Day 055: “My Father Was a Rabbi, and His Father Before Him…” (Numbers 3-4)
In a Jerusalem hotel elevator, a rabbi told me he never “answered a call” to ministry — it was simply who he was, son of a rabbi, grandson of a rabbi. Numbers 3–4 reminds us that for the Levites, serving the Lord wasn’t just a job; it was their family identity. What if we made…

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.

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.

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.
