Judah’s royal line is preserved through Joash, and the Temple is repaired. God protects the line of promise even through political violence and spiritual decline.

New Testament

Paul works and teaches in Corinth despite opposition. Jesus assures him not to be afraid but to keep speaking because God has people in the city.

Psalm

Generation after generation is called to tell of God’s greatness, compassion, and kingdom.

Proverb

Isolation can feed selfish desire; we were made for wise community.

Discover

Joash repairs the Temple; Paul keeps building Christ’s church through the Word. Jesus tells His servant not to be silent.

Reflect

Where is Jesus telling me, 'Do not be afraid; keep speaking'?

Fellowship

Share one place in today’s reading where you saw Jesus more clearly. Then discuss the reflection question together.

Prayer

Lord Jesus, keep my eyes on You and shape my life by Your Word. Holy Spirit, give me grace to trust, obey, and follow You today. Amen.

Live

Say one truthful, gracious word about Jesus instead of remaining silent. Lord Jesus, help me not only to know Your Word but to live it. Transform my heart so that my life reflects You more each day.
