DAY 4: How do the principles of submission and love in Ephesians 5:21–33 work in a marriage?
https://telegra.ph/DAILY-BIBLE-10-04

Precious, precious Blood of Jesus, shed on Calvary, shed for rebels, shed for sinners, shed for me.

Reinhardt Bonkke

To be committed to Christ is to be in conflict with the world. Jesus said so.

Where sin abounded, grace abounded much more.

Romans 5:20

Even the winds and the waves obey Him.

Matthew 8:27

Focus needs to shift from the world and the storms, to Christ, if you want assurance, and peace.

None but Jesus! None but Jesus! Our soul rests in none but Jesus; and we hate and loathe, with our inmost nature, the very idea of adding anything to what He has finished, or attempting to complete what is perfect in Him.

- Charles Spurgeon

WEEK 1 — Dormancy & Trust (Oct 1–4)

4. October 4 (Sunday)

Dear Daughter,

Even the ground under snow is not idle — it is insulated, protected, gathering strength no eye can see.
Worship today trusting that what looks frozen in your marriage may actually be protected, not abandoned.

God works under the surface as much as on it.
'He gives snow like wool… who can stand before His cold?' (Ps 147:16-17).

What in your marriage looks frozen but might actually be protected?

If God is for us, who can be against us?

Romans 8:31

God is not just with us, He is for us.

The new birth makes all things new, a new heart, new mindset, new affections, new priorities, new destiny.

“I the Lord speak the truth;
I declare what is right.” Isaiah 45:19

Do you want to live in reality?

Listen to God.

Ransack the Bible. No stone unturned.

The first voice we hear after the fall is the voice of grace, God coming to man: "Adam, where are you?"

When we share the gospel with unsaved people, we understand intellectually that we are telling them how to find everlasting life. But the Bible wants us to fully realize what is happening. Look at the words used in Scripture: “Let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins” (James 5:20).

Lord, help us enjoy the gift without worshiping the gift.

Help us cherish the blessing without losing sight of the Blesser.

Let every good gift lead our hearts back to the One from whom every good and perfect gift comes. (James 1:17)

October 5: Words and Actions

#Devotional

Ezekiel 12:1–13:23; Revelation 3:14–4:11; Job 33:19–28

Leading by example is a simple principle to understand, but it’s a very difficult one to live. The prophets were often called to lead by example, though doing so usually meant enduring suffering for others.

“And the word of Yahweh came to me [Ezekiel], saying, ‘Son of man, you are dwelling in the midst of the house of rebellion who has eyes to see and they do not see; they have ears to hear, and they do not hear, for they are a house of rebellion. And you, son of man, prepare for yourself the baggage of an exile, and go into exile by day before their eyes. And you must go into exile from your place to another place before their eyes; perhaps they will see that they are a house of rebellion’ ” (Ezek 12:1–3).

By witnessing God’s servant suffering, the people would be reminded of their rebellion and understand the gravity of God’s displeasure. In this situation, God prescribes exile as their punishment for rebelling against His requirements and forfeiting His calling for their lives. God’s prophet, Ezekiel, “pronounces” God’s punishment through actions. In doing so, he becomes a type of sufferer for the people. He does not deserve their punishment, and he does not pay it for them, but he demonstrates the price of sin as he leads by example.

There is a time for words and a time for action. We all would do well to heed the words before the actions become necessary. We must also understand that, in our desire to emulate Christ, there are times we must go beyond warnings or advice and commit to bearing the burden for others—even suffering undeservedly on their behalf. We must show others what it means to follow Christ by acting as Christ would—giving unmerited grace even when it is costly.

What actions must you take today? In what areas must you move words to deeds? Who can you sacrifice for today?

October 5 - True Worship

#LifeOfChrist

The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.” Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers.” John 4:19–23

Having been convicted of her sin and need for forgiveness, and having repented and agreed with Jesus’ indictment, the Samaritan woman wondered where she should go to meet God and seek His grace and salvation.

Jesus explains that under the new covenant, the place of worship is not the issue, but rather the nature of worship. “An hour is coming,” Jesus informed the woman, “and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. “Spirit” does not refer to the Holy Spirit but the human spirit. Worship must be internal, not external—it must be from the heart. “Truth” calls for this heart worship to be consistent with what Scripture teaches and to be centered on Christ.

True worshipers are those who “worship the Father in spirit and truth.” It is “such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers” by sovereignly drawing them to Himself (6:44, 45). God has called you to worship Him. Make sure your worship is genuine.

Ask Yourself

What is so empty and uninspiring about worship that fails to engage the heart, worship that is mouthed and measured rather than done like you mean it? Then why do we resort to it so often? Why are we duped into believing that the object of our distraction is more worthy than the rightful recipient of our praise? 

DAY 5: Why does Paul insist in Ephesians 6:10–17 that Christians must be prepared for spiritual battle?
