Good day to you all! This week's TGW continues its look at Joshua, Matthew and Galatians. May God bless you as you Treasure God's Word!
TGW – Dec. 6-11, 2021
Monday, December 6, 2021 Read Joshua
3:1-8
See verse four again – maybe you
face something new – job or relationship or retirement? Like Joshua and the Israelites, we are often
called to follow the Lord, by faith, trusting in Him even thought we might have
never before been on the way the Lord is leading. Pray: God, help me cast my cares on You
as I follow the path you are leading me on.
Amen.
Tuesday, December 7, 2021 Read Joshua
3:9-17
Who but the Living God could part
the waters of a river! (vs. 10) Obviously,
God has told Joshua in advance what it is He will do. Acting on the Word of God, the priests cross
the Jordan River without getting their feet wet, and the same for the entire
nation. Pray: God, You are the
mighty ruler of all things. Give me
faith to hand over all of my “impossible” situations over to You. Amen.
Wednesday, December 8, 2021 Read Psalm 5:1-12
As you read the Psalm, did you
catch the theme? David writes that God’s House is our refuge, His protection is
our defense. Pray: In the morning,
O Lord, You hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before You and wait
in expectation. Amen. (vs.3)
Thursday, December 9, 2021 Read Matthew
9:27-38
There is an ironic situation here –
the blind men call Jesus “Son of David,” meaning “Messiah,” and they now “see”
Jesus while the crowd, the religious leaders and the disciples remain blind. It’s no wonder the healed men tell all what
Jesus has done for them. Pray:
Jesus, thank You for being my Good Shepherd.
Help me to witness Your compassion to others. Amen.
Friday, December 10, 2021 Read Matthew
10:1-25
Would you be willing to take on a
job in which not everyone will like what you’re doing? Jesus is preparing his
disciples for missionary work. But Jesus
warns them that not everyone will gladly welcome them and, in fact, many will oppose
their message. Pray: Jesus, if the
disciples faced opposition to the Gospel, I can expect the same as I speak of You
to others. Give me courage to speak
anyway. Amen.
Saturday, December 11, 2021 Read Galatians
3:1-18
“Faith alone, faith alone, faith
alone!” Paul hammers his message because the Galatians have lost sight of the
gracious gift God gives in the Gospel.
Verses 10-14 make clear the difference between Law and Gospel, and how
the Law becomes a “curse” when a person tries to keep it perfectly. Pray: Thank You, Jesus, for paying the
price to free me from the curse of the Law so that I can trust You solely for
forgiveness of sins, new life and eternal life someday. Amen.
