FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR TRADITION / MATTHEW 15:5-6

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 15:5-6

But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR TRADITION / MATTHEW 15:5-6

Some Pharisees, who acted as if they were truly concerned about God’s law, actually violated that law on many points for the sake of their own ideas, traditions and conveniences. For example, they denied people’s elderly parents their rightful financial support because those people were bringing that money to the temple where it was at the Pharisees’ discretion, giving them greater wealth and power. People in the church today must be careful that they do not “nullify the word of God” because of tradition, popular ideas, cultural norms or their own interests. To do so is to fall into the same sinful trap as the Pharisees and Jewish leaders (Mark 7:8).

DON’T BE AFRAID / MATTHEW 14:27

START OUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 14:27

But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

DON’T BE AFRAID / MATTHEW 14:27

In this life, there are many things we could fear, but Jesus wants us to trust Him. We have no reason to be afraid if we depend on Him. His words of encouragement are based on His unlimited power and intense personal love for all who truly belong to Him. Perhaps the most frequent prohibition (a thing God tells us “not to do”) in all the Bible is to “Fear not” (or some form of that phrase). Usually it is God the Father or Jesus Christ who encourages His people with the command: “do not be afraid” (Joshua 1:9; 11:6; 2 Kings 19:6; 2 Chronicles 20:15; 32:7; Nehemiah 4:14; Psalms 49:16; 91:5; Isaiah 10:24; 37:6; 44:8; Matthew 17:7; 28:10; Mark 5:36; Luke 12:4; John 14:1, 27; Acts 18:9; 1 Peter 3:14).

PRAY ALONE / MATTHEW 14:23-24

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 14:23-24

 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. 24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary

PRAY ALONE / MATTHEW 14:23-24

While on earth, Jesus often pulled away from the crowds and activity to spend time alone with His Father (Mark 1:35; 6:46; Luke 5:16; 9:18; 22:41; Hebrews 5:7). If Jesus Himself needed this time, how much more must we show our dependence on God in this way. Time alone with God is essential to the spiritual well-being of every Christian. The lack of desire to pray is an unmistakable sign that one’s spiritual life is in a process of decline. If this is happening, we must take a hard look at our lives and remove anything that offends God or gets in the way of our relationship with Him. We must then come boldly, but humbly, to Him and renew our commitment to spending time with Him in prayer (Luke 18:1). Prayer is simply talking and interacting with God. It involves two-way communication in which we speak but also learn to listen for God’s responses and direction.

LOAVES AND FISH / MATTHEW 14:19

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 14:19

And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

LOAVES AND FISH / MATTHEW 14:19

The miracle of the feeding of the five thousand is recorded in all four Gospels (Mark 6:34-44; Luke 9:10-17; John 6:1-14). This miracle illustrates the following spiritual principles:

  1. It is proof of the Lord’s power to perform miracles.
  2. It points to Jesus as the “bread of life” (John 6), the one who provides for both body and soul. 
  3. It is an example of Jesus’ compassion for people in need (Matthew 14:14; Exodus 34:6; Micah 7:18). 
  4. It teaches that regardless of how little we have, God can multiply the effects of what we surrender to Him and do great things with it. In other words, God can do very much with very little if we entrust our situations to Him. 
  5. Jesus involves His followers in His miracles.

DANCED FOR THEM / MATTHEW 14:6-7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 14:6-7

 But when Herod’s birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. 7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask

DANCED FOR THEM / MATTHEW 14:6-7

The public, and likely sensuous (causing lustful thoughts) performance of an ungodly girl for Herod and his guests led to the death of one of the godliest men who ever lived. Even Herod had regrets about his foolish promise and was distressed about executing John. 

  1. Worldly parties, sensual dancing and ungodly entertainment often lead to foolish and regretful decisions. Such activities usually increase inappropriate passions and cause people to forget God, diminishing their ability to recognize sin and make right choices. True followers of God will not participate in or try to justify such activities. 

According to Scripture, spontaneous dancing by Hebrew women and girls was done on exceptionally joyful occasions (Jeremiah 31:4), such as victory celebrations following a battle as they sang to the Lord (Exodus 15:19-21). But this kind of dancing was an expression of godly joy (the term often used for “dance” simply implies to leap and turn about); it did not involve sensually provocative or suggestive movements just for “fun” or to feel good. In addition, there is no Biblical record that Jewish men danced with women, nor is there any indication that Jewish women ever danced to entertain an audience. The dancing of  Herodias’ daughter at Herod’s birthday party was a pagan practice (of a culture that recognized no god or many false “gods”).

SEPARATE THE WICKED FROM THE RIGHTEOUS / MATTHEW 13:49

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 13:9

So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

SEPARATE THE WICKED FROM THE RIGHTEOUS / MATTHEW 13:49

Like the parable of the wheat and weeds, this teaches about the final separation of the righteous from the wicked – those who served God and those who did not. Both parables describe this end-time separation in the same order (Matthew 13:30; Matthew 13:41; Matthew 13:43): all who do evil are gathered first and the righteous are gathered second (Revelation 19:11-20:4). This order clearly reveals that this separation occurs at the end of the tribulation (Matthew 24:29-31; Revelation 19:11-20:4) and not at the rapture (when Christ takes His faithful followers from the wicked world before the tribulation, see 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Thessalonians 4:13; 1 Thessalonians 4:17; 1 Thessalonians 4:18; Revelation 3:10). That means the righteous who are separated in the end are those who turned to Christ during the intensely horrific tribulation period. In this parable, Christ again stresses that among God’s people there will be many who are not truly loyal to Him and His Word.

KINGDOM … A NET / MATTHEW 13:47

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 13:47

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

KINGDOM … A NET / MATTHEW 13:47

The parable of the net reveals once again the truth that Christ has already strongly emphasized: not all who appear to be part of His visible kingdom on earth (the church) are truly children of God. Churches and Christian organizations do not necessarily represent the true followers of God. Christ provides the opportunity of spiritual salvation, making it available to all people; but only those who live with true faith, purity and righteousness will ultimately remain in God’s kingdom (Matthew 24:11, 24; Galatians 5:19-21; Luke 13:21).

KINGDOM … TREASURE / MATTHEW 13:44-46

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 13:44-46

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: 46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

KINGDOM … TREASURE / MATTHEW 13:44-46

In ancient times, it was not uncommon to hide treasure in the ground since there were no organized banks. The parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl teach two truths:

  1. The kingdom is a priceless treasure that is to be valued and desired above all else. 

People who become part of God’s heavenly kingdom must be willing to give up everything that could hinder their relationship with God or prevent them from accomplishing His purpose for them. Jesus in no way suggests that we can earn a place in His kingdom with money or good works. He is telling us that the kingdom must be our absolute highest priority. “Selling all” means that we must transfer our whole heart from other interests to the one supreme interest – that is, Christ (Romans 12:1). We must be willing to put aside everything else in order to serve Him.

THE FIERY FURNACE / MATTHEW 13:42

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 13:42

And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

THE FIERY FURNACE / MATTHEW 13:42

Jesus describes what will happen in the end to all who oppose God, promote sin and do evil (Matthew 13:41). They will be tormented with fire and suffer severely (Revelation 14:9-11; 20:10). No one who accepts the Bibles as God’s Word can reject this truth. The wicked are not annihilated (totally destroyed so that they cease to exist) as some religions and cults teach, but rather they are thrown into “the fiery furnace” (Matthew 10:28). In other words, they will live forever – just like those who lived for God – except that those who rejected God will spend eternity in a place of unimaginable suffering, separated from God forever (Matthew 10:28).

WEED OUT … EVERYTHING THAT CAUSES SIN / MATTHEW 13:41

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 13:41

The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

WEED OUT … EVERYTHING THAT CAUSES SIN / MATTHEW 13:41

When Christ returns to earth after the tribulation period (when God releases His end-time judgments on the earth, Revelation 19:11-21), there will be a time of spiritual harvest, or gathering, of both the wicked and the righteous still living on earth (Matthew 13:30, 40-42). 

  1. The wicked are first gathered and separated from the righteous (Matthew 13:30, 41, 49). 
  2. The righteous are gathered next (Matthew 13:30, 41-43, 49); this gathering will be from “out of His kingdom” 

After the wicked are destroyed, judged and sentenced to eternal punishment apart from God, then the righteous will be rewarded and “will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father” (Matthew 13:43; 25:31-34; Revelation 20:4).
