Daily D – Galatians 3:26-28

Galatians 3:26-28 For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. (NLT)

Popular television shows and movies like to talk about God and spiritual matters in vague generalities. Depictions of spiritual matters are either dumbed down to the point that anything goes, or religious people are portrayed as overzealous caricatures bent on legalistic righteousness. This is in sharp contrast to biblical faith.

Children of God are those who have a real and loving relationship with Jesus. He is the one and only way. (See John 14:6.)

When people choose to receive his gift of forgiveness for their sins and the promise of eternal life, they put on a new way of living shaped by grace. We become like Jesus. He lives in us and through us. A good question we seek to answer is What Would Jesus Do?

A better question is What would Jesus do if he were me? What if he lived where I live and had my family, my job, and my recreation? How would Jesus navigate the relationships and family matters that I deal with day by day? How would he do my job? How would he conduct himself in leisure activities? What would his vocabulary include and exclude?

What makes Jesus laugh? What grieves his heart?

These are good questions worth considering. The answers go a long way toward teaching us how to live with ourselves and others. They direct, and redirect, the choices we make and the habits of mind and behavior we cultivate.

I will pursue a deeper understanding of what it means to be a child of God.

Our Father, deliver us from the vague generalities and crass caricatures of media religion. Empower us instead with true faith that makes us more like Jesus. Build grace and kindness into our lives. Use us to build up others. Deliver us from belligerence. Amen.

Daily D – Leviticus 8:23-26

Leviticus 8:23-26 The LORD said to Moses, “This applies to the Levites: Men twenty-five years old or more shall come to take part in the work at the tent of meeting, but at the age of fifty, they must retire from their regular service and work no longer. They may assist their brothers in performing their duties at the tent of meeting, but they themselves must not do the work. This, then, is how you are to assign the responsibilities of the Levites.”

Daily D – Psalm 40:1-3

Psalm 40:1-3

“I waited patiently for the LORD;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the LORD
and put their trust in him.”

Daily D – Leviticus 26:3-13

Leviticus 26:3-13 “‘If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands, I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees their fruit. Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want and live in safety in your land.

“ ‘I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid. I will remove wild beasts from the land, and the sword will not pass through your country. You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you. Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.

“ ‘I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers, and I will keep my covenant with you. You will still be eating last year’s harvest when you will have to move it out to make room for the new. I will put my dwelling place among you, and I will not abhor you. I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians; I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk with heads held high.”

Leviticus 25:17 “Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God. I am the Lord your God.”

Daily D – Psalm 37:5-6

your vindication like the noonday sun.”
