Peace, given right where the dying had been. Notice what ended the plague: someone who refused to let sin sit comfortably in the camp. What are you still tolerating that God calls deadly?

Father, you are the one who holds me steady when nothing else does. I didn't earn this place in Christ,…Father, you are the one who holds me steady when nothing else does. I didn't earn this place in Christ, and I can't keep myself in it. You set me here, you marked me as yours. Help me rest in that today instead of trying to prove it.
Those who weep, as though they didn't weep; and those who rejoice, as though they didn't rejoice; and those who…Those who weep, as though they didn't weep; and those who rejoice, as though they didn't rejoice; and those who buy, as though they didn't possess."

A craftsman can carve "the figure of a man," but he cannot make a god. You formed me; I never formed You. Thank You for being living and real, far beyond anything my hands could build.

His calves had become simply how things were done, a habit nobody questioned anymore. What have you inherited and never examined? Some sins we never chose. We just never departed from them.
Father, my years are short and my choices echo further than I know. Keep me from simply repeating what I…Father, my years are short and my choices echo further than I know. Keep me from simply repeating what I inherited. Where the pattern is broken, let it end with me, and let what I pass on be worth receiving.
