TODAY’S TURNING POINT WITH DR. DAVID JEREMIAH 28TH MAY 2025 DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE
Read David Jeremiah 28 May 2025 Daily Devotional Wednesday Turning Point Devotional Message
TOPIC: Honor And Obey
[The Bereans] were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so. Acts 17:11
RECOMMENDED READING
Nehemiah 8:1-9
Many churches have a tradition of standing as a congregation when the Word of God is read during the Sunday worship service. This practice may be based on Nehemiah 8 when Ezra the priest read God’s Word to the assembled crowd of Israelites in Jerusalem: “And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was standing above all the people; and when he opened it, all the people stood up” (verse 5).
The people standing for the Word of God signified two things. First, it was an act of honor. The people had returned to Jerusalem after seventy years of exile in Babylon, and they honored God by honoring His Word (verse 6). Second, it signified their willingness and readiness to shape their lives and practices around God’s will for them. Their actions foreshadowed the actions of Paul’s Jewish audience in the Berean synagogue as they searched the Scriptures to verify what Paul was teaching them.
When you read the Word of God, do so with honor and a readiness to obey.
TURNING POINT
