Daily Bread for August 13

If a person is
angry with you, give him a
gift in secret. A gift that is given in secret can
stop great anger.
Fair judgment
makes good people happy.
But it makes evil people very afraid.
If a person
leaves the way of wisdom,
then he is going toward destruction.

Proverbs 21:14-16 (ERV)

Quick Thought:

Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend
a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit"; whereas you do not know what will
happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little
time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall
live and do this or that." James 4:13 (NKJ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark 13:14-20
"But when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not be
(let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
"And let him who is on the housetop not go down, or enter in, to get anything out
of his house; and let him who is in the field not turn back to get his cloak. But
woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babes in those days! But
pray that it may not happen in the winter.
"For those days will be a time of tribulation such as has not occurred since the
beginning of the creation which God created, until now, and never shall.

"And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no life would have been saved; but
for the sake of the elect whom He chose, He shortened the days." Mark 13:14-20 (NAS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John 7:43-53
So there arose a division in the multitude because of Him (because of Jesus). And
some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him.

The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to
them, "Why did you not bring Him?" The officers answered, "Never did a man speak
the way this man speaks."

The Pharisees therefore answered them, "You have not also been led astray, have
you? No one of the rulers or Pharisees has believed in Him, has he? But this multitude
which does not know the Law is accursed."

Nicodemus said to them (he who came to Him before, being one of them), "Our Law
does not judge a man, unless it first hears from him and knows what he is doing,
does it?" They answered and said to him, "You are not also from Galilee, are you?
Search, and see that no prophet arises out of Galilee." And everyone went to his
home. John 7:43-53 (NAS)

Dead to Sin but Alive in Christ
6 1So do you think that we should continue sinning so that God will give us more
and more grace (kindness)? 2No! We died to (quit living) our old sinful lives. So
how can we continue living with sin? 3Did you forget that all of us became part
of Christ Jesus when we were baptized*? We shared his death in our baptism.* 4So
when we were baptized, we were buried with Christ and shared his death. We were
buried with Christ so that we could [be raised up and] live a new life. This happened
the same as Christ was raised from death by the wonderful power of the Father. 5Christ
died, and we have been joined with Christ by dying too. So we will also be joined
with him by rising from death like Christ rose from death. 6We know that our old
life died with Christ on the cross. This happened so that our sinful selves would
have no power over us. And then we would not be slaves to sin. 7Any person that
has died is made free from sin's control (power). 8If we died with Christ, we know
that we will also live with him. 9Christ was raised from death. And we know that
he cannot die again. Death has no power over him now. 10Yes, when Christ died,
he died to [defeat the power of] sin one time--enough for all time. He now has a
new life, and his new life is with God. 11In the same way, you should see yourselves
as being dead to the power of sin. And see yourselves as being alive for God through
Christ Jesus. 12But don't let sin control you in your life here on earth. You must
not be ruled by the things your sinful self makes you want to do. 13Don't offer
the parts of your body to serve sin. Don't use your bodies as things to do evil
with. But you should offer yourselves to God. Be like people that have died and
now live. Offer the parts of your body to God to be used for doing good. 14Sin will
not be your master. Why? Because you are not under law. You now live under God's
grace (kindness).

Slaves of Righteousness
15So what should we do? Should we sin because we are under grace (kindness) and
not under law? No! 16Surely you know that when you give yourselves like slaves to
obey someone, then you are really slaves of that person. The person you obey is
your master. You can follow sin, or obey God. Sin brings spiritual death. But obeying
God makes you right with him. 17In the past you were slaves to sin--sin controlled
you. But thank God, you fully obeyed the things that were taught to you. 18You were
made free from sin. And now you are slaves to goodness (right living). 19I explain
this by using an example that people know. I explain it this way because it is hard
for you to understand. In the past you offered the parts of your body to be slaves
to sin and evil. You lived only for evil. In the same way now you must give yourselves
to be slaves of goodness. Then you will live only for God. 20In the past you were
slaves to sin, and goodness (right living) did not control you. 21You did evil things.
Now you are ashamed of those things. Did those things help you? No. Those things
only bring [spiritual] death. 22But now you are free from sin. You are now slaves
of God. And this brings you a life that is only for God. And from that you will
get life forever. 23When people sin, they earn what sin pays--death. But God gives
his people a free gift--life forever in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Footnote: baptized, baptism Greek words meaning to be immersed, dipped, or buried
briefly under water.

God is good. God
knows what evil people
are doing, and he will punish them.
If a person
refuses to help poor people, then
there will be no help for him when he needs it.

Quick Thought:

Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my mind and my heart. For Your lovingkindness
is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth. Psalm 26:2-3 (NKJ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark 13:9-13
"But be on your guard; for they will deliver you to the courts, and you will be
flogged in the synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for My
(Jesus') sake, as a testimony to them. And the gospel must first be preached to
all the nations.
"And when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not be anxious beforehand about
what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not
you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit.
"And brother will deliver brother to death, and a father his child; and children
will rise up against parents and have them put to death.
"And you will be hated by all on account of My name, but the one who endures to
the end, he shall be saved." Mark 13:9-13 (NAS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John 7:37-42
Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying,
"If any man is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as
the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water.'
"

But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive;
for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, were saying, "This
certainly is the Prophet."

Others were saying, "This is the Christ." Still others were saying, "Surely the
Christ is not going to come from Galilee, is He? Has not the Scripture said that
the Christ comes from the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where
David was?" John 7:37-42 (NAS)

Right With God
5 1We have been made right with God because of our faith. So we have peace with
God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2Through our faith, Christ has brought us into
that blessing of God's grace (kindness) that we now enjoy. And we are very happy
because of the hope we have of sharing God's glory. 3And we are also happy with
the troubles we have. Why are we happy with troubles? Because we know that these
troubles make us more patient. 4And this patience is proof that we are strong. And
this proof gives us hope. 5And this hope will never disappoint us--[it will never
fail]. Why? Because God has poured out his love to fill our hearts. God gave us
his love through the Holy Spirit.* That Holy Spirit was a gift to us from God. 6Christ
died for us while we were still weak people. We were living against God, but at
the right time, Christ died for us. 7Very few people will die to save the life of
another person, even if that other person is a good person. If the person is a very
good person, then someone might be willing to die for that person. 8But Christ died
for us while we were still sinners. In that way God showed us that he loves us very
much. 9We have been made right with God by Christ's blood (death). So through Christ
we will surely be saved from God's anger. 10I mean that while we were God's enemies,
God made friends with us through the death of his Son. So surely, now that we are
God's friends, God will save us through his Son's life. 11And not only will we be
saved, but we are also very happy now. We are happy in God through our Lord Jesus
Christ. It is because of Jesus that we are now God's friends.

Adam and Christ
12Sin came into the world because of what one man (Adam) did. And with sin came
death. So this is why all people must die--because all people sinned. 13Sin was
in the world before the law [of Moses]. But God does not make people guilty for
sin if there is no law. 14But from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, all people
had to die. Adam died because he sinned by not obeying God's command. But even those
people that did not sin the way Adam sinned had to die. Adam was like the One (Christ)
who was coming in the future. 15But God's free gift is not like Adam's sin. Many
people died because of the sin of that one man (Adam). But the grace (kindness)
that people received from God was much greater. Many people received God's gift
[of life] by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ. 16After Adam sinned once,
he was judged guilty. But the gift of God is different. God's free gift came after
many sins. And the gift makes people right with God. 17One man sinned, and so death
ruled all people because of that one man. But now some people accept God's full
grace (kindness) and his great gift of being made right. Surely those people will
have true life and rule through the one man, Jesus Christ. 18So one sin [of Adam]
brought the punishment [of death] to all people. But in the same way, one good thing
[that Christ did] makes all people right with God. And that brings true life for
those people. 19One man (Adam) disobeyed God and many people became sinners. But
in the same way, one man (Christ) obeyed God and many people will be made right.
20The law came to make people have more sin. But when people had more sin, God
gave them more of his grace (kindness). 21Sin once used death to rule us. But God
gave people more of his grace so that grace could rule by making people right with
him. This brings life forever through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Footnotes: Spirit, Holy Spirit Also called the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Christ,
and the Comforter. Joined with God and Christ, He does God's work among people in
the world.

Evil people
always want to do more evil.
And those people show no mercy to people
around them.
Punish the person
who makes fun of God
and foolish people will learn a lesson. They
will become wise. And then they will gain
more and more knowledge.
