“This is why you must stay alert: because no one knows the day your Lord will come.” [ Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭42‬ ‭TPT‬‬ ]

If anyone knew the exact hour a thief would break into their home, no house would ever be robbed. But because they do not know, they stay awake, they stay watchful. That is why many homes install the most advanced security systems—electric fences, CCTV cameras, alarms, and all kinds of sophisticated devices. When you are uncertain about whensomething will happen, wisdom demands that you stay prepared and alert. In the same way, there are countless reasons for us to stay spiritually alert in the world today. Beyond the clear signs of the Lord’s season of visitation, there is a greater danger—the subtle but deadly distractions of this age. The pleasures that charm, the deceitfulness that blinds, the glittering illusions that promise everything but deliver nothing. Everything the world parades before us is but a shadow; the true substance, the eternal reality, is found only in Christ. This is why we must stay awake. God’s Word is true. Jesus will return—this time not as the Lamb, but as the righteous Judge of the living and the dead. And if we are to be ready for His appearing, we must rise above the noise, the temptations, and the entanglements of this world. We must anchor our lives on the sure, unshakable Word of God. Stay alert. Stay ready. For the One who promised is faithful, and the day of His coming will not delay.

Prayer_Bead: Father thank you for the surety of your word. Help me to be alert as I await your second coming. 

Wisdom_Quote: The best way to prepare for an unknown visitation is to stay alert.

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: [ Romans 8:3 KJV ]

The law, in itself, is never weak. It carries no frailty, no deficiency, and no flaw. But the moment the law has to pass through the vessel of human flesh, it appears weakened—not because the law has changed, but because the flesh cannot carry the weight of its demands. What empowers the law is not found in the flesh, especially not in sinful flesh. And this is why the law loses its force when the flesh is the agent attempting to fulfil it. Yes, God gave the law to the flesh, but never to sinful flesh, for sinful flesh actually awakens the very power of the law to work against it. So what did God do? In order to vindicate the law and reveal its true strength, God sent His Son in the likeness of sinful flesh. Jesus came looking like the very thing the law was designed to confront, so that the full weight of the law would fall on Him—and He would rise above it. The law is designed to guide humanity, but condemn sinful flesh so it naturally gravitates toward anything that bears the marks of humanity. When Jesus stepped onto the scene, He looked like one the law could condemn—sinful flesh. But instead, He conquered the flesh, fulfilled the law, and unveiled its true power. This is why Jesus declared that He did not come to destroy the law but to fulfil it—to show what the law can accomplish when sin is subdued. In Christ, God demonstrated what the law was always capable of in the absence of sin’s corruption. Jesus condemned sin in the flesh so that we, through Him, might live out the righteousness the law was meant to express. Remember: the law was given to Adam before he sinned. So, the law was never meant to rescue a man out of sin—it was meant to display the splendour, the dignity, the beauty of righteousness.

Prayer_Bead: Father, I submit to the life of God so that I can live according to your holy laws. 

Wisdom_Quote: The law in Christ Jesus reveals the righteousness of God.

I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, [ John 10:14 NIV ]

A good shepherd is never confused about which sheep belong to him. No matter how many they are, and no matter how many other flocks they mingle with while grazing, he can still point out his own with precision. This skill protects his sheep from being lost, stolen, or swallowed up in another herd. But there is another side to this knowing: the sheep also know their shepherd. They recognize his voice, his rhythm, his presence. So when he calls, they respond—not out of fear, but out of familiarity. They will not follow a stranger, because they know who truly owns them, leads them, and loves them. This is the image our Lord Jesus chooses for Himself. He does not merely call Himself a shepherd—He calls Himself the Good Shepherd. The One who knows His sheep intimately, and the One whose sheep know Him in return. Jesus is deeply familiar with us—our weaknesses, our fears, our hidden wounds, our unspoken needs. He knows us so thoroughly that He can provide for us before the need even arises. But the question remains: Do we know Him that well too? Do we recognize His voice above the noise of the world? Do we know Him enough to love Him, trust Him, and live for Him? The Good Shepherd knows His own. But His own must also know Him.

Prayer_Bead: Shepherd of my soul, thank you for knowing me and loving me. Help me to know and obey you. 

Wisdom_Quote: The voice of a good shepherd is not strange in the ears of his sheep.

His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he [Jesus] tells you.” [ John 2:5 NIV ]

“Do whatever He tells you” is the instruction upon which the entire relationship between mortals and the Immortal is hinged. It is the doorway through which the power of God enters an ordinary life. If God tells you to carry an umbrella on a cloudless day, don’t go consulting the meteorologist. Don’t check the forecast. Don’t cross-examine the logic. Simply obey. Because even if every weather expert declares, “No rain today,” yet God whispers, “Take your umbrella,” then you must prepare for a downpour. His words are never empty; His instructions are never without purpose. But in our age—overflowing with information, options, and endless avenues to “figure things out”—our hearts have grown dull toward divine direction. These alternative sources of knowledge often make God’s voice seem outdated, unreasonable, or even absurd. Just ask the servants at the wedding in Cana in John 2. When Jesus told them to fill purification water pots, it made no sense. It broke protocol. It was illogical. But thank God that a prior instruction had already shaped their attitude: “Whatever He tells you to do, do it.” Because they obeyed what seemed absurd, they witnessed what became miraculous. In our walk with God, we must cultivate that same posture—intentional, willing, and ready to obey without hesitation. He sees the end from the beginning; He understands the hidden paths we cannot trace. His instructions are not guesses but guidance from perfect knowledge. Let your life tell the story of a person who obeys God. Let your journey bear the marks, even the reproaches, that come with obedience. For those marks become testimonies. And every act of obedience becomes a doorway through which God reveals His glory.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for your guidance and leadership in my life. Help me to continue to obey you in all things. 

Wisdom_Quote: The true trail of a believer’s walk with God is made with the ink of obedience.

So Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on a pole. And if a serpent bit anyone, he would look at the bronze serpent and live. [ Numbers 21:9 NIV ]

There is power in the cross—power unmatched, and utterly transformative. The cross represents the highest sacrifice imaginable: the giving of one’s own, only, deeply beloved Son. It is also the place where a legal transaction occurred, where a debt too heavy for humanity to carry was paid in full. When Jesus went to the cross, He did not merely suffer; He stepped into our place. He embodied our punishment, bore our guilt, and carried the weight of every charge that stood against us. Legally and spiritually, a divine cancellation took place. This is why Colossians 2:14 declares that our trespasses were forgiven “by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.”So when we look at the cross, we are not seeing shame—we are seeing settlement. We see a debt stamped PAID IN FULL. We see our freedom hanging where our guilt once stood. The cross is the reminder that nothing is left outstanding against us. This is why those who look to Jesus find that the sting of death is broken and the power of this world loses its grip. In the wilderness, when the Israelites were bitten by serpents, all they had to do was look upon the bronze serpent lifted up on the pole—and they lived. That moment was only a shadow, a dim prophetic whisper of a greater reality to come. And now, in the New Testament, that shadow stands fulfilled. Christ has been lifted up, not as a symbol of judgement alone but as the source of life. And everyone who looks to Him—truly looks—lives.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for the privilege to walk in the freedom that Jesus has made available for me. 

Wisdom_Quote: There is power in the cross to set free.
