today's God's Daily Promise

This week's promise: Obeying God brings great joy
How much to you trust your Heavenly Father?

If you love me, obey my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, who will never leave you.… Those who obey my commandments are the ones who love them. And because they love me, my Father will love them, and I will love them. And I will reveal myself to each one of them.

Matthew 21:28-32 NLT

An expression of trust

Parents set up rules for their children: Clean up your room, don't go anywhere with a stranger; be home by 11 p.m. The purpose, of course, is for the children's benefit and protection; loving parents are not trying to make their children miserable by given them rules to follow. And parents hope that their children will understand rules as expressions of love and concern; they hope their children's obedience will be motivated more by love than by fear of punishment. Our obedience to Christ should likewise be an expression of our trust in his care for us.

Todays Sayings of Jesus

John 8:12-25
12) Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." 13) The Pharisees then said to him, "You are bearing witness to yourself; your testimony is not true." 14) Jesus answered, "Even if I do bear witness to myself, my testimony is true, for I know whence I have come and whither I am going, but you do not know whence I come or whither I am going. 15) You judge according to the flesh, I judge no one. 16) Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for it is not I alone that judge, but I and he who sent me. 17) In your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true; 18) I bear witness to myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness to me." 19) They said to him therefore, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me nor my Father; if you knew me, you would know my Father also." 20) These words he spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple; but no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come. 21) Again he said to them, "I go away, and you will seek me and die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come." 22) Then said the Jews, "Will he kill himself, since he says, `Where I am going, you cannot come'?" 23) He said to them, "You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. 24) I told you that you would die in your sins, for you will die in your sins unless you believe that I am he."
