Today's Word
Draw near with confidence
Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.
- Hebrews 10:19–22
Never forget the immense blessing that Christ Jesus has given you. Because of His sacrifice on the cross, you can come directly before the Father with confidence, knowing that He hears you and delights in your presence. You don’t need any intermediary. You don’t need to schedule an appointment in advance. Day or night, His ear is attentive to your voice and your prayer. The Father loves to hear you, He longs to spend time with you. Will you approach Him with confidence today?
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
- Hebrews 4:16
Draw near to God today, talk to Him. It’s a wonderful privilege as His child, and He will not reject you. On the contrary, God’s heart rejoices when His children come to Him. Whatever the hour, God hears and responds. Speak with Him!

Jesus has arrived
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
- 2 Corinthians 5:17
George Müller spent his childhood and part of his youth far from God. The son of a tax collector, his goal in life was to make money in any way he could. He stole, lied, gambled, and took advantage of other people.
His father, worried about him, enrolled him in a prestigious school to study theology. George was happy because, in his view, this would allow him to become a pastor and earn easy money.
But God had other plans. George met a friend who invited him to a gathering in a house. There, George met committed Christians who loved God and lived according to His will. His life was transformed, and today George is known and remembered as a great Christian evangelist, founder of orphanages, and defender of the weak. Jesus came into his life and changed everything!
Do you know someone who seems like a lost cause? Don’t lose hope! Keep praying for that person, show them God’s love at all times, and invite them to fellowship with other believers. Pray to God to give you good ideas, because Jesus wants to reach their heart and transform their life.
You can be the friend, brother, neighbor, or acquaintance that God uses so that a hopeless life may receive salvation and impact the world. Ask God to use you to bring this generation closer to His kingdom. Be a precious instrument in the hands of the Lord!
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
- Romans 10:14–15

Day Before Yesterday's Word
My Hero
Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil.
- Hebrews 2:14
Jesus became fully human, just like us. By sharing in our humanity, He paid the price for your sins. More than that, through His human life, death, and resurrection, He defeated the devil himself. Jesus is the greatest Hero, and He lives forever! Be thankful that He died for you, rose again, and now reigns in sovereign power.
Give thanks to Him because He gave His life for you, rose from the dead, and now reigns over all. Never forget what Jesus did out of love for you, so that your sins could be forgiven and you could receive eternal life. It is through His finished work that you are saved. Praise Him with all your heart!
At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.
- Titus 3:3-7
