God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today.

On Friday, February 20, we’re back in Haggai 1, but today the spotlight is on one verse that will either wake you up or expose you:

“Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house… that I may take pleasure in it and that I may be glorified.” (Hag. 1:8)

This is the correction we don’t want—but desperately need: God doesn’t always send a miracle first. Sometimes He hands you a shovel, points at the mountain, and says, “Start.”

We keep waiting on the big breakthrough… while God is waiting on our obedience. We keep praying for provision… while God is calling for participation.

Here’s the principle: Do what you can, so God can do what you can’t. You can’t change a heart. You can’t save anyone. But you can take the hike, bring the wood, and build what honors Him.

Today’s challenge is simple and practical: bring somebody with you. Invite them to worship. Invite them into the Word. Put in the work—so God gets the glory.

God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today.

On Thursday, February 19, we’re in Luke 12, and Jesus drops a warning that hits like a gavel: your life does not consist in the abundance of your possessions.

This episode sits in the progression we’ve been walking all week:

• Haggai 1: misplaced priorities
• Deuteronomy 8: prosperity that makes you forget God
• Luke 12: the moment comfort turns into covetousness

Jesus tells the parable of the rich fool—a man with overflowing harvests who solves abundance with bigger barns… but never once talks to God, never once thanks God, never once thinks about stewardship—only storage. And God’s verdict is terrifyingly simple: “Fool… this night your soul is required of you.”

Here’s the line you need today: Jesus refuses to referee greed. He exposes it. He warns against it. And He calls us out of hoarding into stewarding—because eternity doesn’t consult your retirement plan.

So pray one honest prayer today: “Lord, what do You want me to do with what You’ve given me?” Not someday. Not after “enough.” Today.

God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today.

On Wednesday, February 18, we’re in Deuteronomy 8—and it pairs perfectly with yesterday’s warning in Haggai 1. Haggai confronts misplaced priorities. Deuteronomy 8 confronts what often creates them: prosperity.

Moses is looking Israel in the eyes and saying, “You’re about to walk into a good land—streams, harvest, abundance, stability… so don’t forget the Lord.” Because the wilderness can break you, but comfort can erase you.

And here’s the detail that will mess with you: “Your clothing did not wear out… and your foot did not swell these forty years.” Forty years of walking—and God held their bodies together, their clothes together, their daily bread together. That’s not a one-time miracle. That’s daily mercy.

This episode is a call to recognize what we tend to overlook: the miracles that feel “normal” because they’re constant. Breath in your lungs. Strength to work. A mind that can think. A Savior who intercedes. The Spirit who dwells. Grace that keeps showing up.

Deuteronomy 8 is God saying: I took care of you when you had nothing. Don’t get comfortable and start acting like you did it when you have everything. Prosperity is a test—because it tempts you to trust the gift and forget the Giver.

So here’s today’s challenge: write down the mercies you’re in danger of forgetting. Name them. Remember them. Let memory turn into worship—before comfort turns into drifting.

God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today.

On Tuesday, February 17, our reading takes us to Haggai 1—a short chapter with a long shadow. The people are back from exile, free to rebuild… and they start with their own houses while God’s house sits in ruins. And the issue isn’t money. It’s priority.

Haggai exposes a deadly phrase we still use today: “Not yet.” “We’ll obey later.” “We’ll rebuild later.” “We’ll get serious later.” But spiritual procrastination is never neutral—delayed obedience is disobedience.

God’s question is sharp: Is it time for you to live in paneled houses while My house lies in ruins? In other words: How did your comfort get finished first and My glory get pushed to the bottom of the list? Because what you prioritize is what you worship.

Then comes the refrain that won’t let you off the hook: “Consider your ways.” Look at your life. Look at your calendar. Look at your bank account. Look at what gets your first, your best, your energy, your attention.

Haggai names the fruit of misaligned priorities: busy but barren. Eating but not satisfied. Drinking but still empty. Working hard, but it’s like putting wages into a bag with holes—always leaking, always stressed, always chasing.

This episode is a wake-up call: full schedules, empty souls. God doesn’t want your leftovers—He wants your first love.

So today’s challenge is simple and ruthless: consider your ways. What does your life say you worship? And what needs to move back to the top—today, not later.

God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today.

On February 16, we’re back in Titus 3 one more time—because sometimes you don’t need a new passage, you need fresh eyes on the same one. After hearing Titus 3 preached, we return to the final lines of the letter (Titus 3:12–15) and Paul pulls the curtain back on what real ministry looks like.

It’s not always a platform. Sometimes it’s painfully practical: “Do your best… see that they lack nothing.” Paul tells Titus to send gospel workers forward—Zenas and Apollos—and to send them well supplied. The mission keeps moving, and the church’s job is to make sure the work isn’t slowed down by what could’ve been provided.

Then the punch lands: Paul isn’t asking if you’re faithful. He’s asking if you’re fruitful.

You can attend every week and still be unproductive spiritually. God didn’t call you to be an “attendance guy.” He called you to be a disciple who produces fruit that lasts—holiness, obedience, disciple-making, and a life that actually looks like Jesus in the real world.

So today’s question is simple and uncomfortable: What are you producing? And the closing encouragement is exactly what you need to hear: “Grace be with you all.” Because it takes grace to stay fruitful in a culture that trains you to drift.

Don’t just be present. Be productive. And may grace be with you today.

God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today.

February 14 takes us to Psalm 103, and this is a worshipful gut-check. Titus 3 told us the truth: salvation doesn’t flow from merit—it flows from mercy. Psalm 103 turns that doctrine into doxology.

David starts by talking to his own soul: “Bless the Lord, O my soul… and forget not all his benefits.” Translation: worship isn’t always spontaneous—sometimes it’s intentional. And if we’re honest, a lot of us don’t have a worship problem… we have a forgetting problem.

Here’s today’s challenge: stop casually remembering God. Because you will never consistently worship a God you casually remember.

Psalm 103 forces you to remember what you keep overlooking: He forgives. He heals. He redeems. He crowns. He satisfies. He doesn’t just pull you out of the pit—He puts a crown on your head. He doesn’t just erase your sin—He restores your soul. And if you’re waiting to “feel” worship, this psalm says: start remembering. Write it down. Rehearse it. Preach to your own heart.

So today, don’t scroll past grace. Don’t yawn at mercy. Don’t forget the benefits.

Read all 22 verses. Slow down. Let each line hit you. And then live like someone who’s been forgiven, healed, redeemed, crowned, and satisfied—because you have.

Remember Him. And worship like you mean it.

God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today.

On February 13, we’re back in Titus 3—not to repeat ourselves, but to let the Word sink in before Sunday. Paul’s message is crystal clear: you can bank on the gospel. “The saying is trustworthy.” This is not religious hype. This is a verdict.

Today’s focus is Titus 3:8–11—what happens after mercy finds you. Paul tells Titus, “Insist on these things.” Keep saying it. Keep affirming it. Don’t let the gospel become background noise—because when grace becomes “just there,” we start treating Scripture like the stars: beautiful, constant… and ignored.

But the gospel isn’t decoration. It’s oxygen.

So here’s the push: insist on grace—and then let grace produce a life that matches it. Not works to earn salvation, but good works as the fruit of salvation. The redeemed should be “careful to devote themselves to good works”—because this is what’s excellent and profitable for people.

And then Paul draws a hard line: avoid the pointless fights—the debates that don’t make you look like Jesus. The controversies that loop forever. The divisive voices that love arguments more than the gospel. Protect the church. Keep the main thing the main thing.

Today’s episode is a call to stop treating the Word like it’s casually available. Don’t just let it be there. Read the whole chapter. Take it slow. And insist on the truth until it shapes your life.

God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today.

February 12 takes us into Romans 5, where Paul grounds your faith in something sturdier than feelings: grace. If your peace with God rises and falls on your emotions, Romans 5 is here to steady you.

In this episode, we trace what happens when you’ve been justified by faith: the war is over, the case is closed, the gavel has fallen—peace with God is yours through Jesus Christ. Grace isn’t a doorway you nervously step through; it’s the foundation you stand on.

And then Paul goes deeper: grace doesn’t deny suffering—it outlasts it. Suffering produces endurance, endurance produces character, character produces hope… and hope doesn’t shame you, because God’s love has been poured into your heart by the Holy Spirit.

Then comes the power: while we were still weak… still ungodly… still sinners… Christ died for us. Grace didn’t wait for worthiness. Grace created worthiness.

Romans 5 ends by putting two outcomes side by side: Adam brought sin, death, and condemnation. Jesus brings righteousness, life, and justification. And where sin increased, grace abounded all the more.

So here’s today’s word: stop living like the verdict is still up for debate. The cross settled it. Grace sealed it. Hope holds you fast.
