Today’s Scripture

We are reborn into a perfect inheritance that can never perish, never be defiled, and never diminish. It is promised and preserved forever in the heavenly realm for you! Through our faith, the mighty power of God constantly guards us until our full salvation is ready to be revealed in the last time. May the thought of this cause you to jump for joy, even though lately you’ve had to put up with the grief of many trials. But these only reveal the sterling core of your faith, which is far more valuable than gold that perishes, for even gold is refined by fire. Your authentic faith will result in even more praise, glory, and honor when Jesus the Anointed One is revealed. You love him passionately although you did not see him, but through believing in him you are saturated with an ecstatic joy, indescribably sublime and immersed in glory. For you are reaping the harvest of your faith—the full salvation promised you—your souls’ victory!

1 Peter 1:4-9

Today’s Thought

Your faith has produced a constant guard against everything that comes against you in life… When your faith is tried, your guard is tested…. Faith’s harvest is found in finishing your race…

Today’s Confession

Thank you, Lord, for continuing to help my faith produce a constant guard against everything that comes against me. Help me to finish my race, receive faith’s harvest, and overcome anything that comes to try my faith.
