Instructions

These are short devotional thoughts to accompany a daily Bible reading. The readings are arranged for a chronological reading of the scriptures. I am reading the Today's New International Version. However, it should work with any version. It is my prayer that it will encourage reading of God's word, and inculcating the teachings into daily living. May His richest blessings be with you!

September 23

 
Zechariah 10-14
Often people will ask why bad people prosper? Or, why do bad things happen to good people? I don't know if Jesus is quoting Zechariah in the Sermon on the Mount, but our reading today starts out with: Ask the Lord for rain in the springtime; it is the Lord who sends the thunderstorms. He gives showers of rain to all people, and plants of the field to everyone.

In this world everyone is given equal opportunity, or missed opportunity. God doesn't discriminate. However, we can be assured that He is with us through every facet of life. He will never leave us alone! All we need do is to draw near unto Him.
