A devotional for today

Today’s readings

Darkness and judgment surround Judah, yet Isaiah announces a great light and a coming Child whose rule will bring lasting peace.

Paul learns that Christ's grace is sufficient and that divine power is displayed through human weakness.

David brings betrayal, fear, and anguish to God instead of carrying them alone.

Do not wear yourself out chasing wealth; riches can disappear quickly.

The promised Child and Paul's sufficient Lord meet in Jesus. He is the Light in darkness, the King of peace, and the One

whose strength is enough when ours is not.

Where am I trying to be strong instead of receiving Christ's sufficient grace?

How can weakness become a place where Jesus is seen more clearly?

Lord Jesus, be my light in darkness and my strength in weakness. Your grace is enough. Amen.

Bring one weakness to Christ instead of hiding it.
