Old Testament
Solomon receives wisdom and begins building the Temple. The work is large because it is meant to honor the Lord.
New Testament
Believers are united with Christ in His death and resurrection. Grace is not permission to remain in sin; we are called to new life.
Psalm
God is our secure portion and shows us the path of life.
Proverb
Wise counsel should be received, not ignored.
Discover
The Temple is being built as a place of God’s presence. Romans tells us that in Christ an even deeper work is underway: old life dies and new life begins.
Reflect
What old pattern needs to stay buried rather than be carried into new life?
Fellowship
What does it mean practically to be alive to God in Christ?
Prayer
Jesus, help me walk in the new life You purchased for me. Amen.

Choose one action today that belongs to your new life in Christ.
