Before you begin
Ask the Lord to give you a fresh sense of wonder as you read His Word. Pray for understanding and for an open, humble, obedient heart to receive what He wants to say to you.

Reflect
When obeying God feels like fire shut up in your bones, how does the hope and certainty of heaven strengthen you?
Heaven is yours. What God opens, no one can shut. You can’t be blocked out, canceled out, thrown out, or forgotten about. Though you’ve done nothing to deserve entrance there, He who alone is the Key to heaven has thrown its doors wide open for you. —Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth1
Respond
Write a short prayer, based on today’s reading. This could include praise, gratitude, personal confession, agreement with the truth, or a request for yourself or someone else.
