A devotional for today

Today’s readings

Solomon dedicates the Temple, fire falls, and God’s glory fills it. God promises to hear humble, repentant people.

Paul cries over the conflict within himself, then announces the answer: Jesus Christ. Romans 8 opens with no condemnation for those in Christ.

God is the rock, fortress, and rescuer.

Correction can awaken wisdom; laziness wastes opportunity.

“Who will rescue me?” Paul asks. The answer is Jesus. Religion can name the problem; Christ delivers the sinner and removes condemnation.

Do I live as though Jesus forgave me, or do I keep sentencing myself?

What is the difference between conviction and condemnation?

Jesus, thank You that there is no condemnation for those who belong to You. Lead me by Your Spirit. Amen.

Reject condemnation. Confess sin, receive grace, and keep walking.
