Two men prayed in the temple. One listed his credentials. The other couldn't lift his eyes and asked only for mercy. Jesus said the second man went home justified, "for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted" (Luke 18:14). Deeply flawed and thoroughly broken. Also His priceless treasure. Both are true, and prayer begins by admitting both.
An artistic image features a quote by Chuck Swindoll: "Prayer begins with humility—not self-abusing thoughts but realistic acceptance of who we are before God. While deeply flawed and thoroughly broken, we are nonetheless His priceless treasures." The background shows a serene, misty landscape with a figure near a large tree.

This story of the Bible has one central character: God himself, specifically in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. From cover to cover, the Bible is a narrative of his wondrous works and the blessings that are yours by grace. This old, old story imparts identity, understanding, comfort, salvation, and hope. Has it become your favorite story to read everyday?

Let’s ask God today to help us keep our hearts soft and humble in the midst of our waiting. And let’s remember that God is working things out. His plans are good. And He can still be trusted.

“Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.” Psalm 86:11 (NIV) Yes, Lord. This is what I want. An undivided heart. One that seeks You first and loves You most.

Never Be Ashamed of Christ! By J.C. Ryle Live a courageous life. Confess Christ before men. Whatever station you occupy, in that station confess Christ. Why should you be ashamed of Him? He was not ashamed of you on the cross. He is ready to confess you now before His Father in heaven. Why should you be ashamed of Him? Be bold. Be very bold. The good soldier is not ashamed of his uniform. The true believer ought never be ashamed of Christ.

We rarely say it out loud, but many of us believe grace got us in the door and effort keeps us in the room. Paul wouldn't allow it: "Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God" (2 Corinthians 3:5). Sufficiency — the whole of it, start to finish, from Him. Saved by grace and transformed by grit is an exhausting arrangement. It also isn't the gospel. Comment below if you're grateful for God's grace!
A quote is overlaid on a painting of a forest scene. The quote reads: "In our accomplishment-driven, reward-oriented culture, we tend to believe that we are saved by God's grace but transformed by our own works. We need to remember that true spirituality comes from God; it doesn't come from us." — Chuck Swindoll.

Too much revelation & we'd pridefully run ahead of God. Too little & we'd be paralyzed with fear. So thankful He sheds just enough light to see the very next step.

No one thanks the surgeon during the surgery. Hebrews describes God's Word as living and active, "sharper than any two-edged sword," able to divide soul from spirit and to discern "the thoughts and intentions of the heart" (Hebrews 4:12). That isn't the language of comfort. It's the language of an operating room. A hard heart can't be coaxed soft. Sometimes it has to be opened.
A quote by Chuck Swindoll reads: "Yes, the heavenly Physician may cut where it hurts—especially as He treats the spiritual condition of a hard heart. But remember, He's not harming you; He's healing you." The design features a gray background with white text.

Heavenly Father, I acknowledge that all the power I need is in the name of Your Son, Jesus. I declare His name to be higher than any other name. I will not declare hopelessness or anxiety. I declare all hope, all courage, all assurance, all power in Jesus. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
