Most people learn early to keep the hardest parts of themselves hidden, even from God. We tidy up before we pray, as if He needs the polished version. But this verse invites something different. Pour out your heart. Not the edited summary, but the fear you can't name, the disappointment you've been holding and the questions you're afraid to ask out loud. God is a refuge, and a refuge is a place you run to exactly as you are, not somewhere you have to earn your way into. The honest prayer matters more than the eloquent one. When you bring Him the unguarded truth of what you're carrying, something in your body, mind and spirit begins to settle, because you are no longer holding it alone. Today, tell Him the part you usually leave out, and believe that He can be trusted with all of it.

The condition of your heart shapes the condition of your whole body. Researchers studying optimism have found that people who carry a hopeful outlook tend to live longer and face a lower risk of heart disease. The connection is strong enough that doctors are paying attention to it, but Scripture identified this thousands of years ago. A hopeful spirit isn't about forcing a smile or pretending hardship away. It's about resting your confidence in a God who holds your future and letting that settle into your body, mind and spirit. When real hope takes root in you, it does quiet work that medicine alone cannot. Today, lift your eyes to the One who is faithful, and let a hopeful heart strengthen you from the inside out.

The Law and the Gospel

Jesus Himself explained very powerfully and succinctly what His relationship to the law was.

In Matthew 5:17, 18, what did Jesus say about the law?

In a similar way to how parents’ boundaries for their child reveal what they value, God’s law tells us about His character and what is important to Him. God gave us His law to protect our relationship with Him and with one another, knowing that His law would guide every aspect of our lives as we grow in Him. After all, who hasn’t suffered the terrible consequences of what sin, a violation of the law, has caused to each of us?

Love for Jesus is at the very center of the law. Jesus said, “ ‘If you love me, you will obey my commandments’ ” (John 14:15, NET). When we genuinely love Jesus, we will be naturally compelled to keep His law. When we see His law clearly, we will feel compelled to love Jesus more. And, even more important, always keeping before our eyes a vision of the Cross and Christ’s substitutionary death for us is the best way to foster our love for God.

That’s why the gospel goes hand in hand with the law. That is, however much we believe in the law and in the importance of keeping it, we must always remember that in terms of our legal standing before God, the law only condemns. The law never forgives, never justifies, and never atones. On the contrary, it points out why we need to be forgiven, why we need to be justified, and why we need atonement. That’s why along with the law—even foundational to our understanding of the law—is the gospel, Christ’s death on our behalf, which does for us what the law can never do: justify us before God.

Read the following verses: Romans 3:28, Romans 4:13–16, Galatians 2:16, Galatians 3:13, and Philippians 3:9. What do these verses teach us that can help us, as believers, to keep the law, without becoming legalistic?

The Law

How would you define and describe sin to a non-Christian? How does the Bible describe sin? Read Romans 3:20 and 1 John 3:4.

Sin is a transgression of God’s law (1 John 3:4), and sin also is wrapped up in our natures (Ps. 51:5, Jer. 17:9). So, it’s the law that brings to light what sin really is. The law is like putting on a pair of glasses so we can clearly see what’s really around us, or using a mirror to see what we really look like. It brings clarity and conviction to our lives and our characters while at the same time telling us about God’s character and what’s important to Him.

The Ten Commandments (Exod. 20:3–17) were written by God’s own finger. Jesus echoed their importance: “ ‘ “And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.” This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” There is no other commandment greater than these’ ” (Mark 12:30, 31, NKJV). He added: “ ‘On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets’ ” (Matt. 22:40, NKJV).

God’s words to the Israelites at Mount Sinai and to us today (Heb. 1:1, 2) tell us that the law is all about relationships. God gave the law as a safeguard to protect our relationship with Him and with others. However, Satan has distorted the beauty of God’s law so that some see it as a burden. Legalism rather than love and freedom is often attached to the law, even though the Bible tells us, “For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome” (1 John 5:3, NKJV).

1. On a scale of one to five, how precious is the Living Word (and the law, as a part of it) to me?
2. When I keep God’s law, is it restricting me or strengthening me? How can I better understand the law if I think it is restricting me?
3. What might happen if God’s law of love for Him and others was brought into the center of my life, my family, and my church? What might change in my life and my relationships?

There is something sacred about a sacrifice made on behalf of people the giver would never meet. That kind of love points us toward the heart of Jesus, who walked the costly road of sacrifice for us long before we knew His name. The most fitting way to honor those who gave so much is to live with gratitude worthy of the freedom we have received. This weekend, as flags are raised and names are spoken, let your thankfulness turn outward and become a life marked by humility, service and love.

Strongholds in My Relationship With God

There are many messages in the Bible that speak about our relationship with God and the barriers that prevent us from growing in Christ. Consider these words from Paul and Jesus:

“Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall” (1 Cor. 10:12, NKJV). Like Samson, self-reliance will bring you down.

“ ‘Do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do . . . , that they may have glory from men’ ” (Matt. 6:2, NKJV). Stop telling everyone how good you are! Be humble, as Jesus was humble.

“ ‘But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you’ ” (Matt. 5:28, 29, NKJV). Do anything to remove the lust from your heart, because this is a barrier to your relationship with God.

“ ‘Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged’ ” (Matt. 7:1, 2, NKJV). Stop being so critical and judgmental of others. God is the Judge, so let Him be so (1 Cor. 4:5).

“ ‘But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you’ ” (Matt. 5:44, NKJV). Stop hating your enemies. When you feel negatively toward those who treat you badly, it instantly places a barrier in your relationship with God. Instead, start praying for your enemies and see how this changes not just your walk with God but also your relationship with others.

“ ‘But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment’ ” (Matt. 5:22, NKJV). Perhaps you’ve been justifying why you yell at those close to you. How is your anger impacting your relationship with God, not to mention those you’re angry at? These are just a few areas that make us stumble.

Jesus warned about what we should do when our hands, feet, and eyes cause us to sin. What was Jesus warning us about? Read Mark 9:42–48.

To cut off your hand or foot or to pluck out your eye because it’s causing you to sin is extreme. It was supposed to be. But this is how seriously Jesus sees sin and its impact in our lives. How seriously are you taking it?

SUNDAY, MAY 24
Distractions and Temptations

Read about Samson’s temptations in Judges 14 and Judges 16:1, 4, 16, 17. Although called by God for a specific purpose, Samson served God while giving in to temptation. What does the outcome of his life teach us?

The great controversy is real, and we are all involved in it. The cosmic battle that began in heaven is now being played out in each of our own lives, as well.

Satan knows that he has to pull out everything he’s got in the times that we’re living in, right before Jesus comes, to keep us from having a close relationship with God. Perhaps you’ve been distracted with something that may not necessarily be wrong in itself but takes so much time and energy that there’s very little left for God. Maybe it’s work, social media, shopping, sports, or food. When we take a good hard look at ourselves, we’ll see that overconsumption and an imbalance of any of these things can allow for little time for God and others. The enemy knows each of our weaknesses and the kinds of things that distract us from spending time with God. We should remember to seek God first (Matt. 6:33) before rushing into our day and all that may come our way.

Jesus understands our condition, but He rebukes our apathy (Rev. 3:14–22). Although He is God, He was also a human being who felt tired, as we do (John 4:6). He knew the pressures of life, as we do, but He often got relief by going away alone to pray to His Father (Luke 5:16, Luke 6:12, Mark 1:35, Matt. 14:23). He knew that time with His Father was the best thing He could do to regain strength to battle temptations. It’s the best and surest way for us too.

Samson fell because he thought he was strong. He depended on his own strength to overcome temptations. Every day, each of us faces battles with sin as the enemy of souls tries to weaken and destroy our relationship with God. He knows our weaknesses and zeroes in on them in order to dull our relationship with God and to bring guilt and a sense of unworthiness upon us, all of which tend to drive us away from God. The devil works to shift our thinking, our intentions, and our actions in order to gain a stronghold in some part of our lives. But remember: our faith will help us to stand, and faith comes by hearing the Word of God.

What are you struggling with now? How can the Word of God help you right now?
