Monday Morning Devotion 8.4.25

Mr. Spurgeon makes note that for the believer ironically the hardest times to trust and praise God is when things are well. Christians must remember the fullness we receive in our Lord at all times.

Today in our devotion from Bethany ARP we looked at Hebrews 11:1-3. The author of Hebrews expands on what faith is and how it’s foundation in the word of God is the bulwark we need to ward off the temptations toward apostasy.

Our word for today was “Synod”. In Acts 15 the Apostles and Elders gathered at Jerusalem to figure out how to handle an issue in the church. Men still do this, and in the ARP our annual gathering is called a “Synod”. We helpfully define that for you and explain a little bit of the context.

For our Monday devotion from Bethany ARP we took a look at Ezra 5:1-2 as we see an example of how God supports His people in days of frustration and trial as the temple of the heart is built up in faith.

Today for our Monday devotion from Bethany ARP we looked at the Parable of the Ten Minas from Luke 19 as we heard how we are to approach the gifts the Lord provides and how we are to be active in His kingdom.

For our Monday devotion from Bethany ARP we took another look at Ezra 1:5-11 as we examined further how this portion of God’s Word enriches our understanding of His grace.
