Acts 20:35
In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: It is more blessed to give than to receive.

When you’re watching television, the commercials all focus on one thing: getting. Get this, buy that. Why? Because it will make you happy! But God’s message is the opposite. He commands you to give. Why? Because happiness isn’t found in what you hold in your hands, it’s found in what you give with them.

Colossians 3:23
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.

It’s a great day to remember that the work you do every day matters! Sometimes you do that work in hopes that your boss will notice and give you a raise. But God encourages you, no matter the outcome, to do your job to the best of your ability because it’s His will for you! And when you do, you don’t have to worry about being noticed because God sees the work you do every single day.

Deuteronomy 8:3
He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.

Food fills your belly, while God’s Word fills your spirit. And while the Israelites were in the wilderness, God gave them both! He did it to show them that, to survive, they needed to put their trust in Him and Him alone. So, as you eat today, remember this: food is what gives your body the stamina to get through the day, but it’s the time you spend in God’s Word, that helps you have the stamina to get through everything else.

Acts 5:42
Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.

The early church embodied a relentless commitment to share the Gospel with as many people as possible. Day in and day out, they went to people’s houses and spent time in the temple to make sure people heard the Good News that fulfilling the law doesn’t save a person, only Jesus can do that. And over 2000 years later, that message is still the same!

John 14:26
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

Have you ever had a Bible verse just randomly pop in your mind, especially in a moment when you really needed it? That was the Holy Spirit. One of His many jobs is to remind you of what God says in His word. So, Jesus hasn’t left you alone to figure life out all by yourself, He’s given you a Helper, who is available 24/7 365 days a year.

Titus 2:1
You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine.

Do you talk the talk, or do you walk the walk? Every single day, whether you know it or not, you teach people what it looks like to be a believer in the way you live, the way you talk, and the way you act. That’s why Paul encouraged Titus to not simply speak the truth with his words, but to live it out in his actions as well. Your actions often speak much louder than your words.
