An Upward Look
A Daily Devotional Observation from God's Word
October 19
SCRIPTURE VERSE FOR TODAYJesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? (Matthew 21:42)
The Jews of Jesus’ day were busy building a religious empire, but they left out the most important building block, the cornerstone! Do we, like them, try to build, yet leave Jesus out of the plans? In Revelation 3 we find Jesus standing outside the church knocking on the door desiring an invitation to come in. Some churches today are so busy with their programs and plans, yet they have forgotten to include Jesus. In all your ways you should acknowledge Him. He should be first and foremost in all your plans. Not a step should be taken unless it is under His direction. Include Jesus in your life today and you will have a blessed day! ~
