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 29



Luke 16-17
I know that there was another post in this blog addressing this subject, but it comes up again in today’s reading.  I often hear Christians speak of a literal kingdom that is yet to come.  However, this is what scripture plainly indicates: Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.”  There is no future physical kingdom coming.  The kingdom of God has already arrived, and if you are a Christian you are a citizen of that kingdom now and forever!
