God’s righteousness 

[The Glory Unveiled]

“Lay aside your simple thoughts and leave your paths behind. Agree with my ways, live in my truth, and you will find righteousness.”” [ Proverbs‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬ ‭TPT‬‬ ]

In this life, whenever we want to find something more clearly and more easily, there is always one simple principle: we must leave behind whatever hinders our ability to recognize that thing. Once the obstacle is removed, clarity comes. What we seek becomes visible. For the believer, righteousness is that pursuit. It is our destination, the priceless jewel we are searching for, and ultimately the identity we are meant to discover. Yet throughout history, many have tried countless methods to attain righteousness—through effort, through striving, through their own understanding. But here, God shows us a different way. He reveals that the issue is not the absence of righteousness, but the presence of limitations—our old ways of thinking, our former paths, our own definitions of truth. The thoughts we cling to can quietly block our ability to align with God and recognize His righteousness when it stands before us. To find the righteousness of God, we must first agree with God. We must accept His ways and live within His truth. Because unless we agree with His ways, we cannot recognize His truth—and it is His truth that opens the door to righteousness. This is why we are called to leave our own ways behind. Not to improve them, but to surrender them. To follow God’s ways is to step into His truth. And once we are living in His truth, righteousness is no longer something we chase. It is no longer something we strive to attain. It becomes our natural life.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for the privilege to live as the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

A time to sow

[The Glory Unveiled]

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. [ Galatians 6:7 KJV ]

We must be careful about the kind of seeds we sow, especially at the beginning of a new year or as we step into a new season. Seedtime and harvest are inseparably connected—what we sow is exactly what we will reap. Because of this, we cannot afford to sow carelessly. In due time, a harvest will come, and it will reveal the nature of the seeds we planted, whether or not we considered the outcome. What is planted will grow, and what grows will be reaped. So let us not be deceived: whatever a person sows, that is what they will reap in due season. No one sows weeds and expects wheat. No one plants rice and anticipates grass. This is a principle God embedded into His creation, and because it comes from Him, it cannot be mocked or bypassed. What God put in place is what we experience. No one can truthfully say they sowed one thing and reaped another. This is why the man with one talent, who refused to invest it, received nothing more in return. He harvested exactly what he sowed. After many years, all he had to show was what he originally buried. The harvest simply revealed the seed. So choose your seeds carefully, because the ground is faithful, time is relentless, and the harvest is inevitable.

Prayer_Bead: Incredible God, thank you for your order. As I sow faithfully, I appreciate you for the bountiful harvest.

New year or new life?

[The Glory Unveiled]

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. [ 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV ]

New years are often marked by celebrations, declarations, and resolutions. We cross over at midnight and assume that because the calendar has changed, life has changed too. But the truth is this: life does not become new simply because we entered a new year and wished the old one away.Newness does not work like that. The kind of newness that unlocks every other new beginning is not seasonal—it is positional. It does not come by wishes, affirmations, or desire alone. It comes by conscious choice. When a person chooses Jesus—when they believe in His finished work and stand in the provision secured by that work—then, and only then, the old truly passes away and the new comes to stay. Scripture declares that if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. This new creation is not a metaphor; it is a spiritual reality. In Christ, we are recreated after His image, and the very life of Jesus is expressed through the man or woman who comes into Him. The old does not pass away because we crossed into a new year. It passes away because we are positioned in Christ. Without Christ, a new year is only a new date—not a new life. You may enter January 1st, but if you are not in Christ, you have not entered newness. Jesus is the mechanic of newness. He alone has the power to replace the old with the new. Welcome Him into your life, stand in what He has finished, and you will experience a newness that no calendar change can produce—and no season can take away.

Prayer_Bead: Lord Jesus, thank you for your life in me that has made me a new creation and 

Wisdom_Quote: Newness does not happen because you entered a new year but because you entered Christ.

Stand firm

[The Glory Unveiled]

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. [ Galatians 5:1 KJV ]

The Lord Jesus purchased our freedom by paying the full and final price. Through His sacrifice, He handed us the legal proof of our release. We are no longer slaves to the law that once condemned us; its hold over us has been broken by the cross. Yet here is the sober truth: freedom must be guarded. Like a precious jewel, it can be mishandled, neglected, or even lost if it is not protected. This is why Scripture urges us to stand firm in the freedom Christ has secured for us. To stand firm means to resist every attempt—whether from the pressures around us or the desires within us—that seeks to drag us back into the bondage from which we were delivered. Do not allow yourself to be entangled again with a yoke of slavery after Jesus has paid so dearly for your release. Christ has done His part fully and perfectly. Our responsibility now is to maintain what He has secured. We are called to stand our ground, to guard our liberty, and to refuse every invitation to return to chains we no longer belong to. So stand firm in the freedom you have received. Do not lose what was purchased for you at such a great cost. Hold fast to your liberty—and live as one who is truly free.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for the privilege to be set free from the yoke of bondage. 

Wisdom_Quote: Freedom came through Jesus, but living in freedom requires our compliance.

The believer’s lifeline

[The Glory Unveiled]

And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; [ Luke 18:1 KJV ]

Prayer is the believer’s lifeline. As long as we remain human, prayer is not optional. There is no bargaining table here, no room for negotiation, and no substitute that can take its place. Heaven has already rendered its verdict: men ought always to pray and not lose heart. Everything else was considered when this command was issued—our weakness, our pressures, our distractions, and our limitations. And still, the conclusion stood. Prayer is not an accessory to the Christian life; it is its oxygen. To stop praying is not to rest—it is to suffocate. We are called to live connected, twenty-four seven, to the economy of heaven. And there is only one power line that carries that supply into our lives: prayer. If the connection is interrupted, the flow is disrupted. And because our survival depends on uninterrupted access, we cannot afford prayerless moments. In this world, prayer is not a luxury for spiritual seasons; it is a necessity for daily survival. You see, humanity was never designed to function independently of God. From the beginning, we were created to live in total dependence on Him. We were not built to thrive outside His presence. And so God, in His wisdom and mercy, established a perpetual mechanism by which we remain connected to Him. That mechanism is prayer. Whenever prayer ceases, connection weakens. And when connection is lost, life begins to drain. This is why Scripture urges us not to lose heart, not to faint, not to give up. To stop praying is to unplug from our life source. But to keep praying is to remain tethered to the Father, sustained by His life, His strength, and His supply. So we pray—not because it is convenient, but because it is vital. We pray—not because we have spare time, but because we need divine life. We pray—so we remain connected, alive, and sustained in God.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for the mechanism of prayer you designed for me to remain connected to you. Help me to always pray without getting discouraged. 

Wisdom_Quote: Prayer is the believer’s access to their life source.

Appearances of Evil

[The Glory Unveiled]

“Abstain from all appearance of evil.”
‭‭[ 1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭22‬ ‭KJV‬‬ ]

We live in a world saturated with evil and ungodliness, and in these times the line between good and evil is growing dangerously thin. The boundaries are blurred, so much so that evil often dresses itself in the clothing of good. This is why Scripture does not only warn us to flee from evil itself, but to abstain from every appearance of evil. Evil no longer announces itself loudly. It now appears beautiful, friendly, familiar, amusing, and harmless. It comes smiling, relatable, and interesting—so that by the time it lures you in, you do not realize what it is until the damage is already done. The appearances of evil are close to us; they feel normal, comfortable, and familiar. And because they feel close, we easily compromise. In our day, the appearances of evil look good and seem harmless. And so, when they finally lead us into destruction, we follow without resistance—like sheep to the slaughter. Not because we intended to rebel, but because we failed to discern. This is why we are admonished today: abstain from every appearance of evil. And the only way to recognize that we are tolerating an appearance of evil is to know the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God. Our senses must be trained and sharpened by God’s Word and His ways. When our discernment is formed by truth, every disguised form of evil is exposed. Then, no matter how attractive or familiar it appears, it will be revealed for what it truly is.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for reminding me to abstain from all appearances of evil. Help me to detect and avoid them in Jesus name. 

Wisdom_Quote: Whatever wears the face of evil is born of evil and will always deliver evil’s consequences.
