Old Testament

Judah makes false alliances and refuses God's quiet way of trust. Yet God lays a sure cornerstone in Zion that will not fail.

New Testament

Paul says the law served as a guardian until Christ. In Jesus, believers become God's children and heirs rather than slaves.

Psalm

Wait quietly before God; power and faithful love belong to Him.

Proverb

Wisdom warns against drunkenness, gluttony, and habits that slowly impoverish life.

Discover

Isaiah's cornerstone and Paul's Son come together in Jesus. He is the sure foundation, and through Him slaves become sons and daughters who can call God Father.

Reflect

What false security am I tempted to trust instead of Christ?

Fellowship

How should knowing we are God's children change the way we live?

Prayer

Father, thank You for making me Your child through Jesus. Keep my feet on Christ, the sure foundation. Amen.

Live

Refuse one false security and deliberately rest your confidence in Jesus.
