Friend, let me remind you of something Jesus said in John 14:6—“I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

Now, that’s not just a verse to memorize—it’s a lifeline to hold onto. In a world full of detours, dead ends, and false roads, Jesus doesn’t point you to a better map—He is the way. When lies swirl and truth feels slippery, He doesn’t just give good advice—He is the truth. And when life gets heavy, when it feels like the light is fading, He doesn’t just sprinkle you with encouragement—He is the life.

Think of it like this: you don’t have to keep searching for the road when the Road Himself is walking with you. You don’t have to live in confusion when the Truth is living inside you. You don’t have to fear death when the Life has already conquered the grave.

So today, lean into Jesus. Trust Him with your steps. Follow His lead. He is not just the best option—He’s the only One who can carry you all the way home.

James 3:13 says, “Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.”

Friend, wisdom isn’t proven by how many books you’ve read or how many opinions you can give—it’s revealed by the way you live. True wisdom doesn’t strut; it serves. It doesn’t shout; it shows. It’s seen in the quiet, steady choices of a life lived with humility before God.

Anybody can talk big, but James says real wisdom is marked by meekness—that settled strength that doesn’t have to win the argument, but chooses instead to win the heart. Wisdom listens before it speaks. Wisdom seeks peace when the world is stirring up strife. Wisdom reflects Jesus.

So today, don’t just ask God to give you knowledge—ask Him to shape you into a vessel of wisdom. Let your words be kind, your actions be consistent, and your spirit be humble. When people look at your life, may they see not just what you know, but who you know—and may that lead them straight to Christ.

Ephesians 2:18 says, “For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.”

Friend, let that truth settle in for a moment. You don’t need a special pass, you don’t have to wait in line, and you don’t have to earn enough spiritual points to be heard. Through Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit, you have full access to God the Father. That means when your heart is heavy, you can bring it straight to Him. When you’ve got a need, you can step right into His presence. When you feel unworthy, you remember—it’s not about what you’ve done, it’s about what Christ has already done for you.

Think of it like this: the door to God’s throne room isn’t locked. It’s wide open, and your name is on the guest list. Jesus is your key, and the Spirit is your escort. So don’t stay outside carrying your burdens alone—walk boldly into the presence of your Father today. He’s not distant, He’s near. He’s not reluctant, He’s ready. And the good news? You’re always welcome.
