Day 376 – Luke 4:7-8
Therefore, if You worship before me, it shall be Yours. Jesus answered him, “ It is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God and serve Him only’”. Luke 4:7-8, NIV Satan tempted Jesus to worship him and He will receive the Kingdom of this world. The enemy gave Him the option not to suffer and sacrifice His life just to see His Kingdom reign. It was Jesus’ chance to save Himself, but He didn’t listen to the devil’s lie. Our Savior chose to remember the word of God and worship Him more than His own life. He was not tempted because He chose to glorify our Heavenly Father. He…

Day 375 – Luke 4:3-4
The devil said to Him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written:’ Man shall not live on bread alone.’” Luke 4:3-4, NIV Jesus was in the wilderness when Satan tempted Him to use His power to satisfy His needs. During this moment, Jesus was so hungry, that’s why the enemy used this need to tempt Him to do something for Himself. Sometimes, just like Jesus, we also go through this kind of temptation in life. The devil will remind us about the things that we desire and He will convince us to seek them first rather than follow God.…

Then He went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But His mother treasured all these things in her heart. Luke 2: 51, NIV This event happened when Jesus was still 12 years old. He decided to stay in Jerusalem and be in the house of God. Mary and Joseph looked for Him for 3 days. They found the young Jesus at the temple, and then He went down to Nazareth and chose to obey his earthly family. The remarkable part of this verse is that Mary treasured these ordinary days with Jesus. She chose to take delight in Him while growing up. Maybe she doesn’t have…

Day 369 – Luke 2:40
And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was on him. Luke 2:40, NIV This verse refers to Jesus. He grew strong, and God filled Him with wisdom. Luke didn’t mention a lot of things about Jesus while growing up. He just said that the grace of God was on Him. During this moment, our savior was not publicly exposed yet. He was with his earthly family and doing the things that ordinary people do. We may not exactly know everything that happened to Him while He was a kid, but one thing is for sure, God is with Him in…

because the Lord disciplines those He loves, as a Father the son He delights in Proverbs 3:12, NIV Be grateful especially in moments when you receive the Lord’s discipline. It may be painful, but trust that God is aware of the things that He is doing. Just remain in His presence even if it hurts. Know that you are safe in His arms. Like your earthly Father, God delights in giving the best things in life. But before you receive what He prepared, He still needs to mold your character and develop you from the inside out so that you will have the ability to steward His blessings properly. Let…

So consult the only One who…

Day 366 – Luke 2:7
“and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. Luke 2:7, NIV Jesus was born in a manger. He is the Son of God, yet He enters this world with humility. Sometimes, it’s so easy for us to complain about the difficult situations of this world, not knowing that our Savior Himself was born in a place where animals live. Let’s not forget to be grateful for the blessings that we receive from God. We are surrounded by His abundant resources. So let’s make use of everything that we have.…

Day 361- Luke 1:80
And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the wilderness until he appeared publicly to Israel. Luke 1:80, NIV This verse was referring to John. With the help of God, he grew strong in spirit. But He was not exposed directly to the public. Our Heavenly Father guided John in the wilderness. He was there training him for the purpose that He planted in his heart. Just like you, John also experienced moments in the dessert. But God can turn your wilderness season into a preparation. In those times, you will experience so much pain and heartaches, but trust that He is there to give…

Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her! Luke 1:45, NIV This is what Elizabeth said to Mary when she visited her. Mary chose to believe in God’s promises instead of doubting His power. He humbly accepted the angel Gabriel’s prophecy without doubts and hesitation. Just like Mary, God is also giving us so many promises, and we need to believe with all our hearts that what He said will come to pass. We need to keep in mind that great things are coming despite the hardships we experience. He is faithful. It means that He will fulfill His promises according to His…
