I love that in today's reading, Jesus leaves "no room to wiggle" when it comes to his authority. The smartest, most well read leaders of the day, could not "trap" Jesus into saying something that would get him in trouble with the government of the day. Not only that, his wisdom was so spot on, everyone was amazed and those whose hearts were soft and repentant, praised him and believed in him. Those who did not want to bow to him and relinquish their temporary places of authority made plans to kill him. Love him or kill him. I choose the first, how bout you?
This blog is devoted to encouraging believers to walk daily with God through reading His word and talking - listening to Him in prayer.
For the next 40 Days, one verse from our devotional reading in the book of Philippians will appear as the "blog." After you have spent time with God, meditating (ruminating, mulling, pondering, "pronouncing" the passage write an insight or two in the comment section. This will be a good way to encourage each other!
Also, if you want to read through the Bible chronologically this year you can click on today's date on the right side of this page under the header "Today's Chronological Bible Reading" and you will be taken to the reading. (Please excuse and know that we do not endorse any advertising links that sometimes appear above the date. These ads are automatically uploaded with the RSS feed that gives us the daily reading.) Also, on the right side you will find the link to the One Year Bible Online site. We hope you enjoy getting to know our great God better by interacting with Him through his word! "For we walk by faith, not by sight." 2 Corinthians 5:7
