Monday - Sacred Places - Deuteronomy 12:5 
We know and have been taught that the place of worship is important. Whether it is under a tree in the bush country, or the market place, or if it is the Temple, itself. The standard that was set in Deuteronomy was a place of God's choosing, the place where He will put His Name. We know that the New Testament teachers us that we are the temples of God and that He desires to place His Spirit within our hearts, our souls, our spirits. We are to praise Him fully in those places and establish them as sacred places for worship.

Tuesday - Mt. Gerizum - Deuteronomy 11:29 
The mountain that the woman at the well made reference to as the place for the fathers of the Samaritans to worship was also the mountain from which Joshua was to declare the blessings from God upon the people after the Israelites inhabited the Promise Land. Later on after the exile, the Samaritans worshipped there seeking the blessings of God upon there people, after they were not permitted to help in the rebuilding of the Temple on the return from Babylon.

Wednesday - Universal Worship - Romans 14:11 
What Jesus was pointing towards in His conversation with the woman at the well was that very time when, as Paul described it, "As surely as I live," says the Lord, "Every knee shall bow before Me, every tongue will confess to God." A quote that was being made ready for fulfillment from the time of Isaiah and is coming quickly, according to God's timing. There will be no need for all the different places or settings but we will be gathered together as one, in one accord, proclaiming one message, "He Is Lord!!!"

Thursday - Spiritual Knowledge - John 8:31-32 
The knowledge that comes to us by believing in Jesus as the Christ brings about a deliverance from the bondage of the mindset that this world (society) would like to push upon us. If we hold to the Spiritual knowledge that can be ours we will be set free and experience that freedom to the fullest possible end. It is what Paul stated to those he wrote to in Romans 12:1-2. This knowledge which leads us to give ourselves total is a renewing of our mind that is no longer pressed or conformed to be like everybody else's way of thinking, but is free to be what it was fully created to be in Christ Jesus.

Friday - Spiritual Dawn - 2 Peter 1:19 
The truth we have about who Jesus is and represents, is that bright light that brings illumination to all the blessings that God has desired to lavish on us that is a part of His love. It is a lamp that shines in the darkness that no one is unable to see for it is the light of the morning star that rises in our hearts and not just on the horizon. When we seek to worship the Lord we will be guided by the light that directs us into the Presence of , the One who is worthy of praise. And we will have to enter into that light of truth to worship the One who is True. When we think of the first time that we came to Jesus as our Lord, we were awakened in our hearts by the spiritual truth of a new beginning, a new dawning in our lives, leading us to live by His grace and Mercy

Saturday - Christ as Teacher - Matthew 4:23-25 
Jesus gained a reputation as being a great teacher, not because of the fancy words that could be uttered but by the response of the people to see that His words went beyond just something to listen to but brought about the healing of bodies, souls, and minds that were in such desperate need of help. They heard His words as having authority so the people brought other people to hear and to be touched by the truth of His teaching.

Monday - Spiritual Striving - Luke 13:24 
There is a battle going on within us over the right way and an easier way. In Sunday's scripture it said that few are those who find the right way. Here in Luke, it is stated that many may try to enter in but not be able to because they tried to enter by an easier route than the way of love and obedience. Jesus told the people to make every effort to find and enter through the narrow or right door, so that they will gain access into His presence and know His peace.

Tuesday - Evil Way - Isaiah 59:8 
The same prophet who spoke for God about John the Baptist coming to make straight the path or way for the Lord Jesus Christ to come, also states that many will try to make that straight path or way crooked by not seeking the true peace of God, or by corrupting the justice set by God for all people, or turning the paths that lead to God, or Christ, into a path that is crooked or evil. Isaiah warned Israel that anyone who walked in such paths would never know peace or the Prince of Peace.

Wednesday - The Wicked - Philippians 3:17-19 
Paul tries to encourage the Philippians to follow the path that he walks because he was walking the pathway of Christ. Yet even with such an example by both Christ and Paul, there were those who chose to walk a different way and we seen as enemies of the very Savior who died on the cross for them. This is that way that leads to destruction of what could have been a fruitful life of joy peace and fellowship with God. These enemies were the ones who lived to satisfy their own selfish desires, the appetites (their stomachs). Paul says that all they thought about were the things of this world and nothing about God, our Savior Jesus Christ, or the peace that comes through a life of walking with Him.

Thursday - Sin Destructive - Romans 7:11 
In Sundays message we heard and read that the crooked, wide gate and path leads to destruction because it makes its way through sinful living, the crooked way. Paul even confessed that at one point in his life sin had taken advantage of him leading him down that path which ends in death, spiritual death. He was deceived to think that path was the right way, but yet it was robbing him of all that God's word had promised as the rewards of fellowship with God. He had to come to the point of dying out to the destructive way and give himself fully to the path that is straight and narrow and leads to the wonders of the Lord.

Friday - Few Saved - Matthew 22:11-14 
As Jesus Christ came closer to the end of His earthly ministry, He taught in such a way to get the people looking for the great time of feasting around God's table in heaven. He told of a wedding feast that had a person in it that was not willing to truly prepare himself to be at such and honored place, at such a wondrous occasion. Jesus says that the king or host of the feast walked over to the man and confronted him about his lack of preparation and the man was speechless (he had no excuse). The king had the man bound and thrown out because of his lack of obedience to the invitation. The king represented the same God who said sacrifices are okay but I long for a people who will come in obedience with contrite hearts.

Saturday - Eternal Life - John 3:36 
Jesus begins this statement in verse 36 with the glad pronouncement that everyone who believes in the Son of God will have eternal life with Him, beginning with the moment of true faith and continuing throughout time. But everyone who does not believe or lives the evil, wicked way will not even see life as it ought to be, for there will be something missing and something burning against him.. .God's wrath for those who chose to live as His enemy.
