This safety is freedom from that snare.

Christian, do not grow weary in doing good. Your quiet obedience when nobody is watching brings glory to God. Keep praying, keep serving, and keep pointing others to the cross. He sees your labor and he will reward your faithfulness.
β€5
βPrayer is the open admission that without Christ we can do nothing. And prayer is the turning away from ourselves to God in the confidence that He will provide the help we need. Prayer humbles us as needy and exalts God as all-sufficient.β βJohn Piper

October 24: Constantly in Prayer
#Devotional
Ezekiel 47:1β48:35; 1 Thessalonians 1:1β10; Job 39:24β40:2
Desperate circumstances often dictate our prayers. We pray for others when theyβre in need, or we thank God for others when they fill our needs. But how often do we thank God for the faith of those around us?
When Paul writes to the believers in Thessalonica, he opens by saying, βWe give thanks to God always concerning all of you, making mention constantly in our prayersβ (1 Thess 1:2). Paul and his disciples thank God for their βwork of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Fatherβ (1 Thess 1:3).
Those who appear to be moving along well by our standards may be struggling in their faith. Other believers, just like us, go through ebbs and flows in their journey. It shouldnβt take a catastrophe for us to recognize their need for prayer.
We can learn something from Paul, a church planter and disciple maker who was no doubt keenly aware of the growth and struggles of the believers he mentored. For those of us who are less observant, these struggles may simmer underneath our radar. We should stop and take notice of the faith journeys of the people around usβpeople in our churches, our schools, and our workplaces. For whom can you thank God today?
Who needs your observant prayers today?

October 24 - John the Baptistβs Testimony to Jesusβ Deity
#LifeOfChrist
ββYou have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth. But the testimony which I receive is not from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. He was the lamp that was burning and was shining and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his lightββ (John 5:33β35).
The purpose of John the Baptistβs ministry was to prepare the nation for the Messiah (1:23), and to point Him out when He came (1:31).
Johnβs testimony supported Jesusβ claims to be the Messiah. Since he was generally regarded as a prophet (Matt. 21:26; Luke 20:6)βthe first one in four centuriesβhis testimony carried considerable weight.
Jesus, of course, did not depend on human testimony to establish His claim to deity. He cited the testimony of John the Baptist to confirm by the mouth of one already recognized as Godβs true prophet that same truth concerning Himself. He did so for the sake of His hearersβthat they might be saved on account of Johnβs faithful witness.
Having mentioned Johnβs testimony to Him, Jesus in turn gave both a tribute to the Baptist and a rebuke to the Jewish leaders for rejecting his witness. John was βthe lamp that was burning and was shining.β His βburningβ inner zeal made him a βshiningβ light in the dark world. Unlike Jesus, who is the Light of the world (8:12), John was a lampβhe was a reflector of the Light. Just as a lamp lights the way for people, so John lit the way to Jesus (1:31).
Ask Yourself
We are never just standing still. Weβre either increasing our resemblance to Christβs character, or weβre looking more like ourselvesβmore controlled by our own desires and appetites. What traits would make you a better reflection of the presence of Christ in your life?

The righteous are not those who have no sin, they are believers against whom the Lord will not count their sin.
How do Christians glorify God in our jobs?
1. Be thankful for your job.
2. Recognize your work is to the Lord.
3. Strive to maintain a good reputation.
4. Show genuine care for your co-workers.
5. Do not be evangelistically obnoxious.
6. Work excellently for God's glory.

Dear Daughter,
Two branches grafted back onto the same vine grow stronger at the graft point than they were before the break.
Celebrate any place in your marriage that broke and has since been grafted back β often it's the strongest part now.
Repair can outlast the original.
'You⦠were grafted in among the others' (Rom 11:17).
What graft point in your marriage is stronger now than it was before the break?

Oct 24 (Sat) β RIDDLE-ORACLE
"The Two Builders and the Sound the Rain Made"
One man builds his house on rock, another on sand β and from the outside, in the sunshine, the two houses looked identical (Matt 7:24-27). No one could tell the difference by admiring the walls. The difference was hidden entirely in the foundation, invisible until the rain came, the floods rose, and the winds beat against both houses with equal force. The storm did not create the weakness β it only REVEALED what had always been there. π§οΈποΈ
Here is the riddle folded into the parable: Christ does not say the wise man avoided the storm. Both men faced the SAME rain, the SAME flood, the SAME wind (v.25, 27 β nearly word for word identical). The only variable was what lay beneath the surface, decided long before the clouds ever gathered. Your marriage will not be spared a storm because you are faithful β but a faithful foundation is the only thing that determines whether the storm ends in scars or in ruins. πͺ¨
And notice what the rock actually IS β not merely believing Christ's words, but DOING them (v.24). Hearing without practicing is sand disguised as stone; it feels solid until the water starts moving underneath it. Every ordinary act of obedience in your marriage β the patience nobody applauds, the forgiveness nobody sees β is a stone being laid now, long before you know which storm it's for. π₯
β What is your marriage's foundation actually made of β hearing the Word, or doing it, day by unglamorous day?
β If the rain came tonight, what would it reveal that the sunshine has been hiding?
Let us search the Word together and check the foundation before the clouds gather.
