Feb 2 – Exodus 29-30; Matthew 22:1-22 – WEEKEND EDITION

Welcome to the “But first, Bible” daily devotional podcast with Dave Miers.

Our Bible readings for today are Exodus 29-30 and Matthew 22:1-22.

It’s Saturday, and the weekend edition of this podcast is an opportunity for you to ask 4 questions about one of the passages.

  1. What do we learn about GOD?
  2. What do we learn about PEOPLE?
  3. What do we learn about God’s plan to save people through JESUS?
  4. What should be our RESPONSE?

GOD – PEOPLE – JESUS – RESPONSE.

Write them down in your journal or just think about them as you read the Bible today.

As a bonus, I’m going to conclude by praying a ‘Morning Trinitarian Prayer’ that the Late Pastor and Theologian John Stott used to pray every morning. Go to butfirstbible.com if you want a copy of the text.

Good morning heavenly Father,
good morning Lord Jesus,
good morning Holy Spirit.
Heavenly Father, I worship you as the creator and sustainer of the universe.
Lord Jesus, I worship you, Savior and Lord of the world.
Holy Spirit, I worship you, sanctifier of the people of God.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
Heavenly Father, I pray that I may live this day in your presence and please you more and more.
Lord Jesus, I pray that this day I may take up my cross and follow you.
Holy Spirit, I pray that this day you will fill me with yourself and cause your fruit to ripen in my life:
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Holy, blessed and glorious Trinity, three persons in one God,
have mercy upon me. Amen.

Until tomorrow, keep trusting Jesus.
