A Preview of Today’s Journey in the Word
As the Day Begins: “The Kind of Knowledge That Loves” (1 Corinthians 8:1–3)
We began the day reflecting on how love—not knowledge—builds up the body of Christ. Knowledge without love can inflate our pride, but love grounds us in God’s grace and reveals that we are truly known by Him.
A Day in the Life of Jesus: “When Family Isn’t Just Blood” (Mark 3:31–35)
Jesus redefined what it means to belong by placing obedience to God above biology. In this meditation, we explore how the family of God is formed not by bloodlines but by spiritual commitment, and how that truth brings belonging to all.
Thru the Bible in a Year: “Kings, Chaos, and Compromise” (2 Kings 15–16)
Today’s Bible reading led us through a turbulent period in Israel and Judah’s history. We examined how godless leadership fueled national collapse, and how spiritual compromise slowly dismantles even the strongest foundations.
Life Lessons Learned: “What Do You Mean, Nineteenth?” (Psalm 130)
This devotional offers grace to the weary heart that keeps returning to God with the same sin. Through Psalm 130 and the wisdom of Donald Grey Barnhouse, we’re reminded that God does not count our failures—He cancels them in love.
As the Day Ends: “Better with Less, When God is More” (Proverbs 15:16–17)
We end the day by resting in the wisdom that a little, when accompanied by reverence for the Lord and love at the table, is far richer than great wealth surrounded by strife. Contentment isn’t found in things—it’s found in God.
Thank you for taking the time today to study the Word and follow the Lord through each of these spiritual disciplines. Your commitment to walking closely with Him each day is a testimony of faith that honors His name.
