Read them daily, for they are your spiritual nourishment. Just as the body needs physical food to grow strong and stay healthy, your soul craves the wisdom, truth, and guidance that come from God’s Word. Scripture is not meant to be read occasionally or merely admired—it is to be taken in regularly, feeding your spirit with life, clarity, and strength.
Each verse offers insight, each promise revives hope, and each command draws you closer to the heart of the Divine. When you make reading God’s Word a daily habit, you’ll find your perspective shifting, your faith deepening, and your path made clearer—even in times of confusion.
Let the Word dwell richly in you, for in it is the nourishment that sustains eternal life.
“A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any.So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard,
‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any.Cut it down!Why should it use up the soil?’
‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it.If it bears fruit next year, fine!If not, then cut it down!’”
Jesus told His disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.He said:
“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought.And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea,
‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’
For some time he refused.But finally he said to himself,
‘Even thought I don’t fear God or care what people think, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’
And the Lord said,
‘Listen to what the unjust judge says.And will not God bring about justice for His chosen ones, who cry out to Him day and night?Will He keep putting them off?I tell you, He will see that they get justice, and quickly.However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?’”
A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that He had come home.They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and He preached the word to them.Some men came, bringing to Him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them.Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on.
When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralyzed man,
“Son, your sins are forgiven.”
Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves,
“Why does this fellow talk like that?He’s blaspheming!Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
Immediately Jesus knew in His spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and He said to them,
“Why are you thinking these things?”Which is easier:to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up take your mat and walk?’But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.”
So, He said to the man,
“I tell you, get up, take your mat, and go home.”
He got up, took his mat, and walked out in full view of them all.This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying,
After Jesus left Jerusalem, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to Him, crying out,
“Lord Son of David, have mercy on me!My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”
Jesus did not answer a word.So His disciples came to Him and urged Him,
“Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
So Jesus answered the woman,
“I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”
The woman came and knelt before Him.
“Lord, help me!”She said.
Jesus replied,
“It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
“Yes, it is, Lord,”she said.“Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
Then Jesus said to her,
“Woman, you have great faith!Your request is granted.”
And her daughter was healed at that moment.
God, in His infinite mercy, humbled Himself and took on human form. The Father named His Son Jesus, fulfilling the divine plan of redemption. Why did Jesus come to Israel? Because of the covenant God made with Abraham—a sacred promise that through his descendants, all nations would be blessed.
By the time Jesus arrived, the prophetic voice had grown silent. No prophets remained to proclaim God’s message. So, in the fullness of time, Jesus came to earth as a Jew, born into the very nation chosen to carry the promise. Israel was under the oppressive rule of Rome, just as prophecy had foretold. The people were desperate for a Messiah—a deliverer who would rescue them from tyranny and restore their national sovereignty.
Yet, they did not expect the Messiah to come in humility. Instead of descending in majesty and power, Jesus came as a carpenter, born in a lowly manger, walking among the poor, the sick, and the outcast. This shattered their expectations. Many in Israel could not accept a Savior who lacked political clout or military strength. They longed for a king who would overthrow their enemies and break Rome’s iron grip—not one who preached love, forgiveness, and a kingdom that was not of this world.
Jesus devoted His time to healing the sick and preaching the gospel throughout Israel. Though many heard His words, not all understood His mission. The crowds often missed the deeper message of repentance and faith. At one point, Jesus traveled as far as Lebanon with His disciples—a journey with divine purpose. During this time, the Jewish people were scattered across regions due to Roman rule, and God's plan extended beyond borders.
In that region lived a Canaanite woman who had heard of Jesus and witnessed the miracles He performed. Her daughter was tormented by demons, and though she was not part of Israel, she quietly held onto hope. When the opportunity came and she saw Jesus, she cried out with desperation and faith, pleading for His mercy.
As the story in Scripture recounts, she reasoned with Jesus through tears, undeterred by cultural barriers or rejection. Her persistent belief moved Jesus. Though she was a Gentile—likely Palestinian by origin—her faith surpassed expectations. Jesus honored her request, healed her daughter, and she became a follower, transformed by grace.
When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before Him.
“Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said.
“He has seizures and is suffering greatly.He often falls into the fire or into the water.I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.”
“You unbelieving and perverse generation,’ Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you?Bring the boy here to me.”
Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment.
Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked,
“Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
He replied, “Because you have so little faith.Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move.Nothing will be impossible for you.’”
As Jesus and His disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed Him.Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted,
“Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”
The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder,
“Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”
Jesus stopped and called them.
“What do you want me to do for you?”He asked.
“Lord,” they answered, “we want our sight.”
Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes.Immediately they received their sight and followed Him.
