IT WAS GOOD / GENESIS 1:10

START YOU DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 1:10

And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

IT WAS GOOD / GENESIS 1:10

Seven times God states that what He created was “good” (Genesis 1:4,10,12, 18, 21, 25, 31). Each part of God’s creation was exactly as He intended. God created the world to reflect His glory (beauty, splendor, wonder) and greatness. It was also His plan for the world to be a place where humankind could experience life and joy. Notice how God created according to a specific plan and order:

Day 1 – Light – Bringing order to creation

Day 2 – Expanse

Day 3- Dry Ground

Day 4 – Light bearers

Day 5- Fish and birds – Bringing life to creation

Day 6 – Animals and humans

Day 7 – Rest – Creation is complete and good

YOU MAY BE MATURE / JAMES 1:4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) James 1:4

But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

YOU MAY BE MATURE / JAMES 1:4

The word “mature” (Greek teleios) reflects the Biblical idea of the growth or development of the person’s faith to the point of spiritual maturity. But to grow spiritually suggests that there is a right relationship with God that results in one’s wholehearted effort to love Him completely (Mark 12:30). That effort works out in the way we show our constant love, devotion, obedience and Christlike character in all circumstances (Deuteronomy 6:5; 18:13; Matthew 22:37; 1 Thessalonians 2:10).

WHO OBEY GOD’S COMMANDMENTS / REVELATION 14:12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 14:12

Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

WHO OBEY GOD’S COMMANDMENTS / REVELATION 14:12

The ultimate punishment to the followers of the beast is terrifying (Revelation 14:9-11). This is a challenge to all followers of Christ to rely completely on Him so they can endure whatever comes, while continuing to “obey God’s commandments and remain faithful to Jesus.” For their loyalty to Christ during the great tribulation, they will probably die.

HE IS A LIAR AND THE FATHER OF LIES / JOHN 8:44

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 8:44
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

HE IS A LIAR AND THE FATHER OF LIES / JOHN 8:44

Lying is specifically mentioned as a characteristic of the devil; he is the source of all dishonesty and deceit (Genesis 3:1; Genesis 3:4; Genesis 3:5; Genesis 3:6; Acts 5:3; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11; Revelation 12:7-9). This means that lying, cheating and other forms of dishonesty are totally opposed to the mind and nature of God, who is truth (Revelation 19:11). An unconcerned attitude about the sin of lying is one of the unmistakable symptoms of an ungodly condition. It is a sign that the person is not “born of the Spirit” (John 3:6) but is under the influence of Satan (John 4:24; Revelation 22:15).

EVERYONE WHO SINS / JOHN 8:34

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 8:34

Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

EVERYONE WHO SINS / JOHN 8:34

The New Testament clearly teaches that the Lord Jesus Christ Himself breaks the power and control of sin in the lives of His true followers (John 8:31-32,36; John 8:32). Individuals who habitually sin are still slaves to sin and are still allowing themselves to be under Satan’s influence and control (1 John 3:6-10; 1 John 3:8). Those who accept Christ’s forgiveness and enter a personal relationship with Him, based on His death and resurrection, will experience freedom from sin as the continue to rely on Him (Romans 6).

LOVE THE TRUTH / 2 THESSAIONIANS 2:9-10

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

LOVE THE TRUTH / 2 THESSAIONIANS 2:9-10

From the very beginning of creation, the central issue in humanity’s relationship with God has been the choice either to reject God and the truth of His Word or to love and obey them. That choice and response will continue to be pivotal (so important that it will determine future action and consequences) in the last days of this age. Salvation (rescue from spiritual death, which is separation from God) and a personal relationship with God will be experienced only by those who surrender their lives to Christ and wholeheartedly “love the truth.” Such people take God at His Word and are fully convinced of the integrity of what He has said. As a result, they reject all revelation or teaching that conflicts with that truth (Matthew 24:5; Matthew 24:11). In order to preset people with the opportunity to accept the truth of Christ for themselves, we must be bold enough to speak His message and invite people to yield their lives to Christ.

A MARK / REVELATION 13:16

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 13:16
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

A MARK / REVELATION 13:16

The antichrist will seek to gain total economic control of the world. All people are demanded to give their allegiance to him and cooperate with his system by receiving a mark on their hands or foreheads in order to buy or sell (Revelation 12:17). This mark is Satan’s substitute for God’s seal on the 144,000 (Revelation 7:3). The type of “mark” the beast uses or how it is applied in not described except to say that it is “the number of his name” (Revelation 13:17). It is clear, however, that once received, the mark is permanent, so that it identifies those who have rejected Christ and have turned their devotion to the antichrist. Economic pressure will probably be a tool used to persuade people to take the mark, which will also symbolize submission to the world government and the religion of the antichrist. Those who refuse to take the mart will be hunted down and killed (Revelation 13:15).

REFUSED TO WORSHIP THE IMAGE TO BE KILLED / REVELATION 13:15

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAYILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 13:15

And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

REFUSED TO WORSHIP THE IMAGE TO BE KILLED / REVELATION 13:15

At some point well into the great tribulation, the false prophet will erect and dedicate an image or statue of the antichrist as a focal point of worship (Daniel 3:1). It is possible that some form of the image may be placed in major locations in cities throughout the world. The main image will likely be placed in the temple, which possibly will be rebuilt in Jerusalem (Daniel 9:26-27; Matthew 24:15; 2 Thessalonians 2:4). The second beast is then “given power [by Satan] to give breath to the image.” “Breath” here is a translation of the Greek pneuma (“spirit,” which can refer to any kind of spirit). This could mean that a demonic power somehow makes the image look alive so that it appears to speak. In doing so, the false prophet claims divine power for himself and the antichrist. This may be his greatest deception, as the Bible makes it clear that only God can create and give life (the Hebrew verb bara [“create”] is never uses in the Bible with anyone other than God as the subject; He is the only Creator). By means of this great deception, official authorization will be given to kill all who refuse to worship the world ruler and his images. That is to say many who resist the antichrist and remain faithful to Jesus will be put to death (Revelation 6:9; 14:12-13).

WORSHIP THE FIRST BEAST / REVELATION 13:12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 13:12
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

WORSHIP THE FIRST BEAST / REVELATION 13:12

The second beast will attempt to clear the way for the operation of a false church that is ecumenical (promoting common faith among various religions and a blending of different beliefs and practices). Its focus will be the worship of the antichrist. This second beast will bring this about largely by performing great signs and wonders (apparent miracles, Revelation 13:13-14). His ministry will in some ways imitate the supernatural ministry of the Holy Spirit (2 Thessalonians 2:9-10). But God told His people long ago (Deuteronomy 13:1-3) that even though a prophet performs miracles and signs, he is a false prophet if he turns people away from worshiping the one true God.

BUT THE WISDOM THAT COMES FROM HEAVEN / JAMES 3:17-18

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) James 3:17-18
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

BUT THE WISDOM THAT COMES FROM HEAVEN / JAMES 3:17-18

The opposite of earthly “wisdom” is heavenly wisdom, or the true wisdom from God. This wisdom is.

  1. “Pure” – with right motives and without moral corruption (James 1:21).
  2. “Peace-loving” – Not contentious or divisive (Matthew 5:9).
  3. “Considerate” – putting others’ concerns before self.
  4. “Submissive” – giving way to what is most beneficial for others.
  5. “Full of mercy and good fruit” – actively compassionate, forgiving and character building.
  6. “Impartial”- consistent and fair.
  7. “Sincere” – genuine and without hypocrisy.
