LOVE YOUR ENEMIES / LUKE 6:27

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 6:27

But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,

LOVE YOUR ENEMIES / LUKE 6:27

In Luke 6:27-42, Jesus tells us how we are to conduct ourselves toward others, particularly those who oppose or disagree with us. As believers, we are to accept the responsibility of the requirements He outlines here.

  1. Loving our enemies does not mean an emotional love, such as showing affection for them; this love speaks of having a genuine concern for their good and especially for their eternal spiritual salvation. Since we know the terrible consequences awaiting those who are hostile to God and His people, we must pray for them and attempt to introduce them to Christ (Proverbs 20:22; 24:29; Matthew 5:39-45; Romans 12:17; 1 Thessalonians 5:15; 1 Peter 3:9). One way we can do this is through kind and gracious actions and by repaying good for evil – love for hate.
  2. Loving our enemies does not mean to passively stand by as the wicked continue to defy God. With God’s approval and guidance, we must graciously, humbly, but boldly, take a stand against evil and ungodliness. When it is necessary for God’s honor, for the safety of others or for the highest good of the wicked, extreme action must be taken to stop evil (Mark 11:15; John 2:13-17).

WOE TO YOU WHEN ALL MEN SPEAK WELL / LUKE 6:26

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 6:26

Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

WOE TO YOU WHEN ALL MEN SPEAK WELL / LUKE 6:26

When a large portion of the unbelieving world speaks well of a believer or a professed minister of God, it may be evidence that he or she is not a true follower of Christ. False prophets are often popular with those who are not loyal to Christ. True followers of Christ will encounter opposition just as their Lord did while on earth. Their beliefs, message and lifestyle will stand in sharp contrast to the sins of ungodly people; as a result, they will be ridiculed and rejected by those who do not follow God.

WOE TO YOU WHO ARE RICH / LUKE 6:24

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 6:24

But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.

WOE TO YOU WHO ARE RICH / LUKE 6:24

Jesus is not condemning all wealthy people; He is speaking of those who center their lives, purposes, happiness or goals primarily on the pursuit of money or material things.

OCTOBER BLESSINGS

OCTOBER BLESSINGS

God gives us some wonderful things in the fall. Just look around and you will see beautiful leaves and stunning views. What gifts do we give to others? Not maybe physical or material things, but what kind of a difference are we making in people’s lives? 2 Corinthians 9: 6-11 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work” Our prayer should be “Lord, teach us how to serve one another. Help us to put the needs of others first, as you did for us. Show us ways to use our gifts to bless others.”

This time year always makes people a little more cheerful and helpful. The leaves changing colors and the weather becoming a little cooler remind us that change is good. To everything there is a time and a season.

The biblical meaning of autumn is closely associated with harvesting crops that He has blessed upon the earth. That’s where the phrase “reap what you sow” comes in. In spiritual terms, we reap the benefits of our faithful labor of prayer, humility, and love. The concept of “sowing and reaping” is immensely better than “karma.” The sowing part is not just a duty that I must perform. There is nourishment that accompanies doing the will of God and helping other people. There is a joy in finishing good works for the Lord (John 4:34) and that joy isn’t dependent on the harvest that may come later. “Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy” (Psalm 126:5). God can even bring joy out of dire, even tragic, events. God’s love is so much greater than karma.

Reaping and sowing is all about blessings and consequences. I seek to live in obedience more and more by sowing good things and then I reap other good things, but not necessarily in the same field. I often sow in one field and reap in another. Always remember that whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously (2 Corinthians 9:6). So, go ahead and sow generously and even lavishly. There is always some kind of reward. Some rewards are instantaneous and easy to spot. Others take a little more introspection to see but they are there all the same. Let us give thanks to the Lord for the gift of October. May it be a month filled with Your presence, Your peace, and Your promises fulfilled. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
