Day 144 - Teach Me the Way of God Read: Psalm 119:33-40;Proverbs 2:1-3; Titus 1; Joshua 9-10 Psalm 119 33 Teach me, LORD, the way of your decrees, that I may follow it to the end. 34 Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law and obey it with all my heart. 35 Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight. 36 Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain. 37 Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word. 38 Fulfill your promise to your servant, so that you may be feared. 39 Take away the disgrace I dread, for your laws are good. 40 How I long for your precepts! In your righteousness preserve my life. What a good prayer that this part of the Psalm has taught us! The Psalmist here asked the Lord to teach him God’s Words SO THAT he may obey the Word of God to the end! He asked for understanding SO THAT he may keep the law with all his heart. He asked that God fulfil His promise

Day 143 - Love and Law Read: Psalm 119:25-32;Proverbs 1:30-33; 2 Tim 4; Joshua 7-8 Joshua 8 30 Now Joshua built an altar to the Lord God of Israel in Mount Ebal, 32 And there, in the presence of the children of Israel, he wrote on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he had written. 34 And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and the cursings, according to all that is written in the Book of the Law. 35 There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel, with the women, the little ones, and the strangers who were living among them. After God has delivered Ai to the Israelites, Joshua built an altar to the Lord God as a sign of thanksgiving and worship to God. Subsequently, he wrote the law of Moses and read ALL of what Moses had written. This is noteworthy to show the importance of God’s law which is our Bible today. We must continually read His Words so that we are prepared for Kingdom’s

Day 142: Blessed Assurance Read: Psalm 119:17-24;Proverbs 1:27-29; 2 Tim 3; Joshua 5-6 Joshua 5 12 Then the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten the produce of the land; and the children of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate the food of the land of Canaan that year. 13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, "Are You for us or for our adversaries?" 14 So He said, "No, but as Commander of the army of the Lord I have now come." And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, "What does my Lord say to His servant?" 15 Then the Commander of the Lord's army said to Joshua, "Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy." And Joshua did so. God provides just enough for us. The minute the Israelites were eating produce of t

Day 141: Leaving A Legacy Read: Psalm 119:9-16; Proverbs 1:24-26; 2 Tim 2; Joshua 3-4 2 Timothy 2:2-6 And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. The hardworking farmer must be first to partake of the crops.” II Timothy 2:2-6 NKJV http://bible.us/114/2ti.2.2-6.nkjv This year when I went to China,I was talking to the locals there. I am proud to learn that they wanted to ensure that they leave a legacy to their children. They said they live not just to enjoy themselves but they want to have children so that their children will carry on the culture and traditions of Chinese. I thought this

Day 140: Abide In Christ Read: Psalm 119:1-8; Proverbs 1:20-23; 2 Tim 1; Joshua 1-2 Joshua 2:19-21 19 If any of them go outside your house into the street, their blood will be on their own heads; we will not be responsible. As for those who are in the house with you, their blood will be on our head if a hand is laid on them. 20 But if you tell what we are doing, we will be released from the oath you made us swear.” 21 “Agreed,” she replied. “Let it be as you say.” So she sent them away, and they departed. And she tied the scarlet cord in the window. The above incident depicted a beautiful picture on the concept of abiding in Christ. When the judgment was about to be executed, when one was in the house of Rahab, even though he or she was not a family member of Rahab, the person would not be killed. Similarly, when we believe in Jesus Christ, the promise is that He will abide in us as we abide in Him and hence, we will be able to escape the judgment of hell. Romans 10:9 says, “if
