Never Come The Day

Friday, September 18, 2026

Good morning, Lord

Father in Heaven, open my heart and mind, Holy Spirit. Fill my consciousness and complete Your joy in me as I take up my cross and follow...In Jesus' name…

Memory verse: 1 John 1:8–9

8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the 

truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and 

just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all 

unrighteousness.

Verse of the day: Ephesians 5:8 “You were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light...”

Today’s reading: Proverbs 30-31 2 Corinthians 11:1-15 

Never Come the Day

A friend was telling me of his awe of the Word of God and how God always makes something jump off the page that he has not seen before-even after reading the same passage many times.

If we are listening-if we are really hearing what we read-it will happen every time. But if we are reading to simply fulfill our quota, we could walk a way without what God has for us. Confess and be free. If you don't, wrestle with God until you realize your are not hearing because your ears are full of the world. Get it out in the name of Jesus and then read the word and hear God speak directly to you through His word.

Pray the day never comes when you read the word of God and nothing sticks out. Be on the ball. Expect to see new things. Slow down. Relax. Let God's word feed you. Have a conversation with God about what you are reading. There is nothing more important in a day than the time we take with God, alone.

Did you read that? Did you hear it? There is nothing you will do today that is of greater value to your soul-the only thing that you 'will take with you'-than the time you focus on God. It can be in the morning. It can be anytime and it can be all the time. But nothing will ever be greater in our lives than our attention to the Living Heart of God.

You may do great things for the kingdom and meet the needs of many but the basic need of your soul is to be fed and satisfied by God's love and wisdom to keep your heart free from sin and full of the joy of Christ.

Never come the day!

Tell God you want as much of Him as you can hold. Listen, read, pray, walk and talk with God as you live and you will really, really live.

...Because Jesus died that we might live...

...because He loves you, He will do it...

Father in Heaven,

I want to feel praise for Your name coming from deep in my soul. Lord, forgive me for not listening-keep my attention, whatever it takes. I want to hear. I want to know whatever You want for me to do Your will.

Father and Lord of all-mighty God!

In the name of Christ Jesus,

Amen
