Daily Reading: <\/strong>1 Kings 3:3-4:34 ESV<\/a>, Acts 6:1-15 ESV<\/a>, Psalm 126:1-6 ESV<\/a>, Proverbs 16:26-27 ESV<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily Verse: <\/strong>\u201cAnd the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied<\/em> greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith.\u201d (Acts 6:7 ESV<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PLETHUNO (4129): <\/strong>\u201cTo increase, abound, multiply.\u00a0 Used transitively, denotes \u201cto cause to increase, to multiply,\u201d \u201c(iniquity) shall abound\u201d intransitively it denotes \u201cto be multiplying,\u201d Acts 6:1, \u201cwas multiplied.\u201d[I]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shall abound.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When God gets involved, things multiply.  Allowing the good Lord\u2019s grace to fill your heart makes you more graceful and loving.  Becoming nicer multiplies your relationships; people want to surround themselves with people who make them feel loved and accepted.  Created for community, we all want to belong, with Jesus, everyone\u2019s welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily reading God\u2019s word will change your life.  Letting the scriptures take root in your heart will expose the darkness, allowing light to lead your way.  As you grow closer to Jesus, He will impact your life positively, helping you realize how much He values you.  God doesn\u2019t make junk; He makes treasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiply the treasure.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Share God\u2019s love with the world.  Accept God\u2019s promises as truth, then share them with everyone.  Watch in amazement as the good news spread and people begin to believe.  Overcome the heartache of this world with one act of love at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actions speak louder than words.  Jesus\u2019 activity spread His message the most.  Healing the blind man, raising Lazarus from the dead, and exercising demons had people gasping in astonishment.  Christ mastered the unexpected, never doing what people thought He would do.  And we shouldn\u2019t either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When persecuted, respond in love.  In life\u2019s imperfect moments, don\u2019t take out your problems on someone else.  Monitor your words; if they don\u2019t uplift and encourage, don\u2019t say them.   Become a multiplier by imitating Jesus and acting with love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
