Daily Bread - May 4, 2026 (The Second Day - Genesis 1:6-8)
1 John 3:22 – And whatever we ask of Him, we receive, because we keep His commands and do what is pleasing in His sight.
Examples of Doing What Is Pleasing to God
There is no one who shines brighter as an example of a heart and conscience that pleased God than Job. Job said, “Far be it from me to say that you are right; till I die, I will not put away my integrity from me. I hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go; my heart does not reproach me for any of my days.” (Job 27:5-6).
We can walk with God in the most intimate fellowship and find ourselves surrounded by His glory and kept by His power. We have a cloud by day, a fire by night, a hedge of His glory and power, and the whole armor of God. If we are willing to surrender everything and walk in consecration to the ways of the Lord, He will always be before us, and on our right hand, that we should not be moved (Psalms 16:8; Acts 2:25: Deuteronomy 31:8; Matthew 28:20). Enoch walked with God and is a witness of how well man can please the Lord (Genesis 5:22-24; Hebrews 11:5; Jude 14-15). We, too, have the opportunity to know God, and as Enoch walked with God, let us walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16, 25; Romans 8:1, 4).
Blessings,
Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
