Day 303 Bible Readings – Proverbs 11:1-2 (ESV)

Lamentations 3:40-66, Lamentations 4-5, Hebrews 1, Proverbs 11:1-8

Proverbs 11:1-2 (ESV)

“A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is his delight. When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.”

In Proverbs 11:1-2, Solomon writes that believers in God the Father should strive for honesty and integrity in both life and business. Being deceitful is fundamentally opposed to Father-God’s nature, which values truth and justice. The Lord takes pleasure in those who act justly and uphold the truth.

When you are prideful, you rely on yourself instead of God. You exalt yourself and place yourself above Him. But with pride comes disgrace, and the Bible is full of stories that show the consequences of pride. In contrast, humility opens you to dependence on Father-God and makes you receptive to correction and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Pride separates you from the Lord, while humility leads to a deeper relationship with Him.

When I read these verses, I thought of times in my life when I felt cheated by someone and how upset it made me. I can imagine how the Lord feels when He sees His children being cheated or deceiving others. I can also see how people are rewarded in life when they reflect the Lord’s values of truth and justice. I also remembered times when I was full of pride, relying on myself and not open to correction from anyone. Nothing good ever comes from being prideful. But when I am humble and willing to listen to the Holy Spirit’s guidance, I feel my relationship with the Lord deepening, and I can avoid the pitfalls in life.

If these verses stir something within your heart—if you feel moved to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who values truth, justice, and humility—this could be your moment. Open your heart to Him, speak to Him in the following prayer, and tell Him that you trust Him. Express your desire to walk with Him and welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and stands ready to meet you wherever you are.

Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.

If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit-filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.

Day 302 Bible Readings – Lamentations 3:21-23 (ESV)

Lamentations 2, Lamentations 3:1-39, Philemon 1, Proverbs 10:31-32

Lamentations 3:21-23 (ESV)

“But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

In Lamentations 3:21-23, after lamenting over the destruction of Jerusalem, the Old Testament prophet Jeremiah remembered Father-God’s past faithfulness to His people.  Jeremiah’s memories gave him hope and the faith to persevere in his grief. He recalled the faithfulness of the Lord and His unending mercy, recognizing that God the Father renews His mercy and compassion daily because He is constant and unchanging.

Jeremiah reminds us to remember Father-God’s past faithfulness in our lives when we need to renew our hope in Him. Even in times of sorrow and pain, we need to recollect the Lord’s promises to His people. God the Father renews His mercy and compassion every morning, offering us a new start each day. We must remember the constancy and faithfulness of God the Father and renew our hope and trust in Him.

We can read the Bible, which emphasizes the Lord’s commitment to His people despite their unfaithfulness and His unfailing mercy. We can reflect on our own faith journey with the Lord and meditate on our deep and loving relationship with Him. God the Father is always constant and faithful to his children, even during our darkest times.

If these verses stir something within your heart—if you feel moved to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who is constant and faithful in the darkest of times—this could be your moment. Open your heart to Him, speak to Him in the following prayer, and tell Him that you trust Him. Express your desire to walk with Him and welcome His presence into your life. Father-God is faithful, and He stands ready to meet you wherever you are.

Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Day 301 Bible Readings – Titus 3:3-7 (ESV)

Lamentations 1, Titus 3, Proverbs 10:21-30

Titus 3:3-7 (ESV)

“For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”

In Titus 3:3-7, the apostle Paul writes to Titus and the believers in Crete about what it means to follow Jesus and live as a Christian. He urges them to look back and remember who they were before they knew Christ—reminding them that everyone has a past, but God offers a fresh start. Paul makes it clear that this new life isn’t something we earn by being good or doing good deeds; rather, it’s a gift from God, given out of His kindness and mercy.

When Paul talks about being “born again,” he’s describing a spiritual change—like starting a new chapter in life with God’s help. It’s not just about trying to be better; it’s about letting Father-God transform you from the inside out. “Salvation as a gift” means that God the Father offers forgiveness, acceptance, and hope freely, because He loves us—not because we’ve done enough to deserve it. And when Paul says believers are “heirs to God,” he’s saying that, through faith in Jesus, we become part of Father-God’s family and receive the promise of eternal life with Him.

Reflecting on this passage, I am reminded of the importance of gratitude for my salvation. Through the grace of Jesus Christ, I have been made into a new person, no longer defined by my past. When I notice myself reverting to old patterns or behaviors from before I was saved, I remember the moment I became born again—a true transformation that changed my heart and direction in life.

In times of weakness, I know I can turn to the Holy Spirit for guidance and help. Sometimes, I find myself needing to seek the Holy Spirit’s assistance constantly—even every minute. This reliance isn’t a sign of failure, but a recognition of my ongoing need for Father-God’s strength and wisdom. I understand the importance of regularly examining myself each day. It’s vital to ensure that my actions reflect God the Father’s will for my life and that I continue to walk in alignment with His purposes. I am confident that my faith makes me an heir of Father-God. My inheritance is the promise of eternal life with the Lord—a hope that anchors my soul and motivates me to continue growing in my relationship with Him.

If these verses stir something within your heart—if you feel moved to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who will give you the hope of eternal life with God the Father—this could be your moment. Open your heart to Him, speak to Him in the following prayer, and tell Him that you trust Him. Express your desire to walk with Him and welcome His presence into your life. Father-God is faithful, and He stands ready to meet you wherever you are.

Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Day 300 Bible Readings – Habakkuk 2:6-8 (ESV)

Habakkuk 1-2, Habakkuk 3:1-19, Titus 2, Proverbs 10:11-20

Habakkuk 2:6-8 (ESV)

“Shall not all these take up their taunt against him, with scoffing and riddles for him, and say, “Woe to him who heaps up what is not his own—for how long?—and loads himself with pledges!” Will not your debtors suddenly arise, and those awake who will make you tremble? Then you will be spoil for them. Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder you, for the blood of man and violence to the earth, to cities and all who dwell in them.”

In Habakkuk 2:6-8, the Old Testament prophet Habakkuk reveals Father-God’s plan of justice for the Babylonians. The Babylonians had accumulated wealth through plundering others, but the Lord declared that a time would come when they themselves would be plundered. This passage emphasizes that true wealth is found in following the Lord’s laws of fairness and justice, rather than through exploitation or violence. Father-God assures Habakkuk that justice will be served for those who commit acts of violence and oppression. God the Father makes it clear that those who are oppressed will eventually rise against their oppressors because He holds everyone accountable for their actions. The principle at work here is that no wrongdoing goes unnoticed by the Lord, and all people will ultimately face the consequences of their actions.

These verses serve as a reminder that stealing from others or exploiting them inevitably leads to facing justice and experiencing the consequences of such actions. When someone exploits others, those same people may eventually seek to exploit the wrongdoer in return. The Lord sees everything and will hold everyone accountable, ensuring that justice is served according to His perfect wisdom.

Justice will come from Father-God, and everyone will reap what they sow. Those who sow injustice will eventually experience injustice themselves as part of God the Father’s justice. Although it can be difficult to witness acts of injustice seemingly going unpunished, we must trust that Father-God will address every wrong in His perfect timing, because He is sovereign over all things.

If these verses stir something within your heart—if you feel moved to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who sees all and brings justice in every situation—this could be your moment. Open your heart to Him, speak to Him in prayer, and tell Him that you trust Him. Express your desire to walk with Him and welcome His presence into your life. Father-God is faithful, and He stands ready to meet you wherever you are.

Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
