Job 1-3, Psalm 31
Job 1:10-11 (NLT)
“You have always put a wall of protection around him and his home and his property. You have made him prosper in everything he does. Look how rich he is! But reach out and take away everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face!”
In Job 1:10-11, Satan tells the Lord that that the reason Job was a good man was because Father-God protected Job and his home and property. The Lord also blessed Job with prosperity in everything he did, so he was very rich. But Satan said if Job had everything taken away from him, Job would curse the Lord to his face for his suffering.
Many scholars consider the Book of Job to be oldest book in the Old Testament, so it can be said this story is the earliest written account of a human being’s relationship with the Lord. These verses tell believers that from the beginning Father-God protected and cared for His people. Job enjoyed the blessings of the Lord with his wealth, his possessions, and his children.
I love these verses because they show the caring and eternal nature of the Lord. Father-God has always cared for His children. The Lord protected and blessed Job before the testing began, reminding me that His nature and character are unchanging. Because He cared for Job then, I can trust that He continues to protect and bless His people today.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who has always protected and loved His children—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer. Tell Him you trust Him and desire to walk with Him. He is faithful, and He will meet you exactly where 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. 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 185 Bible Readings for July 6 - Proverbs 30:5-6 (NLT)
Proverbs 28-31, Psalm 30
Proverbs 30:5-6 (NLT)
“Every word of God proves true. He is a shield to all who come to him for protection. Do not add to his words, or he may rebuke you and expose you as a liar.”
In Proverbs 30:5-6, Solomon reminds believers of the purity and truth of the Lord’s words. Father-God’s words are complete and perfect. Adding to His words can lead to false teaching and a distortion of the truth. Believers can see the fulfillment of the Lord’s promises throughout the Bible and in their own lives.
When I became born again, I made a commitment to rely on the Lord’s Word as the ultimate authority in my life. I have also come to trust His Word as my shield, placing my confidence in Him rather than in my own wisdom or strength.
The Bible teaches that the Lord is actively involved in guiding and correcting His people, and I have seen evidence of that in my own life. The guidance of the Holy Spirit has repeatedly made my path easier, brought me peace, and helped me navigate life's challenges with greater confidence. Father-God’s Word is trustworthy, and I have learned to rely on it.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One whose words protect and guide us through life—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer. Tell Him you trust Him and desire to walk with Him. He is faithful, and He will meet you exactly where 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.

Day 184 Bible Readings for July 5 - Proverbs 27:1-2 (NLT)
Proverbs 25-27, Psalm 29
Proverbs 27:1-2 (NLT)
“Don’t brag about tomorrow, since you don’t know what the day will bring. Let someone else praise you, not your own mouth—a stranger, not your own lips.”
In Proverbs 27:1-2, Solomon tells believers that it is arrogant to make assumptions about the future because our human understanding is limited and life is unpredictable. Self-praise leads to the sin of pride. Instead, it is better to let others speak well of us. We can follow the example of Jesus Christ, who lived a life of humility and servanthood.
During His earthly ministry, Jesus often spoke about the uncertainty of life, such as in the parable of the rich fool (Luke 12:16-21). Christ also taught believers to live righteously and be ready for the Lord’s return in the parable of the ten virgins (Matthew 25:1-13).
Jesus also taught the importance of humility and servanthood in Matthew 23:12. Finally, Christ directed glory away from Himself and toward Father-God, as seen in John 8:50: "And though I have no wish to glorify myself, God is going to glorify me. He is the true judge."
These verses remind me that I should look to Jesus Christ as the example for how to live my life. Christ never boasted about His ministry or presumed upon the future. Instead, He lived in complete dependence on Father-God.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One whose teachings and life are examples for us to follow—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer. Tell Him you trust Him and desire to walk with Him. He is faithful, and He will meet you exactly where you are.

Day 183 Bible Readings for July 4 - Proverbs 23:4-5 (NLT)
Proverbs 22-24, Psalm 28
Proverbs 23:4-5 (NLT)
“Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich. Be wise enough to know when to quit. In the blink of an eye wealth disappears, for it will sprout wings and fly away like an eagle.”
In Proverbs 23:4-5, Solomon warns believers not to make an idol of wealth or wear themselves out trying to get rich because it leads to exhaustion. Believers should find contentment in the Lord’s provision and maintain a healthy balance between work and rest. Solomon also reminds us that material wealth is temporary and unreliable, often giving us a false sense of security. True contentment can only come through a relationship with Father-God.
When I read these verses, I realized that the pursuit of any worldly treasure can become exhausting. When I attended my church conference, I pursued getting the best seat and often stood in line two hours before the doors opened. It was fun at first and made me feel like I was pursuing something worthwhile. But after a few days, I began to question why I was so determined to get a good seat.
Did I think sitting closer to the front would make that much of a difference? Standing in line became a competitive experience and often put me in a sour mood before the session even started. I wore myself out trying to gain "the wealth of a good seat," but that wealth was temporary. Was sitting closer really bringing me closer to the Lord? I came to realize that it didn't matter where I sat, as long as I was ready to receive the teaching and was content wherever I was seated.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who gives you true contentment in life—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer. Tell Him you trust Him and desire to walk with Him. He is faithful, and He will meet you exactly where you are.
