Advocacy for Orphans and the Oppressed

Cindy Dawson

Sunday, 1/19/25

“Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Rebuke the oppressor,
Obtain justice for the orphan,
Plead for the widow’s case.” Isaiah 1:17 NASB Read full chapter

Note: Justice for the orphan (Cheyne); see that he is not wronged – be his champion. Plead for the widow; i.e. plead her cause in the courts… lean towards her, as if her advocate. The widow and the orphan were taken under God’s special protection from the time of Moses, and constantly commended to the tender care of the righteous (Pulpit Commentary)

Finding Truth in a Conflicted World

Cindy Dawson

Friday’s Verse, 1/17/25

“To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32 NIV Read full chapter

Comment: In our world today, people disagree about what is True. But there is a way to find Truth. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.

Cleansed From a Guilty Conscience

Cindy Dawson

Verses for Meditation, 1/16/25

“Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:22-23 NIV

Note: Our hope is so certain that the author previously calls it our anchor (6:19). Blood was sprinkled at Mount Sinai on the priests and even on the people. Under the New Covenant, people’s hearts are inwardly sprinkled with Christ’s blood to cleanse them from a guilty conscience when they come to faith. (Jeremiah Study Bible)

Hallelujah!

The Power of Loving Actions

Cindy Dawson

Quote of the Week, 1/15/25

“Do not waste time bothering whether you ‘love’ your neighbor,” C.S. Lewis advises, but rather “act as if you did. As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets: when you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love them.”

from How to Forgive the Unforgiveable, By Mitch Teemley

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:30-31 NIV

Hospitality in Christian Life

Cindy Dawson

Tuesday’s Verse, 1/14/25

“Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.” Hebrews 13:2 NIV

Note: Historically, the early Christians were known for their hospitality, often opening their homes to fellow believers and travelers. This was not just a social nicety but a vital part of their witness and community life. (Berean Study Bible)

Confidence in Prayer

Cindy Dawson

Sunday’s Memory Verse, 1/12/25

“Therefore let’s approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at the time of our need.” Hebrews 4:16 NASB

Note: God’s people do not need to fear being turned away, so they never need to hide or omit anything from their prayers. God gives mercy for past failures and grace for present needs. (Jeremiah Study Bible)

Sharing Your Testimony

Cindy Dawson

Friday’s Verse, 1/10/25

“But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,” 1 Peter 3:15 NIV

Christians cannot be confidently prepared to give an answer unless they have immersed themselves in God’s Word. (Jeremiah Study Bible notes)

How God’s Word Judges Hearts and Minds

Cindy Dawson

Verses for Meditation, 1/9/25

“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.” Hebrews 4:12-13 NIV
