Treasuring God's Word - 2/14-2/19

If it's Monday it's time for another week of TGW.  God bless your devotional time this week!

TGW – Feb. 14-19, 2022

Monday, February 14, 2022                                Read Ruth 2:8-23

Happy Valentine's Day! What a change of attitude for Naomi! God has brought into her and Ruth’s lives a man who extends favor to them both.  Boaz continually makes sure that Ruth is safe and taken care of.  “Kinsman-Redeemer” describes the honor and obligation that belongs to someone who is a near blood relative.  Pray: Jesus, thank You for being my redeemer shedding Your blood on the cross to pay for my sins.  Amen.

 

Tuesday, February 15, 2022                                Read Ruth 3:1-18

Boaz, the kinsman-redeemer, continues to show great grace to Ruth, “a woman of noble character.”  Boaz promises to take on the role of kinsman-redeemer should the one who could take on that role refuses to do so.  In the meantime, Boaz does not send Ruth away empty handed.  Such grace! Pray: Lord Jesus, You pour out Your grace upon me.  Receive my praise from my grateful heart.  Amen.

 

Wednesday, February 16, 2022                         Read Psalm 22:1-31

Many passages in this psalm describe with remarkable precision many aspects of Christ’s crucifixion making it a marvelous revelation of the Gospel – Christ crucifixion foretold.  Were you able to identify the verses which describe the passion of the Christ? Pray: Christ Jesus, bless my meditation this day as I think about the lengths You went to save me.  Amen.

 

Thursday, February 17, 2022                              Read Matthew 15:21-28

The story of the woman who has great faith.  V.22 – She identifies Jesus as the One sent by God; V. 25 – She worships the Lord; V.27 – She shows her unworthiness but is willing to accept the smallest act of grace from Jesus.  The Lord responds to faith, whether from Jew or Gentile.  Pray: Jesus, as You heard the request from the Canaanite woman, You hear my request too.  Today I ask You…

 

Friday, February 18, 2022                                    Read Matthew 15:29-39

Jesus continues to draw large crowds.  The disciples are presented a second opportunity to trust Jesus to feed the people.  The fail again.  Never the less, the Lord meets the needs of the people.  Pray: Jesus, help me to trust You with this concern that I have…

 

Saturday, February 19, 2022                               Read Galatians 6:11-18

Paul gives one last reminder to his readers of the harm his opponents cause by their insistence that the males be circumcised.  Such an act could lead to person to feel superior to others.  See verse 15 again – when did you become a new creation? In your baptism! Pray: Jesus, ready my heart to hear Your Word and receive Your supper in worship this Sunday.  Amen.
