Psalmen 45:7

Through this devotional, we will discover the blessing of a person who is not often spoken about. His name is Asher, one of the sons of Jacob. Although his blessing is vast and profound, we will also read about his challenges and the trials he had to overcome.

This five-day devotional invites you into a clearer understanding of God’s Kingdom—what it is, how it works, and who you are within it. Many believers carry distorted views of God and themselves, but this plan helps realign your perspective by revealing the true nature of the King and the royal identity He gives His people. You’ll explore Kingdom principles, the impact of the fall, and the freedom Christ restores through grace, righteousness, and authority. By the end, you’ll see that Kingdom life is not shaped by guilt or shame, but by your identity as God’s redeemed royal people.

Let’s face it - life can be confusing! Wouldn’t it be nice to know where to find a spark of hope – a ray of light? Thankfully, God has a plan so that what we journey through can be illuminated by the radiance of His glory. Explore that plan with us in this devotional through the first two chapters of Hebrews.

Biola University's Center for Christianity, Culture & the Arts is pleased to share the annual Advent Project, a daily devotional series celebrating the beauty and meaning of the Advent season through art, music, poetry, prayer, Scripture, and written devotions. The project starts on the first day of Advent and continues through Epiphany. Our goal is to help individuals quiet their hearts and enter into a daily routine of worship and reflection during this meaningful but often hectic season. Our prayer is that the project will help ground you in the unsurpassable beauty, mystery and miracle of the Word made flesh.
