Consider Carefully How You Listen

1-minute read for Monday, 6/9/25

“No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. 17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. 18 Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.” Luke 8:16-18 NIV Read full chapter

Jeremiah Study Bible Notes: If people choose to meditate deeply on His words, along with a settled determination to put them into practice, then God will open their minds to even more of His truth. But if they listen only to be entertained or to find fault – giving only careless attention to it – then even what they think they understand will be taken from them.

God’s Rescue in Times of Trouble: A Psalm 18 Insight

1-minute read for Friday, 6/6/25

“In my distress I called to the Lord;
    I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
    my cry came before him, into his ears…

He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
    he drew me out of deep waters.

He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
    from my foes, who were too strong for me.
They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
    but the Lord was my support.
He brought me out into a spacious place;
    he rescued me because he delighted in me.” Psalm 18: verse 6, and 16-19 NIV Read full chapter

Finding Strength in God’s Love: Lessons from Psalm 57

1-minute read for Thursday, 6/5/25

“I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
    I will sing of you among the peoples.
 For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;
    your faithfulness reaches to the skies.” Psalm 57:9-10 NIV Read full chapter

This is a psalm of David when he had fled from Saul into the cave. Although David’s enemies are out to destroy him, he sings of God’s love and faithfulness. When we are in trouble, may we do the same.

Honoring Sacrifice: What Jesus Teaches Us

1-minute read for Monday, 5/26/25

Jesus said, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” John 15:13

I watched a WW II movie yesterday about the battle of Guadalcanal. Many soldiers died in the attempt to take a hill. Many went forward knowing they had a slim chance of making it alive, but they went anyway. The movie showed the terror of the brave men who gave their lives for our country and our freedom.

On the way to church this morning, I saw a sign that said this:

All gave some. Some gave all.

May we honor our troops and veterans today in appreciation for their willingness to serve our country.

In His Love, Cindy

Following Christ’s Example

Sunday’s Memory Verse for 5/25/25

“To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.” 1 Peter 2:21 Read full chapter

What does it mean to follow in his steps? Someone could write a book on that! And someone did. First published in 1896, the book In His Steps, by Pastor Charles Sheldon, has sold more than 50 million copies and ranks as one of the bestselling books of all time. His book popularized the saying “What Would Jesus Do?”.
