Leviticus 23:42

Life moves quickly, and it’s easy to forget what God has already done. In Scripture, Samuel built an Ebenezer (stone altar) to remind God’s people of His faithfulness. This three-day reading plan will help you pause, remember God’s provision, celebrate His goodness, and look ahead with confidence. Through biblical reflection and personal application, you'll discover how remembering God’s past faithfulness strengthens your faith for whatever lies ahead.

Consider not only the lilies of the field, but all the plants, trees, herbs, shrubs, and flowers that play a role in the biblical narrative. The Bible is peppered with allusions to the plants that were a part of daily life in the ancient Near East and New Testament Israel. With original illustrations, this devotional clarifies the biblical references to five different plants while providing meaningful insights into God’s Word.

Mere hours after Yom Kippur comes to an end, sounds of building and banging can be heard in Jewish communities around the world as Jews begin to build their temporary shelter known as a sukkah. Five days later, we will inhabit our sukkah for an entire week as we celebrate the biblical holiday of Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles. In this reading plan, we will learn how the sukkah connects the inspiration and introspection of the High Holy Days with our everyday living.

Only one Jewish ritual is mentioned in the Ten Commandments: keeping the Sabbath. This attests to the importance of the Sabbath, and to the centrality the Sabbath holds in Jewish tradition. The Sabbath is the focal point of the Jew's week. Every Sunday is a countdown to Friday when the Sabbath begins at sundown. Candles are lit, families join around the table for a ritual meal, and communities come together in Bible study and prayer. It is the highlight of each week, and the cornerstone of our faith.
