Day 1
Sermon on the mount - describes how we are blessed. We are the light of the world. Shine before others. The Lords prayer. Where your treasure is there your heart will be also. We can't serve God and money. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. Don't be anxious about tomorrow.
Day 2
The centurion had a great faith. He believed that Jesus could just say the word and it would be done, and it was. Come to Me all who are heavy laden and I will give you rest.
Day 3
A sinful woman anointed Jesus and wept at His feet. Her faith had saved her, and she was told to go in peace. Blessed are those who hear the word of God keep it. Whoever does the will of the Father is Jesus's family.
Day 4
Be Christlike inside and out. The scribes and Pharisees were just waiting to catch Jesus in something He might say to convict Him. We too will be watched closely but the unbelievers so that they can ridicule us and convict us of not being a good Christian. Pray to be strong in your beliefs and that you will live a life worthy of Christs calling. We all mess up but when you do, pray and repent and He will forgive.
Day 5 Day 6
Jesus preached in parables. Jesus came for sinners.
Day 7
Jesus would ask the people if they believed that He could do what they had asked (to be healed) They would say yes and their faith in Him healed their illnesses His fame continued to spread. Jesus would send out His apostles to the lost sheep of Israel They were like sheep in the midst of wolves. Don't fear the Lord will give you the words and will protect you.

Week 38 September 17-23
Day 1
Ezekiel is given the measurements of the temple.
The glory of God came from the east. The sound was like many waters, the earth shone with His glory. Ezekiel fell on his face and the spirit lifted him and brought him to inner court. The glory of the Lord filled the temple. Spirit spoke to Ezekiel and said this is where God will dwell, the people have done many iniquities and should be ashamed.
Day 2
The outer gate of the temple must remain shut and no one should enter it but the Lord. Mark well all that you have seen and heard so that you can tell the Israelites. This is so that they will turn back to the Lord. The priests will need to teach the people the difference between holy and common, clean and unclean things.
Day 3
The name of the city from that time on shall be called, "The Lord is there"
A Lament for Egypt.
Day 4
Nebuchadnezzar had a dream that worried and scared him. The dream had to do with his power, strength and how he would be cut off. Daniel told him to break off your sins by practicing righteousness and show mercy to the oppressed. Neb was a very proud man and he was humbled. When his reason was restored he blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him. All God's works are right and His ways are right and just. Those who walk in pride He is able to humble.
Day 5
May God be gracious and bless us and make His face to shine upon us. That His ways may be known on earth. Let the people praise You, O God. To the Lord I lift up my eyes. The eyes of the servants look to the hand of their master, our eyes look to the Lord our God. Have mercy upon us Lord. I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, in His word I hope.
Day 6
After 70 years Babylon will be punished. Then Israel and Judah will join together and seek the Lord. Our Redeemer is strong: the Lord of hosts is His name.
Day 7
King of Babylon, (Belshazzar), had a party and used the sacred vessels from the temple of the Lord to drink out of. The hand wrote on the wall and they were fearful. The heart of the king was proud and needed to be humbled. God has numbered his days. He was an unfair king and his kingdom would be divided. The king was then killed the next day.
I am reminded many times though this reading that I too can become proud. My heart needs to be humble before others and especially before my God. Lord help us all to have a humbleness and give us Your grace and mercy. Amen.

Week 37 September 10 - 16
Day 1
The people left in Judah were told to live under the command of Nebuchadnezzar and they would be ok. But the leader was struck down.
The people needed to pray that God may show them the way that they should go and what they should do. But they needed to listen to what God said and not just do what they thought was best. What God says to do will ALWAYS be better than what we think of on our own.
Day 2
The people didn't want to listen to Jeremiah and said he was lying. The Lord continued to send his servants to tell the people what to do and what not to do but they would not listen.
Day 3
The people will fall by the sword their proud might will come to an end.
Day 4
Nebuchadnezzar made a golden image that all people were to fall down and worship. Whoever did not worship this image was to be thrown in the fiery furnace. When the three men wouldn't bow before the golden image Neb was furious. He said, what god is there who will deliver you out of my hands? The men said we don't have to answer that but our God who we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace and will deliver us from your hand. Even if he doesn't we still won't serve other gods or worship this image. These man stood up for righteousness even to the point of death. Their God would be with them no matter what. When Neb saw them in the fire and there was a fourth person that had the appearance of the son of the gods he called them out. He said blessed be the God of these men He has delivered them. He made a decree that no one was to speak anything offensive against their God. There is no other God who is able to deliver in this way.
How great are His signs and how mighty are His wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and His dominion it's from generation to generation.
The Lord takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live.
Day 5
Woe to the shepherds feeding themselves when they should be feeding the flock. The Lord will search for His sheep and seek them out. He will feed them and give them rest and blessings. You are the sheep of the Lord's pasture and He is your God. The Lord will restore His people and will give them a new heart and a new spirit and will remove the heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh.
Day 6
The vision of the valley of the dry bones. The Lord will restore Israel. He will be their God and they will be his people. His dwelling place will be with them. God will show His greatness, holiness and make Himself known in the eyes of many nations. They will know that He is The Lord.
Day 7
Ezekiel sees the vision of the new temple. He sees every little detail and sees the measurements. Our God is into details. He cares a out the details in your life as well, share them with Him and be encouraged in Him today.
