"Under New Management" - Meditation & Devotional
Focus Passage: Acts 10:9-16 ESV
Read the Text, Meditate on it, Pray Through It, & Contemplate the Impact
9 The next day, as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop about the sixth hour to pray. 10 And he became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance 11 and saw the heavens opened and something like a great sheet descending, being let down by its four corners upon the earth. 12 In it were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds of the air. 13 And there came a voice to him: “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.” 14 But Peter said, “By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.” 15 And the voice came to him again a second time, “What God has made clean, do not call common.” 16 This happened three times, and the thing was taken up at once to heaven.

Focus Passage: Matthew 23:25-28 ESV
Read the Text, Meditate on it, Pray Through It, & Contemplate the Impact
25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26 You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean. 27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people's bones and all uncleanness. 28 So you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

"What Should I Do With My Life?"
"What Should I Do With My Life?"
Five by the Fire Podcast - Season 3, Ep. 3
Read, Meditate, Contemplate, and Pray THrough God's Word Today!
Focus Passage
1 Corinthians 15: 55-58
55 Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?” 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Law; 57 but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.58 Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be firm, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
Today's passage begs the question: What does excelling in the work of the Lord look like for you?
I believe there are at least 4 areas we are called to lean into the work of the Lord in our lives?
1. The Work of the Lord is in You.
2. The Work of the Lord is in Your Family
3. The Work of the Lord is in Your Church
4. The Work of the Lord is in the World

Focus Passage
1 Samuel 24:3-7 ESV
3 And he came to the sheepfolds by the way, where there was a cave, and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were sitting in the innermost parts of the cave. 4 And the men of David said to him, “Here is the day of which the Lord said to you, ‘Behold, I will give your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you.’” Then David arose and stealthily cut off a corner of Saul’s robe. 5 And afterward David’s heart struck him, because he had cut off a corner of Saul’s robe. 6 He said to his men, “The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, the Lord’s anointed, to put out my hand against him, seeing he is the Lord’s anointed.” 7 So David persuaded his men with these words and did not permit them to attack Saul. And Saul rose up and left the cave and went on his way.
Today's passage begs the question: Do I need to FIGHT to get what God promised me?

Proverbs 16:1-4

even the wicked for the day of trouble.

Focus Passage: Exodus 3:1-4 ESV
”Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed. And Moses said, “I will turn aside to see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.” When the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.”
Exodus 3:1-4 ESV
Today's passage begs the question: Am I close enough to God to hear his voice?
