WEEK 4 — Legacy
Dear Daughter,
Before Joshua crossed, he set up twelve stones so the children would ask, 'What do these stones mean?'
Make your marriage a monument that invites questions — not perfection, but testimony.
Worship today by remembering, out loud, what He has carried you through.
'That this may be a sign among you… what mean ye by these stones?' (Josh 4:6, paraphrased).
What testimony from this month will you speak over your home today?

Lord, help us enjoy the gift without worshiping the gift.
Help us cherish the blessing without losing sight of the Blesser.
Let every good gift lead our hearts back to the One from whom every good and perfect gift comes. (James 1:17)

A Bible that is falling apart often belongs to someone who isn't.
Read it. Study it. Treasure it. Obey it.
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." - Psalm 119:105

The greatest joy of a Christian is to give joy to Christ.

Christians aren't people who think they'll get to Heaven because they're good.
It's actually the opposite.
Being a Christian means realizing you are evil and that your only hope of Heaven is trusting in Jesus, who alone is good (Luke 18:9-14).

You cannot love the gospel of grace without also loving the God of justice.
The cross shows us both his infinite mercy and his holy wrath against sin.

If everyone followed God's commands about sexual immorality by no longer:
- Committing adultery
- Watching porn
- Lusting
- Having sex outside of marriage
STDs would be gone, millions of hearts would be healed, and countless families would be strengthened.
God's ways are best.

August 31: Walking with Jesus
#Devotional
Isaiah 65:1–66:24; Luke 24:13–53; Job 14:11–22
Imagine encountering Jesus on the road to Emmaus. It would be a surreal experience. You’re walking to the next town, and you start a conversation with a man beside you, only to find out later that you’ve been talking with the resurrected Son of God. Even more surreal, the topic of conversation up to your moment of discovery has been the death of the man walking with you (Luke 24:13–35).
I have often wondered what it would be like to meet Jesus face to face—to have Him explain to me how He exists in the biblical text from Moses, in all the prophets, and in all Scripture (Luke 24:27). How different would my life be after that experience? Would I rethink everything I had known and heard—perhaps everything I do?
Asking these questions is not only healthy, it also turns on our spiritual GPS. Are we on the path God has called us to? Have we strayed in one direction or another? Are we caught in some odd roundabout where we’re explaining to Jesus what His coming means?
Many Christians—not just scholars and preachers—complicate matters of salvation. We overthink God’s work or place it at a distance from our daily lives. Like the old saying, we become “too big for our britches,” forgetting that, ultimately, the entire Bible points to Jesus and His redeeming work.
Jesus’ work is real and surreal. In the Bible, He is present everywhere. In our lives, He is present in every aspect and every moment. We need only to acknowledge Him and act upon the truth of His message. That simple idea is what it means to walk the road with our Savior.
How can you walk more aligned with the Savior?

August 31 - Examples of Jesus’ Compassion
#LifeOfChrist
“Seeing the people, He felt compassion for them” (Matthew 9:36).
Examples in the gospels of Jesus’ compassion are notable. When He saw Mary and others weeping for the deceased Lazarus, “He was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled” (John 11:33) and wept with them (v. 35). The phrase “deeply moved in spirit” connotes physical as well as emotional and spiritual anguish. As He saw Lazarus’s friends and family grieving, He entered into real crying with them.
When arrested in the garden, Christ was more concerned about the disciples than Himself: “If you [soldiers] seek Me, let these go their way” (John 18:8). While on the cross He still had concern for His mother: “He said to His mother, ‘Woman, behold, your son!’” (19:26).
In one of His most poignant expressions of deep compassion for others, Jesus lamented, “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling” (Matt. 23:37; cf. Luke 19:41–42).
Commenting on two familiar verses about Jesus’ compassion and sympathy (Heb. 4:15; 5:8), Paul Brand said,
A stupefying concept: God’s Son learning through His experiences on earth. Before taking on a body, God had no personal experience of physical pain or of the effect of rubbing against needy persons. But God dwelt among us and touched us, and His time spent here allows Him to more fully identify with our pain.
Ask Yourself
What does Christ’s compassion inspire in you? How could you be more daring and deliberate about taking His heart with you into your world of need, touching others with the love and mercy of Jesus?
