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.
- What do we learn about GOD?
- What do we learn about PEOPLE?
- What do we learn about God’s plan to save people through JESUS?
- 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.
