SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY – [Tuesday]
Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. (Psalm 67:6) [Authorized King James Bible: AV]
All will have an abundance, “There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.” (Psalm 72:16) [Authorized King James Bible: AV]. Jesus (Yeshua) Christ power to accomplish this mission was demonstrated when, “And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. 16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. 17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. 18 He said, Bring them hither to me. 19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. 21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.” And “Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. 33 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? 34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes. 35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. 36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full. 38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.” (Matthew 14:15-21 and 15:32-38) [AV}.

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY – [Wednesday]
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness,––For this cause, hath God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of exultation, beyond thy partners; (Hebrews 1:9) [Rotherham Bible, RB]
Jesus (Yeshua) Christ will bring an end to corruption and opposition when his rule takes effect over the earth. As a truly just ruler, Jesus (Yeshua) Christ “For he will deliver the needy when he crieth, And the poor, that hath no helper. 13 He will have pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he will save. 14 He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence; And precious will their blood be in his sight:” (Psalm 72:12-14) [American Standard Version; ASV].

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY – [Thursday]
The undeserved kindness of the Lord Jesus Christ [be] with the spirit YOU [show] (Philippians 4:23) [New World Translation; NWT]
The first century Christians in Philippi were materially poor. However, they were generous and showed exemplary love for their fellow believers. (Phil. 1:3-5, 9; 4:15-16) In closing his inspired letters to them, the apostle Paul could therefore write what he did at Philippians 4:23. Because a similar spirit was shown by the Christians in Thyatira, the glorified Jesus (Yeshua) Christ told them: “I know thy works, and thy love, and faith, and ministry, and endurance,––and that, thy last works, are more than the first.” (Rev. 2:19) [Rotherham Bible, RB].

Re: Scripture of the Day
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY – [Friday]
Walk with wise men, and thou shalt be wise; But the companion of fools shall smart for it. (Proverbs 13:20) [American Standard Version; ASV]
We must guard against developing a spirit of murmuring. While cultivating humility and respect for authority will help us, we need to be concerned about those with whom we associate. A poor choice of entertainment or spending too much time with workmates or school associates who have no regard for righteous principles takes its toll. We are wise to limit our association with people who are negative or who are promoting an independent attitude.
The corruptive influence of murmuring can lead to other spiritually damaging developments. For example, murmuring can disrupt a congregation’s peace and unity and destroy friendships. Moreover, voicing complaints against fellow believers may not only cause them pain but may also deteriorate into the sins of slander and reviling. (Lev. 19:16; 1 Cor. 5:11)

Re: Scripture of the Day
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY – [Saturday]
‘Being, therefore, offspring of God, we ought not to think the Godhead to be like to gold, or silver, or stone, graving of art and device of man; Acts 17:29 (Youngs Literal Translation; YLT).
Indeed, if Humans are a product of Almighty God (YHWH), then how could Almighty God (YHWH) take the form of idols, which are a product of men? Paul’s tactful reasoning exposed the folly of worshipping man-made idols (Psalms 115:4-8; Isaiah 44:9-20). By saying, “we ought not to think,” Paul no doubt removed some of th sting from his rebuke of the idol worshipping Athenian, Greeks.
The apostle made it clear that action was needed: “the times, indeed, therefore, of the ignorance God having overlooked, doth now command all men everywhere to reform,” Acts 17:30 (YLT). Some of Paul’s listeners might have been shocked to hear this call for repentance, but his powerful speech plainly showed that they owed their life to Almighty God (YHWH) and were thus accountable to Him. The needed to seek Almighty God (YHWH), learn the truth about him, and bring their whole way of life into harmony with that truth. For the Athenians, that meant recognizing and turning away from the sin of idolatry.

Re: Scripture of the Day
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY – [Sunday]
Wherefore it behooved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. Hebrews 2:17, [American Standard Version; ASV]
Were it not for the inspired writings of the apostle Paul, it would be hard for us to understand the significance of the many aspects of the Mosaic Law. In his letter to the Hebrews, for example, he clarifies how Jesus as a “faithful high priest” could once and for all times offer a “propitiatory sacrifice” making it possible for those exercising faith in it to obtain “an everlasting deliverance.” Per Heb. 9:11-12, “But Christ having come a high priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation, 12 nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption.” [ASV]. Paul explained that the tabernacle was simply “a shadow of the heavenly things” and that Jesus (Yeshua) became the Mediator of “a better covenant” than that mediated by Moses per Heb. 7:22 and 8:1-5, “by so much also hath Jesus become the surety of a better covenant.” And “Now in the things which we are saying the chief point is this: We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, 2 a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man. 3 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that this high priest also have somewhat to offer. 4 Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are those who offer the gifts according to the law; 5 who serve that which is a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses is warned of God when he is about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern that was showed thee in the mount.” [ASV] . In Paul’s day, such explanations of the Law were invaluable to the genuine true followers of Jesus (Yeshua), and they still are. They help us to grasp more fully the value of the provisions that Almighty God (YHWH) has made for us.

Re: Scripture of the Day
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY – [Monday] And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony unto all the nations; and then shall the end come. (Matthew 24:14)[American Standard Version; ASV]. Note, it did NOT say anything about all listening which is clearly shown not to be the case; one needs to consider several scriptures in the new testament showing the Truth with respect what God (YHWH) has to say through inspired writers and then reflect back to how this would apply to a great percentage of the world’s population. First let's consider both Luke 13:24 and Matthew 7:13-14, it is in both of these that the road followed by true believers would be narrow and cramped, Luke 13:24, "Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able." (Authorized King James Bible: AV); And Matthew 7:13-14, "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, abroad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." (AV); thereby, clearly showing few would be entering the narrow gate "which leadeth unto life." In reality, it will be difficult for even true Christians to enter as testified to at 1 Peter 4:18, "And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear." (AV). In order to enter, we must have the right sort of guide, Luke 1:79, "To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace." (AV). Now, if one picks the wrong group, just because it is popular or the so called 'one to belong to in a community' and not because of Bible Truths, there is an important warning given at Matthew 15:14, "Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch." (AV). In fact, being with the wrong group can mean you are NOT having fellowship with the Son of God, Jesus (Yeshua) as testified to at 1 John 1:6, "If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not [have] the truth." (AV). This danger is made abundantly clear at Luke 12:32 when Jesus (Yeshua) spoke of his true followers as a little flock and not a large one, "Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." (AV). Simply stated, his true followers will be relatively few in number which should cause all sincere individuals to question what they believe and to test it.

Re: Scripture of the Day
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY – [Tuesday]
The spirit of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah is upon me, for the reason that Jehovah has anointed me to tell good news to the meek ones. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to those taken captive and the wide opening [of the eyes] even to the prisoners; to proclaim the year of goodwill on the part of Jehovah and the day of vengeance on the part of our God; to comfort all the mourning ones; (Isaiah 61:1-2, [New World Translation: NWT])
Jesus (Yeshua) Christ said, “Jesus saith unto them––My food, is, that I should do the will of him that sent me, and complete, his work.” (John 4:34, [Rotherham Bible, RB] ). In carrying out his God given assisgnment, Jesus (Yeshua) reflected his Father’s magnificent qualities. Among these is Almighty God (YHWH) great love for people as noted at, “Beloved! let us be loving one another; because, love, is, of God, and, whosoever loveth, of God, hath been born, and is getting to understand God: 8 He that doth not love, doth not understand God, because, God, is, love. 9 Herein, hath the love of God in us, been made manifest, that, his only–begotten Son, God sent into the world, in order that we might live through him. 10 Herein, is love: not that, we, have loved God, but that, he, loved us, and sent forth his Son, as a propitiation concerning our sins.” [RB] . The apostle Paul noted one manifestation of that love when he described Almighty God (YHWH) as “the God of all comfort.” (2 Cor. 1:3). Jesus (Yeshua) demonstrated such love when he did what was foretold in Isaiah’s prophecy, at Isaiah 61:1-2. He read from that prophecy in the synagogue at Nazareth and applied its words to himself. (Luke 4:16-21) During his entire ministry, Jesus (Yeshua) lovingly comforted mourning ones, bringing them encouragement and peace of mind.

And Peter opened his mouth and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 35 but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him. Acts 10:34-35 [American Standard Version; ASV]
Jesus (Yeshua) Christ is no respecter of race or nationality, but accepts all people earnestly following him as clearly shown by James 2:1-4, “My brethren, hold not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. 2 For if there come into your synagogue a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, and there come in also a poor man in vile clothing; 3 and ye have regard to him that weareth the fine clothing, and say, Sit thou here in a good place; and ye say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or sit under my footstool; 4 do ye not make distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?” Clearly showing that we should not draw a distinction between rich or poor or between nationalities and/or races.

Re: Scripture of the Day
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY – [Thursday]
For as regards Christ Jesus neither circumcision is of any value nor is uncircumcision, but faith operating through love is. Galatians 5:6.
Yes, “you were, of course called, called for freedom, brothers, only do not use this freedom as an inducement for the flesh, but through love slave for one another. For the entire law stands fulfilled on one saying, namely , “You must love your neighbor as yourself.” (Gal. 5:13-14). Here, the Apostle Paul was bringing out how no one was now under the old law covenant, but all were under the new commandment and were required to love their neighbor. He went on to say, “On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, mildness, self-control. Against such things there is no low.” (Gal. 5:22-23).
