The Righteous Day

Tuesday July 8, 2025

Good morning, Lord

Father in Heaven, I seek You first-the knowledge of Your kingdom and Your righteousness. Fill my consciousness constantly and complete Your joy in me as I take up my cross and follow...In Jesus' name…

Memory verse: Jeremiah 15:19 ESV

Therefore thus says the Lord: “If you return, I will restore you, and you shall stand before me. If you utter what is precious, and not what is worthless, you shall be as my mouth. They shall turn to you, but you shall not turn to them.”

Verse of the day:  Psalm 138:2

2 I bow down toward your holy temple  and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.

Today’s Reading: Job 36-37 Acts 15:22-41

The Righteous Day

We can be sure that everything that God made perfect is targeted by the enemy and the world to look better in sin. The world says,

“Let’s do it this way because it ‘feels’ better.”

“Science says that is not true.”

“History tells us that does not work.”

“You must hammer out your own happiness.”

“Answers can be found in the greatest of the educated and most successful and if you search long and hard, you will find all you need.”

Jesus says, “Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him…Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew 6:8,34

‘The world’s attraction, sin living in us, overwhelms us with things to worry about’—that might be true except for this fact: Nothing bothers us unless we allow it. Time spent not using God’s grace to live in His peace without worry is life wasted. In other words, ‘a life in worry is life wasted’.

I have seen people literally ‘worry themselves to death’ or worry all their lives until they die. This is most pitiful.

Jesus died to give us life most precious. Jesus says to not worry but to see the precious life He gives. See the perfect gifts given and learn to live in them-in Him. Work on releasing worry and grasping God’s peace in His grace this righteous day.

Ask Him how to turn worry into worship.

...because He loves us...He will do it…

Father in Heaven,

I must live hallowing Your name. Teach me how and how to seek Your kingdom and do Your will. Give me wisdom for today. Forgive me for worrying. Lead me away from allowing worry to block Your grace.

Father of every minute,

In the name of Jesus,

Amen
