DAY 14 Mark 2:14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him. Jesus indeed found Levi sitting at the receipt of custom. That was his working office so we could say he was... Continue Reading →
WHAT DOES GOD WANT FROM YOU?
DAY 5 Yesterday, the question Jesus asked the disciples was one we were meant to give careful consideration to: 'what do you want?'

AN OPPORTUNITY TO WITNESS
326/365 Luke 21:13 This will be a time and an opportunity for you to testify [about Me].

PRAYING CHALLENGES AWAY
323/365 Luke 23:39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

286/365 Luke12:7 But [even] the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not be struck with fear or seized with alarm; you are of greater worth than many [flocks] of sparrows.

DON’T JUDGE TOO QUICKLY
275/365 Luke 10:30 Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
