TGW – November 29-December 4
Monday, November 29, 2021 Read Joshua 2:1-15
Our text reads like a suspense
story. Joshua sends out spies to
Jericho. Their presence is reported to
the king. Rahab reacts quickly hiding
the spies. She confesses faith in the
Lord. She gets them to promise that she
and her family will be safe when warriors come to take the city. The spies are safe. Pray: Lord, protect me from those who
seek to tear me away from You. Amen.

Joshua 2:16-24
The spies could have painted a
bleak picture of their trip. The king
knows the Israelites are near. The city
is highly protected. The river could be
difficult to cross. Instead, the spies
report, “The Lord has without doubt given the entire land into our hands.” Pray: Lord, just as Joshua and his people
trusted in Your promise to give them the land, help me to trust You, believing
that Your plans for me are good. Amen.
Wednesday, November 31, 2021 Read Psalm 4:1-8
This psalm’s subject is familiar –
David is seeking God’s protection from his enemies. David begins with “Answer me when I call to You.” So confident that God hears his prayers, he
writes at the end, “I will lie down and sleep in peace.” Why? “For you alone, O
Lord, make me dwell in safety.” Pray:
God, in my time of suffering, remind me that my hope is in You. Amen.
Thursday, December 1, 2021 Read Matthew 9:1-13
We confess in the Creed that Jesus
is true God. Only God could read the
hearts of His opponents. Only God can
forgive sins. Only God can completely
heal a paralytic. The crowd saw this miracle
and were “filled with awe.” Too bad the
teachers of the law couldn’t feel the same.
Pray: Lord Jesus, as You called Matthew, thank You for calling me
through the Gospel. Amen.
Friday, December 2, 2021 Read Matthew 9:14-26
What do the Ruler and the sick
woman have in common? Faith! Both believed that Jesus had healing power and
that he was the answer to their prayers.
On top of all the miraculous things Jesus had done, He now demonstrates
that death is no obstacle for Him. Pray:
O Jesus, strengthen my faith so that I might trust You in all things. Amen.
Saturday, December 3, 2021 Read
Galatians 1:11-24
The theme of this section of
Galatians is clear – Paul is making a defense of his apostleship. Paul points
out that he received the Gospel from Jesus alone; he did not receive this Gospel
from Peter, James, or the other apostles.
He concludes that he, the one determined to destroy the faith, was now
proclaiming the faith in Christ alone. Pray:
Lord, strengthen my faith as I worship in Your House this weekend. Amen.
