Old Testament
David shows covenant kindness to Mephibosheth, then later falls into adultery and arranges Uriah's death. Even the best
human king needs grace.
New Testament
Jesus calls Himself the true Vine. His disciples must abide in Him, love one another, and bear fruit.
Psalm
The psalmist finds comfort and hope in God's promises.
Proverb
Commit your work to the LORD; He weighs motives and establishes what is right.
Discover
David's kindness is real, but so is his sin. Jesus is the King without corruption, and apart from Him we can do nothing.
Reflect
Where am I trying to produce spiritual fruit without abiding in Jesus?
Fellowship
Share one practice that helps you remain close to Christ.
Prayer
True Vine, keep me in You. Prune what is false and grow Your love and fruit in my life. Amen.
Live
Spend ten quiet minutes with Jesus before doing for Jesus.
