God the Righteous Judge

Daily Bible Verse

Psalm 50:1-6 (NIV)

A Psalm of Asaph.

The Mighty One, God, the Lord,

    speaks and summons the earth

    from the rising of the sun to where it sets.

From Zion, perfect in beauty,

    God shines forth.

Our God comes

    and will not be silent;

a fire devours before Him,

    and around Him a tempest rages.

He summons the heavens above,

    and the earth, that He may judge His people:

“Gather to Me this consecrated people,

    who made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”

And the heavens proclaim His righteousness,

    for He is a God of justice.

Our Citizenship in Heaven

Daily Bible Verse

Philippians 3:17-21 (NIV)

Join together in following my example, 

brothers and sisters, 

and just as you have us as a model, 

keep your eyes on those who live as we do. 

For, as I have often told you before and 

now tell you again even with tears, 

many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. 

Their destiny is destruction, 

their god is their stomach, and 

their glory is in their shame. 

Their mind is set on earthly things. 

But our citizenship is in heaven. 

And we eagerly await a Savior from there, 

the Lord Jesus Christ, who, 

by the power that enables Him to bring 

everything under his control, 

will transform our lowly bodies 

so that they will be like His glorious body.

Read the Bible in a Year Week 36

This week we're moving into the book of Job. Job is considered to be the very first Bible book to ever be written, even before Moses penned the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Bible between 1445 B.C. and 1405 B.C.). Notice how much Job and others know about the world at such an early date.

Be Patient and Preserving

Daily Bible Verse

NKJV

James 5:7-8 (NIV)

Patience in Suffering

Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, 

until the Lord’s coming. 

See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, 

patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. 

You too, be patient and stand firm, 

because the Lord’s coming is near.

Are you a child of God?

Daily Bible Verse 1 John 3:1-2 (NIV)

The Children of God

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, 

that we should be called children of God! 

And that is what we are! 

The reason the world does not know us is that

it did not know Him. 

Dear friends, now we are children of God, 

and what we will be has not yet been made known. 

But we know that when Christ appears, 

we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
