212. Fruitful Living

Tonight’s meditation will remind you that the Holy Spirit is the centre of our Christian lives. He is the God who carries His people and will not abandon us. Tonight’s reading is: Galatians 6:1-6 and 9-10.

Entrust yourself entirely to the Lord tonight and discover the strength of His arms to carry you in Exodus 7.

The 12 tribes of Israel play a crucial role in how the story of the Bible unfolds. These descendents of the sons of Jacob (renamed Israel) form the backbone of the redemption story the culminates in Jesus. In this Discover the Word study with archaeologist Dr. Jonathan Greer, the group explores a little discussed tribe of Israel that has a shady past going all the way back to the patriarch himself–Jacob’s son Dan. Sometimes the stories in the Bible surprise us and make us feel uncomfortable, and leave us thinking “That’s not the way it’s supposed to be!” Such is the case for much of The Story of Dan. But while the tribe of Dan has a mixed legacy when it comes to worshipping God, this study reveals how God, remaining faithful to His promises to Abraham, redeems Dan and all of Israel in Jesus, who makes things the way they should be. 

Rest in the goodness and faithfulness of your heavenly Father’s heart with Psalm 34.

Let your mind fill up with the wonder of Jesus Christ, King of the universe, giving it all up for you. Tonight’s reading is: Colossians 1:15-20.

Sleep in peace tonight, knowing you are held by the Lord who never tires or slumbers. Tonight’s reading is: Psalm 16:7-11.

Come and know the One who saves.
