Today´s reading:
OT: Numbers 28:16-31, Numbers 29
NT: Luke 3:23-38
Ps: Psalm 62
Pr: Proverbs 11:18-19
Today´s notable verse:
Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge.
Selah
I love the imagery of pouring out my heart to God! God wants authenticity, not formality. God wants us to be real with him – sincere, honest, and open. He wants us to be ourselves with Him. God does not want our “prayer language” but the innermost thoughts and desires of our heart.
The One Year Bible Blog asks:
Today in Proverbs chapter 11 verse 18 we read – “who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.” Are you sowing righteousness in your life? How are you sowing righteousness in your life? Do you love others at the same level you love yourself? Are you working diligently for your employer? Are you serving the poor? Do you believe that the farming analogy of sowing and reaping in this Proverb is true? And like any good farming analogy, will you patiently sow and patiently await the time of reaping?
The principle of reaping what we sow is undoubtedly true. This verse is a very good reminder to be intentional about what I am sowing, and to be thankful to God for His grace in working through what I sow.
