Daily. Bible. Reading.  September 30 - October 4

Monday—Read: John 7:1-13 Think: Do you think his ‘brothers’ have Jesus’ best intentions at heart? Pray: Ask the Lord to reveal when people give you bad advice.

Tuesday—Read: John 7:14-24 Think: The crowd accuses Jesus of having a demon. Why? Should we always trust the wisdom of the crowd’s opinion? Pray: For wisdom about an issue you are struggling with in your life.

Wednesday—Read: John 7:25-31 Think: Verse 26 is a fascinating thought: What if the people who killed Jesus knew all along who he was? If this were true, would it surprise you? Pray: That “many more” (v. 31) will believe.

Thursday—Read: John 7:32-36 Think: Jesus is being cryptic here, but he seems to indicate those who seek him for wrong reasons will be frustrated. Do you think that is true? What are your motives with the Christ? Pray: Speak to the Lord about your motives for life.

Friday–Read: John 7:37-52 Think: We often interpret water in the Bible the way we perceive it. But John tells us what the water Jesus is speaking about is. What is the water’s symbolism? Pray: For the Spirit to flow freely in and through and out of you.
