  • The Blessing of Abraham

    The Spirit Given Through the Curse-Bearing Christ “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us— for it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree’—in order that the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so…

  • Protected — Safe in the Strong Name of the Lord

    Day 4: Names carry weight. In the ancient world, a name was more than a label—it revealed identity, character, reputation, and even power. So when Scripture declares that “the name of the Lord is a strong fortress,” it is proclaiming something deeply theological and deeply personal. It’s not merely saying…

  • Protected — Lifted High on the Rock

    Day 3: David knew trouble. He was not writing from a peaceful retirement but from a life marked by betrayal, warfare, personal failure, and the unrelenting opposition of enemies. And yet, it is in this pressure that he declares the character of God: the Lord conceals, hides, and lifts. In…

  • Protected — Resting in the Shadow of the Almighty

    Day 2: Psalm 91 opens with one of the most treasured images in all of Scripture: the soul that dwells in the shelter of the Most High finds rest—not tension, not striving, but rest—in His shadow. The picture here is one of complete dependence and deliberate nearness. The shadow of…

  • Protected — Hidden in the Grace of God

    Day 1: Take time today to reflect on what you’re tempted to run to when life becomes overwhelming. Instead of fleeing to distractions, perfectionism, or isolation, make God your first refuge. Confess, draw near, and rest in the truth that Christ is your covering. You are not merely forgiven—you are…

  • Day 8: In Practice, A Christ Lover

    At the heart of the Christian life is love—love not merely as a feeling, but as a way of life. To be a Christian is to love Christ, not in word only, but in practice. Jesus made it clear: those who love Him will keep His commandments. Love for Christ…

  • Day 7: In Hope, A Promise Believer

    To be a Christian is to live by promise. We are not guided by sight or sustained by circumstances—we are anchored in the unshakable Word of God. Like Abraham, we are promise believers. We hold fast to what God has said, even when we do not yet see its fulfillment.…

  • Day 6: In Experience, A Pilgrim

    To be a Christian is to be a pilgrim—one who walks through this world with a heart set on another. This life, with all its joys and trials, is not our final home. Like Abraham, like Moses, like the faithful of every age, we journey forward with eyes of faith,…

  • Day 5: In Conflict, A Soldier

    To be a Christian is to be engaged in a spiritual conflict. We are not spectators—we are soldiers. When we came to Christ, we enlisted in a holy war—not with flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the lies of the enemy, and against the lingering desires of…
