Day 302 Bible Readings – Lamentations 3:21-23 (ESV)

Lamentations 2, Lamentations 3:1-39, Philemon 1, Proverbs 10:31-32

Lamentations 3:21-23 (ESV)

“But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

In Lamentations 3:21-23, after lamenting over the destruction of Jerusalem, the Old Testament prophet Jeremiah remembered Father-God’s past faithfulness to His people.  Jeremiah’s memories gave him hope and the faith to persevere in his grief. He recalled the faithfulness of the Lord and His unending mercy, recognizing that God the Father renews His mercy and compassion daily because He is constant and unchanging.

Jeremiah reminds us to remember Father-God’s past faithfulness in our lives when we need to renew our hope in Him. Even in times of sorrow and pain, we need to recollect the Lord’s promises to His people. God the Father renews His mercy and compassion every morning, offering us a new start each day. We must remember the constancy and faithfulness of God the Father and renew our hope and trust in Him.

We can read the Bible, which emphasizes the Lord’s commitment to His people despite their unfaithfulness and His unfailing mercy. We can reflect on our own faith journey with the Lord and meditate on our deep and loving relationship with Him. God the Father is always constant and faithful to his children, even during our darkest times.

If these verses stir something within your heart—if you feel moved to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who is constant and faithful in the darkest of times—this could be your moment. Open your heart to Him, speak to Him in the following prayer, and tell Him that you trust Him. Express your desire to walk with Him and welcome His presence into your life. Father-God is faithful, and He stands ready to meet you wherever you are.

Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Day 301 Bible Readings – Titus 3:3-7 (ESV)

Lamentations 1, Titus 3, Proverbs 10:21-30

Titus 3:3-7 (ESV)

“For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”

In Titus 3:3-7, the apostle Paul writes to Titus and the believers in Crete about what it means to follow Jesus and live as a Christian. He urges them to look back and remember who they were before they knew Christ—reminding them that everyone has a past, but God offers a fresh start. Paul makes it clear that this new life isn’t something we earn by being good or doing good deeds; rather, it’s a gift from God, given out of His kindness and mercy.

When Paul talks about being “born again,” he’s describing a spiritual change—like starting a new chapter in life with God’s help. It’s not just about trying to be better; it’s about letting Father-God transform you from the inside out. “Salvation as a gift” means that God the Father offers forgiveness, acceptance, and hope freely, because He loves us—not because we’ve done enough to deserve it. And when Paul says believers are “heirs to God,” he’s saying that, through faith in Jesus, we become part of Father-God’s family and receive the promise of eternal life with Him.

Reflecting on this passage, I am reminded of the importance of gratitude for my salvation. Through the grace of Jesus Christ, I have been made into a new person, no longer defined by my past. When I notice myself reverting to old patterns or behaviors from before I was saved, I remember the moment I became born again—a true transformation that changed my heart and direction in life.

In times of weakness, I know I can turn to the Holy Spirit for guidance and help. Sometimes, I find myself needing to seek the Holy Spirit’s assistance constantly—even every minute. This reliance isn’t a sign of failure, but a recognition of my ongoing need for Father-God’s strength and wisdom. I understand the importance of regularly examining myself each day. It’s vital to ensure that my actions reflect God the Father’s will for my life and that I continue to walk in alignment with His purposes. I am confident that my faith makes me an heir of Father-God. My inheritance is the promise of eternal life with the Lord—a hope that anchors my soul and motivates me to continue growing in my relationship with Him.

If these verses stir something within your heart—if you feel moved to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who will give you the hope of eternal life with God the Father—this could be your moment. Open your heart to Him, speak to Him in the following prayer, and tell Him that you trust Him. Express your desire to walk with Him and welcome His presence into your life. Father-God is faithful, and He stands ready to meet you wherever you are.

Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation.

Day 300 Bible Readings – Habakkuk 2:6-8 (ESV)

Habakkuk 1-2, Habakkuk 3:1-19, Titus 2, Proverbs 10:11-20

Habakkuk 2:6-8 (ESV)

“Shall not all these take up their taunt against him, with scoffing and riddles for him, and say, “Woe to him who heaps up what is not his own—for how long?—and loads himself with pledges!” Will not your debtors suddenly arise, and those awake who will make you tremble? Then you will be spoil for them. Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder you, for the blood of man and violence to the earth, to cities and all who dwell in them.”

In Habakkuk 2:6-8, the Old Testament prophet Habakkuk reveals Father-God’s plan of justice for the Babylonians. The Babylonians had accumulated wealth through plundering others, but the Lord declared that a time would come when they themselves would be plundered. This passage emphasizes that true wealth is found in following the Lord’s laws of fairness and justice, rather than through exploitation or violence. Father-God assures Habakkuk that justice will be served for those who commit acts of violence and oppression. God the Father makes it clear that those who are oppressed will eventually rise against their oppressors because He holds everyone accountable for their actions. The principle at work here is that no wrongdoing goes unnoticed by the Lord, and all people will ultimately face the consequences of their actions.

These verses serve as a reminder that stealing from others or exploiting them inevitably leads to facing justice and experiencing the consequences of such actions. When someone exploits others, those same people may eventually seek to exploit the wrongdoer in return. The Lord sees everything and will hold everyone accountable, ensuring that justice is served according to His perfect wisdom.

Justice will come from Father-God, and everyone will reap what they sow. Those who sow injustice will eventually experience injustice themselves as part of God the Father’s justice. Although it can be difficult to witness acts of injustice seemingly going unpunished, we must trust that Father-God will address every wrong in His perfect timing, because He is sovereign over all things.

If these verses stir something within your heart—if you feel moved to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who sees all and brings justice in every situation—this could be your moment. Open your heart to Him, speak to Him in prayer, and tell Him that you trust Him. Express your desire to walk with Him and welcome His presence into your life. Father-God is faithful, and He stands ready to meet you wherever you are.

Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Day 299 Bible Readings – Jeremiah 52:31-32 (ESV)

Jeremiah 52, Titus 1, Proverbs 10:1-10

Jeremiah 52:31-32 (ESV)

“And in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, graciously freed Jehoiachin king of Judah and brought him out of prison. And he spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat above the seats of the kings who were with him in Babylon.”

In Jeremiah 52:31–32, the prophet records what happened to Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, while God’s people were still in exile. Jehoiachin was released from prison and began to receive better treatment in Babylon. He exchanged his prison garments for regular clothes, ate daily at the Babylonian king’s table, and was given a daily allowance.

These verses remind us that the Lord is sovereign in all circumstances. He remains in control and can orchestrate events for the good of His people, changing situations according to His divine will. Even when we find ourselves in difficult seasons, believers in Jesus Christ can trust that Father-God will bring restoration in His perfect timing. The Lord often uses unexpected people and events to reveal His kindness and mercy. As followers of Christ, we must trust in His sovereignty, knowing that He can bring transformation even in the hardest moments of our lives.

When I first moved to Arizona, those first three months were some of the hardest I’ve ever faced. My job search seemed hopeless, and I was weighed down by the stress of leaving a place I’d called home for decades. Experts say moving is one of life’s most stressful experiences, and I certainly felt it. I went through a solid week of deep depression, convinced it would never end. But during that time, the Holy Spirit reminded me of the promise the Lord had made—that I would find a job within six months of moving. That gentle reminder gave me the strength to climb out of that dark place. And true to His word, Father-God fulfilled His promise—I found a job within six months of arriving in the state.

If these verses stir something in your heart today—if you feel a tug to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who is always in control—this could be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer. Tell Him that you trust Him, that you long to walk with Him, and that you welcome His presence into your life. Father-God is faithful, and He stands ready to meet you right where you are.

Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
