SEARCH CAREFULLY UNTIL SHE FINDS / LUKE 15:8

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 15:8

 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?

SEARCH CAREFULLY UNTIL SHE FINDS / LUKE 15:8

We should pray that the Holy Spirit will fill us with a deep desire to reach out to people with the message and compassion of Jesus so we can help them find spiritual salvation through a personal relationship with Him.

REJOICING IN HEAVEN / LUKE 15:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 15:7

I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

REJOICING IN HEAVEN / LUKE 15:7

God and the angels in heaven have such love, compassion and grief for those who are still slaves to sin and bound for spiritual death that they notice and openly rejoice when even one person admits their helpless condition, accepts Christ’s forgiveness, turns from their own way and begins to follow Him. Regarding God’s love for sinners, see Isaiah 62:5; Jeremiah 32:41; Ezekiel 18:23, 32; Hosea 11:8; John 3:16; Romans 5:6-11; 2 Peter 3:9. When Jesus refers to “righteous persons who do not need to repent,” He is probably using irony or slight sarcasm to refer to those (like the Pharisees and teachers of the law) who felt no need to repent.

THE LOST SHEEP / LUKE 15:4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 15:4

What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

THE LOST SHEEP / LUKE 15:4

The key verse in Luke’s Gospel states that “the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost” (Luke 19:10). The three parables (brief symbolic stories that teach a lesson or make a point) in Luke 15 are presented to teach us the purpose of Jesus’ earthly mission: God’s desire to save people spiritually so they can have an eternal relationship with Him. Jesus teaches that

  1. Pursuing those who are spiritually lost – who do not yet know Him personally – so that they can experience His forgiveness and a restored relationship with Him is a top priority of God (Luke 15:4, 8, 20, 24).
  2. God and all of heaven rejoice when even one sinner turns from his or her own way and accepts Christ’s forgiveness and new life (Luke 15:7, 10).
  3. No amount of sacrifice or suffering is too great in helping to bring spiritually lost people to Jesus (Luke 15:4, 8). The fact that these are top priorities of all those who already know and follow Christ.

HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM / PSALMS 25:12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Psalms 25:12

 What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM / PSALMS 25:12

The main theme of this psalm is how God in His wisdom guides His faithful followers. Note the following truths:

  1. God has a plan for every individual. He had a plan for Adam (Genesis 1:28; Genesis 2:18-25), Abraham (Genesis 12:1-2; Genesis 12:3), Joseph (Genesis 45:4-9) and His people, Israel (Genesis 50:24; Exodus 6:6-8); He had a plan for Jesus (Luke 18:31) and Paul (Acts 21:10-14; 22:14-15; 26:16-19; 21:14). God has a definite plan for each person (1 Corinthians 12; Ephesians 1:10; Ephesians 2:10; Ephesians 3:11; Ephesians 4:11-12; Ephesians 4:13).
  2. God’s plans can be communicated to us by unique means, such as dreams, visions and prophecy (Acts 2:17; 9:12; 10:3; 13:2; 1 Corinthians 14:1; Acts 21:10). However, the usual way He guides us and gives us wisdom is through His Word (2 Timothy 3:16) and through the Holy Spirit living within us (Acts 8:29; 10:19: 13:2; 15:28; 16:6; 1 John 2:20; 1 John 2:27).
  3. We can miss God’s plan if we ignore, reject or misuse His Word. Doing any of these things leads us to decisions that go against God’s plans and desires for us.  
  4. Righteousness (doing what God says is right, doing it for the right reasons and staying in a right relationship with God) is most important if we are seeking God’s guidance (Psalms 25:21; Romans 8:11-14) because God wants to guide us “in paths of righteousness” (Psalms 23:3).

FORGIVE MY INIQUITY / PSALMS 25:11

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Psalms 25:11

For thy name’s sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

FORGIVE MY INIQUITY / PSALMS 25:11

The word translated “iniquity” (Hebrew ‘awon) means “perversion” or “crooked behavior” and comes from a root word meaning to twist or distort. It was often used to refer to a twisting of something that could have been good – suggesting wrong motives or selfish purposes. The term is also used to describe the guilt of sin that was done on purpose, as well as the punishment that followed.

SHOW ME YOUR WAYS / PSALMS 25:4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Psalms 25:4-5

Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths. 5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

SHOW ME YOUR WAYS / PSALMS 25:4

Like Moses (Exodus 33:13), the psalmist deeply desires to know how God works and to understand His plans and purposes. It is possible for believers to know something about God’s acts (Salvation, miracles; Psalms 103:7), but never really know God personally or understand His ways (the principles of wisdom by which He works in us and guides us). But here the psalmist gives the following principles for knowing and succeeding in God’s ways:

  1. We must have a sincere desire for God to lead us in the ways that are right according to the standards of truth in His Word (Psalms 25:4).
  2. We must be willing to put our trust and hope in God “all day long” (Psalms 25:5).
  3. We must humbly submit to God (Psalms 25:9), commit ourselves to godly living (Psalms 25:10) and fear the Lord (deeply honor, revere and recognize His awesome power and authority (Psalms 25:12-14).
  4. Since sin is a barrier to knowing God and His ways, we must remove from our lives anything that offends Him or rejects His standards, then allow Him to forgive and spiritually cleanse us (Psalms 25:4-8). “I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened” (Psalms 66:18; 1 John 2:1-6).

Difficulty in our lives is not necessarily a sign of God’s disapproval (Psalms 34:19). Knowing God and pursuing His purposes may lead us into suffering and loss (Acts 14:22; 20:22-23). There is no higher example of this than Jesus Himself, who followed God’s plan perfectly, yet suffered sorrow, betrayal and death on a cross. Anyone who lives in God’s plan and purpose should know that trouble, opposition, rejection and persecution will come (Matthew 10:24).

THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP / LUKE 14:28-33

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 14:28-33

THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP / LUKE 14:28-33

Jesus teaches that whoever desires to follow Him should first decide whether he or she is prepared to pay the cost. The cost of real discipleship (the process of being a disciplined follower of Christ, learning to become more like Him) is the willingness to give up or put aside anything else in life – relationships, possessions, positions, plans, opportunities, etc. (Luke 14:33). This does not mean that we must reject all we have or deny our God-given abilities and interests, but all we have must be devoted to Christ, placed at His service and under His guidance (Luke 13:14; John 16:33; 2 Timothy 3:12).

DOES NOT HATE HIS FATHER / LUKE 14:26-27

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 14:26-27

 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

DOES NOT HATE HIS FATHER / LUKE 14:26-27

Jesus uses a hyperbole (a clear exaggeration expressed for greater effect) to make the point about loving Him far above anything else. In this sense, the word “hate” means “love less” (compare this text with Matthew 10:37; Genesis 29:31; Malachi 1:3). Jesus demands that our loyalty to and love for Him be greater than every other affection and attachment in life, including our own families.

THE PARABLE OF THE GREAT BANQUET / LUKE 14:15-24

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 14:15-24

THE PARABLE OF THE GREAT BANQUET / LUKE 14:15-24

Although this parable originally applied to Israel and its widespread rejection of Christ and His message, it also applies to churches and individual believers today. 

  1. The subject of this parable is Christ’s future heavenly kingdom and those who will actually be a part of it following His return (Luke 14:14-15; 22:18).
  2. Those who were initially invited represent the Jews and their leaders who claimed to be waiting for the fulfillment of God’s kingdom on earth. But when Christ came, they refused His invitation to be part of that kingdom because He did not fit their expectations. Today, Christ’s invitation to eternal life goes out to all people. Many of those who appear to have received and accepted the invitation will ultimately pass up their opportunity to be with Christ. This is because other interests and concerns will take priority, and their love for Jesus and the heavenly kingdom will grow cold (Luke 14:17-20). None of the excuses given was genuine. For example, a person would not buy land or purchase oxen without first inspecting these things. 
  3. Such people do not set goals or follow through with them based on godly, eternal standards (Luke 14:18-20). They reject the Bible’s challenge to set their “minds on things above, not on earthly things,” while waiting for Christ to return (Colossians 3:1-4). Their life’s hopes and aspirations are centered on worldly, temporary things; and they no longer passionately desire “a better country – a heavenly one” (Hebrews 11:16).
  4. Luke 14:21-23 teaches us that there will also be those whose hearts are fully devoted to Christ and focused on eternal issues. They respond to Christ’s invitation without reservation and have nothing in life they value more than the opportunity to be with Jesus. Such people are able to pray with the Spirit and the bride (the rest of God’s faithful people in the church); “Amen. Come, Lord Jesus” (Revelation 22:17).
  5. Followers of Jesus can be part of the invitation process, helping to deliver His message to people in “the streets and alleys” (Luke 14:23). It is often in these seemingly unlikely places where people are more ready to respond to Christ’s message. Yet Christ’s heavenly kingdom will be full of “unlikely” people.
