Wherever life takes you, there is a path that leads to true life—and in God’s presence, there is fullness of joy.

Psalm 16:11 points us toward the hope of being with God forever. Our greatest joy is not found in what this world offers, but in His presence.

Where is your mind focused?

Colossians 3:1 calls believers to “seek the things that are above”—to live with an eternal perspective because Christ is there, seated at the right hand of God.

Following Christ isn’t just about following a list of rules. It means continually turning our hearts and minds toward Him and allowing His truth to shape how we live.

⏳ What if we really understood how short our lives are?

Our lives can feel long while we’re living them. But in light of eternity, our time on earth is incredibly brief.

That perspective can change how we live.

The things we spend so much time worrying about, chasing, and holding onto won’t last forever.

But God does.

So instead of living only for what is temporary, let the brevity of this life remind you to live for what is eternal.

There is a path that leads to life—and wisdom means choosing to walk it.

Proverbs 15:24 reminds us that following God is not a path downward into death, but an upward path toward life.

👀 What if what we can’t see is more important than what we can?

We naturally focus on what is right in front of us—our problems, circumstances, disappointments, and everything happening around us.

But Scripture reminds us that “what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

Our present circumstances may feel overwhelming, but they are not the whole story.

As Christians, we are called to look beyond what we can see and set our hearts on the eternal realities God has promised.

Paul concludes his contrast of darkness and light with the statement "anything that becomes visible is light." When sin is exposed (Ephesians 5:13) change can take place and sins can be forgiven. Believers must confess their sins in order to be in fellowship with the Lord (1 John 1:8–9).

David wrote psalms 22, 31, 35, and 40, among many others. The opening of this psalm is much like that of psalm 31. Specific phrases from psalms 22, 35, and 40 are also seen here. The psalmist speaks about a lifetime worshipping God, growing older, and his current challenge from murderous conspirators. For all these reasons, it seems likely that David wrote this in response to the rebellion of his son, Absalom (2 Samuel 15—16). However, the song is technically anonymous and doesn't mention any specific event.

Paul has listed multiple examples of sinful lifestyles, insisting that nobody identified by them will inherit God's kingdom. That list included the sexually immoral, idol worshipers, adulterers, those who practice homosexuality, thieves, the greedy, drunkards, revilers (angry insulters), and swindlers who cheat people out of money. The point is not that such things are unforgivable, as this very verse disproves. Rather, those who embrace such acts demonstrate a deep rejection of God and His will. Those who persist in such sins are proving they want nothing to do with God.

Paul prefaces his statement here with "besides this." The "this" in question seems to be everything Paul has written from the start of chapter 12 through the previous verse. He has described what it means to live as a Christian on this side of eternity. Using a series of commands, many of them difficult to follow, Paul has painted a picture of a believer as a person who sets himself aside for the good of others and radically trusts God to provide all that is needed.

A crowd has gathered at Solomon's Portico to discover how a lame beggar is suddenly leaping and praising God (Acts 3:8–11). Peter explains that it is not his own power that healed this man, but the power of Jesus, whom the crowd rejected as their Messiah (Acts 3:12–16). He tells them to repent of their sins, including the corporate sin of Jesus' crucifixion.
