1 Corinthians 5:8
Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old bread leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

The festivals Israel celebrated were always about one thing, and it wasn’t the food. It was about focusing their hearts on remembering. Remembering the One who delivered them from their enemies and gave them everything they needed. All they needed to do was worship Him with sincere hearts filled with genuine faith. God treasures humility over hypocrisy.

Isaiah 25:9
And it will be said on that day, ‘Behold, this is our God; we have waited for Him, that He might save us. This is the Lord; we have waited for Him; let us be glad and rejoice in His salvation.

When you’re uncertain about the present, it’s hard to believe that the future will be any better. But God wanted Israel to know that no matter what difficulties they faced in the present, their future would be filled with joy. And it’s the same for you. No matter what you face today, you are promised a heavenly future filled with overwhelming joy.

Psalm 118:24
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Rejoice in today because it’s the one you’ve been gifted. You might be tempted to focus on tomorrow because you believe it will be better, but remember, God has gifted you this day. And even though it might not hold everything you hoped it would, it’s still the day God chose to gift you… so choose to rejoice in that gift today.

Jude 1:6
And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day.

When God created the angels, some chose to reject God’s authority and because of that decision, they faced grave consequences. The Bible says that rebellion against God always leads to eternal separation and judgment. And even though each one of us has been seen as a rebel, God’s given us a way to not face those same consequences. And it’s simple: put your faith in the One who bore your consequences and gave His life for you on the cross.

Revelation 14:6
Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people.

He gets to share the gospel with the world. It’s an angel that will be sent out before Jesus returns to earth. And in some mysterious, miraculous way he can be understood by every single person who hears him speak. Since God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked, He sends out His angel to make sure everyone can hear the gospel one more time. And it’s a message meant for all who have eyes to see and ears to hear.

Psalm 91:11
For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways…

Did you know angels guard you? God has specifically commanded them to watch over you; to give you help in your time of need. It’s a divine assignment by God they’ve been given to guard you in every way. So, today thank God for the angels that have protected you and continue to protect you.
