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!

October 10


Matthew 12; Mark 3; Luke 6
Jesus chooses the twelve.  He reads their hearts and knows what role they will fill in the promotion of His kingdom.  Judas would even have a role, albeit, a negative one.  It's interesting when we consider the diversity of the apostles.  As we look at the big picture, diversity is seen throughout the Bible.  From the prophets, through the kings, and then the New Testament churches, diversity is key to the success of God's design for mankind.  He created us as individuals with unique personalities.  He then demonstrates how individuality works in His plan for eternity, accepting each of us through an attitude of grace and mercy.  Dare we do any less?
