Welcome to the “But first, Bible” daily devotional podcast with Dave Miers.
It’s the weekend, yes!
Now, the weekend can be a good time to catch up on readings you’ve missed throughout the week… or not! I think many Christians begin the year with a Bible reading plan, but then end up giving up the plan because they fall too far behind. By all means, catch up a day here or there. But sometimes you just need to write-off a whole week or month if you’ve fallen so far behind.
Today’s readings are from Genesis 44-45 and Matthew 14:1-21. In Genesis the drama continues to unfold between Joseph and his brothers. The section in Matthew includes the gruesome death of John the Baptist.
As you read today, there are 4 questions worth asking of one of the passages in your journal or just in your head.
Under the headings: GOD, PEOPLE, JESUS, RESPONSE.
- 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.
You can ask these questions of any passage in the bible.
Thanks for following along with “But first, Bible.”
Until tomorrow, keep trusting Jesus.
