Old Testament
Old Testament God exposes Judah’s sin and teaches Jeremiah through the potter: the Lord has authority over the clay, yet His warnings invite repentance. The people resist the message and plot against the messenger. New Testament Paul calls believers to holiness, brotherly love, responsible living, and hope concerning those who have died in Christ. Jesus will return, so His people are to live awake rather than spiritually asleep. Psalm God remembers how He delivered His people and laments that they would not listen. Proverb Humility is wiser than self-promotion, especially before those in authority. Discover Jesus The Potter has rightful authority over us, but His purpose is not arbitrary cruelty. In Jesus, God calls and remakes a people for holiness, hope, and readiness for the returning King. Reflect Am I spiritually awake and living as someone who expects Jesus to return? Fellowship Share one truth from today’s reading that helps you see Jesus more clearly. Ask how that truth should change the way you live today.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, keep my heart open to Your Word. Help me trust You, obey You, and reflect Your character today. Amen.
