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 12

 
Matthew 9; Luke 7
When Jesus is looked down upon for allowing a sinful woman to wash his feet with her tears, He offers a truth that has more power than is often not realized in the church. Those who have been forgiven much are more grateful than those who have been forgiven little. Very often our most diligent workers in the church are those who have had a very dark past -- those who have tasted the worst of what sin offers. It is these who are amazed that God can, and does, forgive their sins and transform them into pure servants of God. Their witness is invaluable!
