Devotional for Thursday March 31, 2022
Morning Mark 15:25-39
Noon Psalm 15
Evening Eclesiastes 12:1-3
About thirty-three years had passed since the wise men arrived in Bethlehem to entertain the child King. But there was the Lord, hanging on a tree, mocked by soldiers, scribes and Pharisees. On this occasion, the evidence they had of the works of the Master was overwhelming, they had seen him heal multitudes, speak boldly of the benefits of the kingdom, and even bring Lazarus out alive four days after his death. The second person of the Trinity, hung on a tree in the company of two malefactors, reviled by men, while they continued to demand a sign to believe. May the Lord’s love be enough for us, of his mercy poured out in our lives. God willing, we don’t need the heavens to darken around us to recognize him as Lord of our hearts. May, by his grace, the veil that is the cause of our spiritual blindness be torn now, and we be in time to recognize him as Lord.

Morning Mark 15:25-39
Noon Psalm 15
1 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.
5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
Evening Eclesiastes 12:1-13

March's challenge: Do everything possible so that your life can be a visible testimony to all men as Christians living in the likeness of Christ. Everyday, praise your Creator. Keep a constant praise on your lips. Listen to Christian praise and worship music with your family. Go to Church, not only to be a spectator, but a worshiper. Worship as you pray, worship as you read the Bible, worship in your illness, always worship.
Annual Bible reading: 1 Kings 3, 4, 5
