Verse of the day

Genesis 2:2
And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done.

This glimpse into the dawn of creation is remarkable. God never grows tired, yet after completing His work, He chose to rest. He then established that same pattern for His people. And now, because of Jesus, ultimately one day anyone who pledges allegiance to Christ will enter His perfect rest forever.

Jeremiah 6:16a
Thus says the Lord: Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls.

At this moment in time, Israel was being judged by the LORD. But God’s desire wasn’t simply to announce judgment it was to call His people back to Himself. The rest they longed for would be found, not by following their own way, but by walking in His way.

Hebrews 4:9-10
So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.

God is all-powerful and never grows weary. And yet, in Scripture, God chose to establish the pattern of rest in creation so His people would understand something very important. Choosing to rest is an act of trust.

Exodus 33:14
And he said, My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.

When God spoke these words to Moses, it was an incredibly merciful moment. The people of Israel had just been worshiping the infamous golden calf, breaking the very covenant they had received at Mt. Sinai. Yet Moses interceded for them, and God graciously showed them mercy.

Genesis 8:22
As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.

God made a promise to Noah thousands of years ago after the flood, and He has kept it ever since. It’s a reminder that God is faithful, and His Word never fails. So, when each of these events occur, remember that incredible promise.

Proverbs 6:6-8
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.

Now’s a great time to watch the ants. They move with purpose, carrying bits of food many times their size. Yet no one is standing over them giving instructions, but they instinctively know that summer is the time to gather and prepare for what lies ahead. What is God telling you to do in this season?

Psalm 74:17
It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth; you made both summer and winter.

There are laws in nature. Gravity is one of them. What goes up must come down. The tides rise and fall. The sun rises and sets. God created the world with order and purpose. He also established the seasons. And He won’t allow those seasons to last forever. Each one has its place because God designed it that way.

Proverbs 10:5
He who gathers crops in summer is a prudent son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.

Farmers know that some seasons are more productive than others. Summer is one of those seasons. It’s the best time to work the fields, plant the seeds, pull the weeds, and do everything possible to prepare for the harvest to come. Is there something you need to plant today?

Mark 13:28
Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near.

Jesus wanted to make sure His followers knew how to recognize His return, so He used an illustration they would understand. When winter is ending, tiny buds appear on the branches. And while those buds don’t cause summer to come, they do reveal that it’s getting close. In the same way, Jesus’ return would include signs that wouldn’t cause Him to return, but would reveal it was close at hand.

Exodus 15:11
Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?

God knows that songs have a way of settling deep into our hearts. That’s why, after He rescued the Israelites from Egypt and parted the Red Sea, Moses led the people in a song of praise. It was a way for His people to remember who He was and what He’d done for them.

Acts 2:22
Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know.

On the day of Pentecost, in front of a very large crowd the same Peter that denied Jesus just weeks earlier, stood in boldness and proclaimed that Jesus was the Messiah. And the response was incredible. About 3,000 people repented, believed, and were baptized that day!

Psalm 105:5
Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered.

It’s good to remember. Especially when life gets difficult and God feels silent, we need to look back and remember His faithfulness. That’s exactly what this psalmist did. In the middle of his distress, he chose to remember God’s mighty deeds from the past so He could trust Him with his present.
