Today's journey through Scripture takes us into the heart of God's righteous anger and unfailing mercy. In Jeremiah 15, we encounter a powerful moment where God's wrath against persistent rebellion is laid bare—yet even in judgment, His mercy shines through. The chapter reminds us that bearing God's name means more than religious performance; it means consuming His Word until it becomes our joy and delight. We're challenged to ask ourselves: Are people encountering Jesus when they meet us? The theme of intercession emerges beautifully, pointing us toward a new generation of prayer warriors who will stand in the gap for their nations and communities. Matthew 15 continues this thread, showing us Jesus moved with compassion, refusing to send people away hungry—physically or spiritually. The Canaanite woman's persistent faith teaches us that even crumbs from the Master's table contain miracle-working power. Paul's letter to the Romans calls us to bear with the failings of the weak, reminding us that we who are strong have an obligation not to give up on those still struggling toward freedom. Finally, Revelation 3 delivers urgent messages to the churches: wake up from spiritual deadness, hold fast to what remains, and recognize that Jesus stands at the door knocking. These passages collectively invite us to simplify our walk with God, to be carriers of hope and encouragement, and to remember that the miracle we seek often lies in what we already have in our hands.
