Passage of the Day:

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” ² He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. ³ And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. ⁴ Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. ⁵ And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. ⁶ “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. ⁷ Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come! ⁸ If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. ⁹ And if your eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell, Matthew 18:1-9.

Reflection:

When I grew up, whenever an adult or parent was about to say something inappropriate, they would first look around to see if any children were present. Rather than speak without thinking, adults might whisper to one another if their comment was edgy to keep age-appropriate content among their peers. Unfortunately, times have changed as F-bombs go unfiltered, regularly expressed in public. Subsequently, children’s ears are being corrupted as curse words are freely exchanged without a thought of how this will influence children’s future language.

Prayerful Action:

Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it, Proverbs 22:6.

I remember the first time my father heard me curse. My dad responded like his former Army drill sergeant when a recruit was getting out of line. This initial rebuke shocked my soul and quickly brought me back on track, Matthew 7:13-14. As I grew up, my father was the disciplinarian in my house, using a paddle given to him by his fraternity brothers in college. When your father was a defensive end in college, it only took a couple of spankings to realize I didn’t want to experience that anymore. Although modern educators refer to this as cruelty, I was simply scared straight.

Song of the Day:

As society evolves, I pray that Americans return to the Judeo-Christian which this country was founded upon. Although revisionist historians have doctored and rewritten history in modern textbooks, the Bible provides plenty of guidance to notice and see all the little children living around and among your spheres of influence.

Passage of the Day:

Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Pray to the Lord to take the frogs away from me and my people, and I will let your people go to offer sacrifices to the Lord.” ⁹ Moses said to Pharaoh, “I leave to you the honor of setting the time for me to pray for you and your officials and your people that you and your houses may be rid of the frogs, except for those that remain in the Nile.” ¹⁰ “Tomorrow,” Pharaoh said. Moses replied, “It will be as you say, so that you may know there is no one like the Lord our God. ¹¹ The frogs will leave you and your houses, your officials and your people; they will remain only in the Nile.” ¹² After Moses and Aaron left Pharaoh, Moses cried out to the Lord about the frogs he had brought on Pharaoh. ¹³ And the Lord did what Moses asked. The frogs died in the houses, in the courtyards and in the fields. ¹⁴ They were piled into heaps, and the land reeked of them. ¹⁵ But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had said, Exodus 8:8-15.

Reflection:

As a college friend used to say, “when times are good, most people abandon God.” As things go according to plan and or your expectations are met, it’s easy to live a happy go lucky life. However, the moment the tables are turned as in the life of Pharoah, he summons Moses and asks for prayers to relieve the circumstances brought by God. According to the book of Exodus, the softening of Pharoah’s heart does not occur until the death of his first-born son, Exodus 12:31-32.

Prayerful Action:

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. ¹¹ Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. ¹² Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me, Psalm 51:10-12.

One thing that I have learned from my experiences as a counselor at a boarding school and high school teacher is that there is a back story behind every action, attitude, behavior and choice made. Writing the Improbable Escape, a screenplay about my father’s family journey from Lithuania to America during World War II, helped me better understand my father. After discovering that his father was a police chief, I began to see what shaped his disciplinarian nature. Meanwhile, as I became married, and Leanne had our three children, I witnessed the softening on my father’s heart. Rather than become stuck in his former ways of thinking like Pharoah, my dad’s heart turned compassionate by loving each of his grandchildren. When all of my children were in high school, there was a twinkling in his eyes as he saw their future potential in life. These are just a few examples of what can happen when you allow your heart to become open to change for the better.

Song of the Day:

Part of the apostle Paul’s teaching about keeping in step with the Holy Spirit, Galatians 5:25, is contingent on adopting a heart for God. Stubborn people like Pharoah aren’t open to change. However, teachable souls that cry out to the Lord for help open the door for the softening of their hearts. This can happen to you if you allow God to become the Lord of your life.

Passage of the Day:

 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. ⁶ But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. ⁷ That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. ⁸ Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do. ⁹ Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. ¹⁰ But the rich should take pride in their humiliation—since they will pass away like a wild flower. ¹¹ For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business. ¹² Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him, James 1:5-12.

Reflection:

James is writing first century Christians to inform them how they should behave while undergoing various trials and temptations. Although the New International translation uses perseveres at the conclusion of this section of Scripture, other translations use steadfast. Steadfast is being firm in your belief with a determination to adhere to and uphold your convictions. Being steadfast is often the difference between winning and losing spiritually as James illustrates in James 1:13-15.

Prayerful Action:

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain, 1 Corinthians 15:58.

Building Up Bible Believing Behaviors:

The apostle Paul insinuates that Christians will come to a crossroads in their spiritual life. When this moment arises, don’t be surprised if the Devil plants thoughts of doubt into your mind. Suddenly whispers of “what’s the point or why not quit,” may enter your mind. This is where possessing a steadfast spirit is essential to standing firm against the Devil’s schemes, Ephesians 6:10-11. If you feel beaten down by the hand life has currently dealt you, hang in there and pray to the Lord for a steadfast spirit. In your weakness, allow Christ to be strong, Philippians 4:13.

Song of the Day:

As I write today’s post, I’m speaking from experience as God as forced me to dig deep. The only thing keeping me from losing faith is the apostle Paul’s call to be steadfast. May the lyrics of today’s song give you the hope to press on.

Passage of the Day:

You are not to do as we do here today, everyone doing as they see fit, ⁹ since you have not yet reached the resting place and the inheritance the Lord your God is giving you. ¹⁰ But you will cross the Jordan and settle in the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, and he will give you rest from all your enemies around you so that you will live in safety. ¹¹ Then to the place the Lord your God will choose as a dwelling for his Name—there you are to bring everything I command you: your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts, and all the choice possessions you have vowed to the Lord. ¹² And there rejoice before the Lord your God—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levites from your towns who have no allotment or inheritance of their own. ¹³ Be careful not to sacrifice your burnt offerings anywhere you please. ¹⁴ Offer them only at the place the Lord will choose in one of your tribes, and there observe everything I command you, Deuteronomy 12:8-14.

Reflection:

As Moses prepares Israel to enter into God’s promised land of Canaan, he makes an interesting statement. Israel spent forty years wandering in the wilderness mainly because everyone did and lived as they each saw fit. No one appears to have taken the Ten Commandments serious. During the days when Israel was led by a series of Judges, a leader points out that everyone did that which was right in their own eyes, Judges 21:25. This is the context that inspired Moses to urge Israel to rest in God’s presence.

Prayerful Action:

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest,” Matthew 11:28.

Building Up Bible Believing Behaviors:

I have a hard time slowing down in life, always reminded by everything I want to accomplish on my days off. However, if I’m constantly going and fail to rest in God’s presence, I’m following the same path as Israel, doing as I see fit. Perhaps, this is why the director of music wrote down the words to Psalm 46:10, “Be still and know that I am God.” Don’t just rest in God’s presence when you have problems. Rather, slow down once a week to reflect upon God’s power, promises and presence.

Final Thoughts:

I discovered I Give Myself Away during the Coronavirus Pandemic. When I started to play the attached song daily, I was reminded to rest in God’s presence, trusting in Him amidst the plague brought upon mankind, Proverbs 3:5-6. Make resting in God’s presence a weekly habit.

Passage of the Day:

You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, ¹¹ persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. ¹² In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, ¹³ while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. ¹⁴ But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, ¹⁵ and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶ All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, ¹⁷ so that the servant of God^[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work, 2 Timothy 3:10-17.

Reflection:

I was introduced to the term quiet time through the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. During a sports camp one summer, I was given a small pamphlet with a series of passages to read each day. After locating a quiet place to concentrate, my small group huddle came together to discuss what everyone just read. Each quiet time was like a building block that fit into the spiritual theme for the week. Now as an adult, my daily quiet time consists of reading a book of the Bible straight through, stopping each day after I have filled an entire page of my journal with notes. This is my quiet time with God.

Prayerful Action:

How can a young person stay on the path of purity?  By living according to your word. ¹⁰ I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. ¹¹ I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you, Psalm 119:9-11.

Building Up Bible Believing Behaviors:

The apostle Paul’s final words to a first century pastor is centered around studying the Bible. While there are numerous Christian podcasts and talk shows available to listen to, nothing replaces studying the Words of God on your own. Hebrews 4:12 states that the words inside the Bible are living and active. Subsequently, each time you devote time to read and study the Bible, you’ll probably learn something new based upon what’s going on in your life. As long as you remain open to the Holy Spirit’s calling, daily quiet times with God can and will transform your life.

Song of the Day:

I was introduced to the attached song when I was in college. Whenever times got tough for me, I was reminded to keep living in the pages. This can be accomplished by scheduling a daily quiet time with God.

Passage of the Day:

Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” ³⁷ He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. ³⁸ Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.” ³⁹ Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” ⁴⁰ Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter. ⁴¹ “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” ⁴² He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.” ⁴³ When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. ⁴⁴ So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing. ⁴⁵ Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. ⁴⁶ Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!” – Matthew 26:36-46

Reflection:

Prior to Jesus’ arrest and crucifixion, Jewish religious leaders were trying to find a way to kill Him. However, Jesus’ following had become so great, the Pharisees and teachers of the law were unable to entrap or outsmart Him, Matthew 22:46. In the days known as the Passion Week, Jesus’ knew that God’s plan for His life was about to be fulfilled. Nonetheless, Jesus’ humanity was overcome by the darkness of knowing His fate on a cross. In the middle of the night, Jesus asked the ten disciples with Him to stay and keep watch in prayer. Unfortunately, their tired bodies gave into the temptation to sleep and were not prepared for what was about to happen on that first Good Friday.

Prayerful Action:

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. ²⁷ And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God, Romans 8:26-27.

Building Up Bible Believing Behaviors:

The placement of the apostle Paul’s words in the above passage points to Jesus’ confession nearly two thousand years ago. The spirit deep inside of you is willing, but the human body is weak. When Paul recounts his own struggles to control his sinful nature in Romans 7:11-25. he recognizes that the Holy Spirit is the only to successfully overcome a weakened body. Therefore, the next time you begin to endure periods of spiritual darkness like Ephesians 6:10-13, put on the full armor of God so that you can stand your ground by praying through the darkness.

Song of the Day:

Passage of the Day:

On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. ¹⁸ Now Bethany was less than two miles^[b] from Jerusalem, ¹⁹ and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother. ²⁰ When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home. ²¹ “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died. ²² But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.” ²³ Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” ²⁴ Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” ²⁵ Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; ²⁶ and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” ²⁷ “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.” ²⁸ After she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside. “The Teacher is here,” she said, “and is asking for you.” ²⁹ When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him. ³⁰ Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him. ³¹ When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her, noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there. ³² When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” ³³ When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. ³⁴ “Where have you laid him?” he asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they replied. ³⁵ Jesus wept, John 11:17-35.

Reflection:

In this age of hero worship, fame and fortune is placed above hard work and dedication. Subsequently, rather than look up to father figures, more and more young people have become captivated by social media influencers. This explains why many individuals are self-absorbed with daily posts that scream, “look at me; look at me!” These are the thoughts that came to my mind when my mother told me the news that my father suddenly passed away yesterday, May 18th. My father was forced to leave his home in Lithuania and all of his possessions during World War 2. His parents and older brother John began an improbable escape toward one of four Displaced Persons Zones set up for refugees also forced from their homes. I spent the last two years of my father’s life recounting these events and documenting them into a screen play. While there will be lots of weeping in the days and weeks to come, Joseph J. Mankus Sr. has passed but won’t be forgotten.

Prayerful Action:

Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. ¹⁵ Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that,” James 4:14-15.

Building Up Bible Believing Behaviors:

Jesus wept is the shortest verse in the Bible. This emotion released by Jesus lets men realize that it is okay to cry. Based upon accounts from the four gospels, Jesus and Lazarus were close friends and He was acquaintances with his sisters Mary and Martha. While Jesus had the power and plan to raise Lazarus from the dead, most families are forced to deal with the grim reality of death. Nonetheless, the best way to honor the lives of those who have passed is to strive to emulate the godly traits that were demonstrated in their living years.

Song of the Day:

My wife encouraged me to go see my folks this past week for four days. Before catching my flight on Thursday, I hugged my father which I know now was for the last time. After saying, “I love you,” my father followed you with “I love you, my son.” Upon hearing these words something in my spirit told me the end of his life was near. While the living years have passed for my father, I will never forget the values that he instilled within me the past 54 years.

Passage of the Day:

Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. ¹² As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy^[b] met him. They stood at a distance ¹³ and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” ¹⁴ When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed. ¹⁵ One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. ¹⁶ He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? ¹⁸ Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” ¹⁹ Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well,” Luke 17:11-19.

Reflection:

Optimism is a spirit of hopefulness and confidence about the future. Optimism can be recognized by individuals who believe in and live with an overflowing confidence that success will come. After one of ten lepers were officially given a clean bill of health by a priest, this man seeks out Jesus to thank Him for performing a miracle in his life. According to Luke, this is one of the most grateful healed patients that he has ever encountered.

Prayerful Action:

Speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, ²⁰ always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Ephesians 5:19-20.

Building Up Bible Believing Behaviors:

Where did everyone else go? Where they like the man in John 5:1-7 who believed that the water in this pool possessed mystical power? Did any of the other nine healed lepers ever come back to thank Jesus? Based upon Luke’s observations, this man was the only one who remembered and gave thanks to God. This is the quality that Christians should seek to emulate today, giving God the glory as our soul is overflowing with optimism and praise for the Lord.

Song of the Day:

Jesus revealed that the words people speak come from the overflow of their hearts, Luke 6:45. If Christians begin to dwell on the positive, optimism will start to overflow from their hearts. This is the image and vision of Christians overflowing with optimism.

Passage of the Day:

Jesus told his disciples: “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions. ² So he called him in and asked him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.’ ³ “The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do now? My master is taking away my job. I’m not strong enough to dig, and I’m ashamed to beg— ⁴ I know what I’ll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.’ ⁵ “So he called in each one of his master’s debtors. He asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ ⁶ “‘Nine hundred gallons^[a] of olive oil,’ he replied. “The manager told him, ‘Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it four hundred and fifty.’ ⁷ “Then he asked the second, ‘And how much do you owe?’ “‘A thousand bushels^[b] of wheat,’ he replied. “He told him, ‘Take your bill and make it eight hundred.’ ⁸ “The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light. ⁹ I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings, Luke 16:1-9.

Reflection:

Whenever you’re told that your services are no longer needed or welcome, it’s easy to check out mentally. In this attached parable, Jesus tells a story about a man about to be fired. Filled with a sense of desperation, this shrewd individual uses common sense and savvy business practices. Perhaps, this manager became too comfortable, mailing it in daily. Before he knew it, this business that he was responsible for managing was on the verge of going out of business. If you want to save your job, marriage or anything else important to you, never give up by keep fighting, doing everything in your power to restore what’s falling apart.

Prayerful Action:

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. ¹⁰ Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers, Galatians 6:9-10.

Fourteen years ago, I found myself in an identical situation as the Shrewd Manager. After the school I was teaching at was sold in the middle of the year, I was informed that I would be replaced at the end of the semester. Rather than letting the root of bitterness fill my soul, I did all that I could do to provide a smooth transition for my replacement. On my last day of teaching, one of the secretaries told me, “I wish you weren’t leaving.” This is how others respond when you demonstrate a never give up attitude and behavior.

Song of the Day:

Today’s song came from one of my great finds at a bargain bin in Delaware. The Son Shine House was a place a refuge for me in college, where I went to find life altering music. May the words of Whatever It Takes motivate you to adopt a never give up mentality for the rest of 2024.

Passage of the Day:

For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. ¹⁵ The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.^[f] And by him we cry, “Abba,^[g] Father.” ¹⁶ The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. ¹⁷ Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. ¹⁸ I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. ¹⁹ For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. ²⁰ For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope ²¹ that^[h] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God, Romans 8:14-21.

Reflection:

After devoting an entire chapter to his own losing battle with the sinful nature, the apostle Paul follows this up with a call to action in Romans 8. If you’re not careful, sometimes you’ll find yourself playing the What If Game. If this didn’t happen or if that didn’t happen to me, I’d be so much happier and successful. Instead, Paul provides one area of focus to move on, listen and obey the Holy Spirit, Galatians 5:25. Stop allowing yourself to be held in bondage by the Devil with a decaying soul. Confess the error(s) of your way, forgive and move on into the freedom of being a child of God.

Prayerful Action:

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. ¹² For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known, 1 Corinthians 13:11-12.

Death, loss and tragedies can be hard to move on from, especially if you feel like you could have said or done something to stop this from happening. When I was a youth pastor in Indiana, one of the teenagers who attended this church died in a car crash. While there may have been alcohol involved in this accident, death is permanent. While everyone typically takes a different amount of time to recover from a shocking event like this, sooner or later you’ll have to move on. The apostle Paul urged one first century congregation to lean on the strength of Jesus when you have nothing left to give, Philippians 4:13. Trust in the power of Christ to help you move on by looking forward to the plan and work God has for you to do on earth, Philippians 1:6.

The attached song helped me two years ago when I moved to South Carolina. While I still haven’t fully adjusted, finding my place in this state, I’m ready to move on when the Spirit prompts me for my future career.
