For much of my life, the Holy Spirit felt distant—mysterious, misunderstood, and seemingly reserved for the pages of early church history. But as I’ve come to know the Spirit as the very breath of God, hovering over creation and actively shaping our spiritual lives today, I’ve discovered a tender, powerful presence that transforms striving into abiding.

Whether you’re squeamish or strong-stomached, Jesus’s words in John 6 are hard to swallow—literally and spiritually. But beneath the shock is a deeper truth: through His body and blood, Jesus offers us lasting nourishment, a new covenant, and eternal life.

Stories shape how we see the world—especially the ones with heroes and villains, truth and deception. In Luke 4, we see Jesus face the ultimate adversary, reminding us that even when lies surround us, God's Word is our strongest defense.

Classic films often used creativity over spectacle, revealing deeper truths through simple storytelling. In Daniel 4, we see how pride distorts our perspective—but God, in His mercy, restores us when we acknowledge His sovereignty and turn back to Him.

When my kids brought home a bone from a camping trip, I was reminded just how lifeless and unsettling something dead can feel. But in Ezekiel’s vision, God shows us that even the driest, most hopeless places can be revived by His Word and Spirit—because with God, death is never the end of the story.

Ever notice how the same story can sound different depending on who tells it? As we finish the Songs of Ascent, we reflect on Mount Moriah—where God has shown His provision, mercy, and glory—and consider how every step of the pilgrims’ journey pointed forward to Jesus, whether they realized it or not.

What helps you turn back to God when you've gone your own way? For David, repentance looked like building an altar—an act of costly worship and surrender—on none other than Mount Moriah, reminding pilgrims (and us) that God's mercy meets us when we humbly return to Him.

The Bible often speaks of building—of foundations that matter, of work that lasts, and of lives constructed with purpose for God's glory. As the pilgrims climbed toward Mount Moriah, where Solomon once built the temple, they were not just recalling a structure, but reflecting on what it means to build something lasting with God at the center.

We’ve seen Mount Moriah before—where Abraham, in faithful obedience, trusted God with everything, and where God provided in a way only He could. As the pilgrims sang the Songs of Ascent, they weren’t just climbing a mountain—they were remembering the stories of God’s faithfulness and trusting Him to do it again.

In a time when public failures of faith leaders can shake our trust, Peter’s final chapter reminds us of the kind of shepherds God calls—and the kind of followers we're meant to be. 1 Peter 5 invites both leaders and members to walk in humility, resist the enemy, and hold onto the living hope that anchors us all.

All throughout 1 Peter, we’re reminded of who we are: reborn into a living hope, called to something eternal, and made to live as foreigners in a world that won’t last. As we step into chapter 4, Peter invites us to face suffering not with fear, but with the confidence that—even in hardship—we're sharing in Christ’s story and drawing closer to the joy of His return.

Before any "how-to," Scripture always reminds us of the "who"—who God is, who we are in Him, and the grace we've received. In 1 Peter 3, we see a continued call to live out that identity wisely and faithfully—even within complex cultural systems—anchored not in fear or control, but in confident hope and holy influence.
