The Jesus Bible Reading Plan

DAY 19 OF 365

BLESSINGS OF FAITHFULNESS

This scene was eerily reminiscent of the sending of the spies in Numbers 13, except this time the result was more favorable. This time emissaries of the nation went throughout the promised land to map out the territory allotted to the seven tribes who had not yet received their land. There they saw the glorious inheritance that God would give to the nation. The land would testify to the faithfulness of God and demonstrate that he was continuing to accomplish his mission.

The church functions in the same way today. As believers gather in local churches around the world, they see a tangible picture of the grace of God. He is still at work, granting salvation to the lost and uniting them together into his family. Local churches, filled with believers, put the manifold wisdom of God on display for a watching world. The mystery of his grace, hidden for generations yet revealed in the person of Jesus, is evident for all to see (Eph 3:8 – 11). He is indeed faithful to bless his people, on earth and ultimately in heaven.

Jesus, please help me to shine within my local body of believers, so that others may be drawn to you. May your family grow in this community. Amen.
