Day 314: Bible in One Year Devotion🙏
In Psalm 121, we find a deep assurance of God's unwavering protection. The psalmist lifts their eyes to the hills, seeking help from the Creator of heaven and earth. This passage reminds us that God watches over us, guarding us from harm, and ensuring our safety, both now and forevermore. His care is constant, and His endures through every season of life.
In Ezekiel 17, we see a parable of a great eagle representing God's judgment and sovereignty over the kingdoms of the earth. God desires righteousness, and Ezekiel 18 further emphasizes personal responsibility, showing that every soul is accountable for their own actions. God gives individuals the opportunity to turn from sin, offering forgiveness to those who repent and live according to His ways. This message of justice and mercy resonates with the promise that the righteous will live and the wicked will face the consequences of their actions.
Hebrews 9:16-28 draws us into the power of the new covenant through Christ’s sacrifice. It explains how Jesus' death was the fulfillment of God’s promise to humanity. His blood, unlike the blood of animals in the Old Testament sacrifices, truly cleanses us from all sin. Through His death, we receive not just temporary atonement but eternal redemption. This unbreakable covenant assures us of a new life in Christ, secured by His perfect sacrifice.
In all, today’s readings point to the protection, accountability, and eternal life that come from God. He watches over us, calls us to righteousness, and offers redemption through Christ.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for watching over me and protecting me from harm. Help me to walk in righteousness and to always seek Your ways. Thank You for the eternal redemption given through Jesus Christ. Strengthen me to live a life worthy of Your calling. In Jesus' name, Amen.
