Here's a devotional tool for busy people. Here's this week's Treasuring God's Word...
TGW – Jan. 24-29, 2022
Monday, January 24, 2022 Read Joshua
10:1-15
Many are the skeptics who refuse
to believe what is written in our reading.
However, if God is God then He is certainly capable stopping the sun in
its tracks for a full day. More important
is this – The same God who once made the sun stand still at Joshua’s request
listens to our prayers as well! Pray: God, You care for those who are
yours. Thank You for the care and love
You give to me. Amen.
Tuesday, January 25, 2022 Read Joshua
10:16-28
God’s judgment against the five
kings seems too severe. However, they
tried to stand in the way of the Lord keeping His covenant with His
people. Read verse 23 again – these are the
very words God spoke to Joshua when He took over leadership of God’s people. Pray: Lord, bring to my memory some of
Your Words so that I might encourage others around me. Amen.
Wednesday, January 26, 2022 Read Psalm 17:1-15
“Apple of Your eye” is the pupil
of the eye, which is essential for vision and must be carefully protected. God guards His people with the same care with
which a person guards his or her own eyes.
He shelters them with the same care with which a mother bird hovers over
her babies and protects them. (A Commentary on Psalms 1-72, page 232) Pray:
God, keep under Your protective sight.
Amen.
Thursday, January 27, 2022 Read Matthew
13:31-35,44-46
Life in Christ church began quite
small, like a mustard seed. God has
grown and grown the church and He is not stopping now! We who are part of God’s
Kingdom know that nothing else in this life compares with what God has for us
in eternity. Pray: Lord, save me
from the idolatry of this world. May my
heart always be Yours. Amen.

Matthew 13:47-58
Chapter 13 might be entitled, “Storytime
with Jesus.” However, these parables are
not just pleasant tales. They give us “snapshots”
of how God’s kingdom comes and how we should receive this wonderful news. Pray: Jesus, may I never be offended by
You but, instead, speak freely of Your truth and love. Amen.

Galatians 5:16-26
In 10 verses Paul contrasts the
difference between the sinful nature and that of the person who is led by the
Holy Spirit. There is nothing, no law,
to restrict such rich fruit of faith being produced in the life of a
believer. Pray: Jesus, through
repentance and faith, help me crucify my sinful nature so that the Spirit can
produce rich fruit of faith in me. Amen.
