Day 054: Fit to Fight (Numbers 1-2)
In Numbers 1, every man “able to go to war” was counted. Reading it, I wondered if I would have made the list. I’ve never fired a gun. But then verse 47 changes everything. The Levites weren’t numbered with the warriors — they were placed at the center, closest to God’s presence. Not all warriors…

Day 052: Was Jubilee Ever Observed? (Leviticus 25)
In Jesus, the true Jubilee has already begun—debts forgiven, captives released, the oppressed set free. We don’t have to wait fifty years for freedom. In Christ, the year of the Lord’s favor is now.
-
Day 051: A Festival for The Rest of Us (Leviticus 22-23)
The Feast of Booths was Israel’s reminder that they once lived as strangers—and God’s invitation for the nations to come and celebrate. Seventy bulls. Seventy nations. Wide booths with room for friends, family, and even outsiders. Sukkot teaches us to live lightly in this world and to make room for others in the one to…

Day 048: Two Gospel Characters that Ignored Leviticus, and Why It Was Ok (Leviticus 14-15)
Through the Bible: Leviticus 14-15

Day 043: The Weight of Glory (Exodus 40:35)
Like the crushing pressure at the bottom of the ocean, the fullness of His glory is more than we can presently bear. But one day, when He has finished His work in us, we will be able to enter those depths without being crushed.

Day 039: How Exodus 29 Foreshadows Communion
The priests were not just preparing a sacrifice; they were preparing a meal. They were commanded to eat the very flesh through which atonement had been made for them—a stunning foreshadowing of the Lord’s Supper.

Day 038: When “Close Enough” Isn’t Good Enough (Exodus 25-27)
Grace covers our failures, but it never excuses careless preparation. When God’s people prepared a place for His presence in the wilderness, they brought their very best—because they knew He was worth it.

Day 031: What if They Won’t Listen? (Exodus 4:1)
Through the Bible: Exodus 4-6

Day 029: A Grievous Mourning by the… Egyptians? (Genesis 50:7-11)
When Jacob’s sons returned to Canaan to bury their father, the people of the land assumed they were Egyptians. In less than a generation, God’s people had become indistinguishable from the culture around them—a quiet warning about how easily freedom can forget its true home.

Day 027: Silver in the Sack (Genesis 43:23)
Through the Bible: Genesis 43-45

Day 022: The Speckled Flock Before the Throne (Genesis 31:10-12)
Jacob’s flock was never uniform—striped and spotted, mottled and mismatched. And neither is the flock God is gathering for Himself. From scheming patriarchs to saints and sinners, from every tribe and tongue and nation, God is forming one people by one voice. What we glimpse imperfectly now, we will one day see clearly before the…

Day 021: The Despised and Rejected Bride (Genesis 29)
Leah never wanted to be the patron saint of the unloved. She was despised not because she was cruel or faithless, but because she was not someone else.
-
Day 019: Why the Oldest Saints Get the Toughest Tests (Gen. 22:1)
Genesis 22 reminds us that God’s hardest tests do not come at the beginning of faith, but after a lifetime of quiet obedience. Abraham’s willingness to offer Isaac was not a reckless act, but the fruit of decades of trust in God. The Lord does not test His people to make them fail, but to…

Day 018: Seeing the God Who Sees You (Genesis 16-18)
Hagar—an Egyptian slave, an outcast, a single mother—does something no one else in Scripture dares to do: she names God. She calls Him El-Roi, the God who sees her. And in that naming, we discover a God who not only sees the unseen, but who welcomes being known by them.

Day 017: Guys, We Need to Talk About Genesis 17:23
Are you willing to trust God with the deepest, most vulnerable part of you?

God Never Said… Everything Happens for a Reason (Romans 8:28-39)
When we talk about God’s will, we have to be careful not to flatten it into something simplistic. Scripture shows us that God commands some things, permits others, hates what is evil, and yet redeems what sin tries to destroy. Romans 8 will not allow us to say God is helpless, nor will it allow…

Day 036: Exodus 21 and the Value of Life Before Birth
Does Exodus 21 treat the unborn child as something less than a full life? A careful reading of this ancient case law—read as law, not as a slogan—shows how Scripture weighs harm, responsibility, and justice when violence endangers life before birth.

God Never Said… “I’ll Never Give You More than You Can Handle” (2 Corinthians 1:8-10)
The phrase “God will never give you more than you can handle” sounds comforting—but it isn’t true. Scripture tells a better story. Again and again, God’s people find themselves overwhelmed, exhausted, and at the end of their strength. Not because God has abandoned them, but because He is teaching them where real strength comes from.…
