Judges 2:1 (April 27th)

Quiet Time Nugget:

What a wonderful promise an angel of the Lord said: "I will never break my covenant with you,"… This is what God too promised us after the earth was destroyed during the flood.  If we focus on one word 'never', we need to realize that every time we are feeling down, think that God is not listening to us and that he has changed his mind - we are forgetting about his covenants.  Remember God is not a god who lies and/or gives us false hopes.  He is a God of love and mercies.  When God promises you something He will follow through.  Just continue trusting Him and thanking Him for the rewards that is about to come.  I trust Him and I know that He wants the best for me.

Romans 7:25 (April 26th)

Quiet Time Nugget:

Thanks be to God. Who will deliver us from this body of death?  The Lord Jesus has already done it.  We are to respond to the feeling of discouragement and failure by reminding ourselves that Jesus Christ died for our sin and He forgives us constantly.  Our feelings must be of thankfulness for all He has done. We are no longer under the law described in the old testament.  Now we are free children of God, living normal human lives.  We have his power within us and although sometimes we do not feel that power, to say,"No!" and walk away from those things that can cause us to fall into temptations.  If it wasn't for His mercies we would not be here.  So again thank Him God through Jesus Christ our Lord our Savior.

Joshua 24:14 (April 26th)

Quiet Time Nugget:

The application of this verse is about God's mercies to Joshua and the people.  It is an exhortation to fear and serve God, in gratitude for his favor, and that it might be continued.  We know that our work for God is never fully done until our life is done.  If God lengthens our days, it is because He has some further service for us to do.  Let's stop making excuses for every little thing and be sincere and faithful.  How can God use you to do His work if you are not sincere and faithful.  Examine your life and ask Him to help you make the necessary changes to serve him and do according to His will.

Romans 5:1 (April 25th)

Quiet Time Nugget:

What a description of a blissful and calm state which the sense of justification brings.  A blessed change takes place in the sinner's state, when he/she becomes a true believer.  You can have peace with God when you are justified by faith.  Faith will bring that justification, justification will bring that peace with God all through the mediation of Jesus Christ.  The holy, righteous God, cannot be at peace with a sinner, while under the guilt of sin.  Justification takes away the guilt, and so makes way for us to have peace through our Lord Jesus Christ.  I hope you can find that peace and begin to built in your heart that eager hope that looks forward to a glorious future with God.

Romans 3:23 -25 (April 24th)

Quiet Time Nugget:

Have you been justified by His grace?  In other words: have you been declared or made righteous in the sight of God by His grace?
The righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ is for all who believe.  We are all sinners and have fallen short of the glory of God but we can be justified by his grace as a gift.  What a wonderful gift, grace.  If it wasn't for God mercy and grace, we would have never had the opportunity to be made righteous.  Thank Him every moment of your life for all He has done for you.  Praise Him through prayer or singing.  God will never leave you.  Trust in Him.

Joshua 21 (April 24th)

Quiet Time Nugget:

Wikipedia:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasture


What are pasturelands and why does Joshua 21 repeat it numerous times?  In this chapter, Joshua was to allot the Levites land to dwell along with their pasturelands for livestock. According to wikipedia: "Pasturelands in the narrow sense are enclosed tracts of farmland, grazed by domesticated livestock, such as horses, cattle, sheep or swine.  The vegetation of tended pasture, forage, consists mainly of grasses.  Pasture is typically grazed throughout the summer."

In this modern day, we do not go around allotting  groups of people land, however, God has allotted us different places where we can go and spread the gospel.  Many of the different places include: your job,  school, waiting for an appointment at the doctor, emergency room, dentist, barber, etc.  Because the mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life (Prov 10:11), we need to go and spread the good news to all so they too can have life.
