Day 402 – Luke 6:20
Looking at his disciples, he said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.” Luke 6:20, NIV Those who are poor in spirit are people who acknowledge the truth that they are nothing without the help of God. They are poor because they are aware that God alone can satisfy the thirst and hunger that they feel inside. They chose to lean on His presence and depend on His ways because they knew that they were poor enough to fix themselves. The Kingdom of God is closer to those who seek more of Him. Let’s not forget that we need God. So let’s depend on…

Day 401 – Proverbs 5:21
For your ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all your paths. Proverbs 5: 21, NIV This verse was written by Solomon to any man who was dealing with temptation with an adulterous woman. He reminded them that God sees our ways, whether it is done in public or private. We can never hide away from His presence. He examines our hearts and all our paths. May these words remind us to stay true to our Heavenly Father. He was watching over us. He knows what we are doing in secret. Let’s continue to honor Him in everything that we do. We may not feel His…

Day 400 – Luke 6:12
One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. Luke 6:12, NIV Jesus went to the mountainside to pray despite His busy schedule. He is already perfect and Holy, but He demonstrated to us how to abide in God’s will. He still has that humble heart to consult our heavenly Father about the best thing to do. He submitted to His commands, and He didn’t rely on His own will. Sometimes, the activities that we have will lead us to forget our prayer time. But may we always remind ourselves to do what is right in the eyes of God,…

Day 399 – Proverbs 3:7
Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. Proverbs 3:7, NIV Submit to God and choose to consult with Him. Be guided by His words, and always remember that He knows what’s ahead. Do not rely on your own understanding. There may be things that you already know, but keep in mind that tomorrow is always uncertain. You never really know what will happen next. So stop focusing on your own will. Instead, follow God and fear Him. Acknowledge His grace in your life. And submit to Him all your worries and cares. Listen to His voice, for He is always directing you. Let…

Day 398 – Luke 6:3-5
Jesus answered them, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? He entered the house of God, and taking the consecrated bread, he ate what is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.” Then Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.” Luke 6:3-5, NIV The Pharisees in Jesus’ time only focus on the rules and traditions and not on the things that matter most. They believed that His disciples violated their self-made rules. They reacted to how they behaved because they thought they were not respecting the Sabbath day. The Pharisees…

Day 397 – Luke 5:31
Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. Luke 5:31, NIV We sometimes set our eyes on people who did good things for us. We tend to neglect those who are broken and in pain because we think that we can’t handle them. But we must remember that Jesus taught us to take good care of the sick – those who are hurting physically and emotionally. We must not condemn them. Just because they sin doesn’t mean they no longer have the chance to know our Savior. Jesus died to save us from our sins. He came for the sick people and not…

Day 396 – Luke 5:29
Then Levi held a great banquet for Jesus at his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors and others were eating with them. Luke 5:29, NIV Jesus called Levi or also known as Matthew, to become His follower. Without any doubt or fear, he responded to the voice of our Savior. Levi knew that when He followed Jesus, it would be very hard for him to come back to His old life, but that fact didn’t stop Him from celebrating His life with Jesus. In fact, he even invited other tax collectors to be with them. Levi didn’t just keep the good news on His own. Instead, he also…

Day 395 – Luke 5:24-25
But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on, and went home praising God. Luke 5:24-25, NIV Jesus can heal you. If He was able to heal this paralyzed man, then He can possibly do the same thing in your life. He can even forgive sins and set you free from bondage. He is your Savior, so trust in Him. Get up and live a new life free…

Day 394 – Luke 5:20, NIV
When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.” Luke 5: 20, NIV Jesus was in a large crowd when He noticed a group of friends who were helping a paralyzed man. He saw their faith and knew what the sick man truly needed. As much as He wanted his body to be restored, Jesus knew that man needed mercy. This man needs to be forgiven so that he will be fully healed. That’s why Jesus released His grace first before the healing took place. There are times in our lives when we also feel like this paralyzed man. We think that we truly need the things that…

Day 391 – Luke 5:18-19
Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus. Luke 5:18-19, NIV These men didn’t leave their paralyzed friend on their own. They chose to carry the man to Jesus despite the crowd. They looked for ways how to help him. They didn’t leave him alone. Many times we also meet people who are broken…
