Today’s readings

Old Testament

Zechariah begins with a simple call: return to the Lord, and He will return to you. God has not forgotten Jerusalem.

New Testament

Revelation pictures the ancient conflict behind history: the dragon opposes God’s Messiah and His people, but is defeated through the Lamb.

Psalm

David asks God for protection from violent and scheming people and trusts that the Lord defends the needy. Proverb Summary Contempt for parents is treated seriously; prideful disrespect has consequences. Discover Jesus Jesus is the promised male child who rules the nations. His people conquer not by worldly force but through the Lamb’s victory and faithful testimony. Reflect Where do I need to return to God instead of merely trying harder? Fellowship How does the Lamb’s victory change the way believers fight spiritual battles?

Prayer

Victorious Jesus, keep me near You and make my testimony faithful. Amen.

Live

Fight today’s spiritual battle with truth, prayer, and loyalty to Jesus.
